From the President
Well the first month in the New Year is already at an end. I hope that all of you had a great 2012 and are looking forward to lots of golf in 2013! We had a good turn-out for the 2013 Stockholders Meeting on the 21st. We really missed all the members who could not make it. I would like to sincerely thank Charles McClure, Trish Giocamazzi and David Stephenson for their hard work over the last year. New board members elected were Bob Lang, Roger Senter and Chad Pernell. Be sure to talk to any board member when you have a concern (or even a compliment).
I am sorry to report that Janice Price has resigned from the board. The board will be looking for a replacement over the next few weeks. Many Thanks to Janice for all you have done for the club.
The main well on the course has been replaced and will be in operation soon. Please pray for rain so that we don’t have to use it quite as much this year. We hope to have a couple of work days this year and I hope you can all find some time to lend a hand with special projects to spruce up the course. I would like to ask everyone to stay on the cart paths as much as possible to help protect the grass in the fairways and rough. This time of year the grass really takes a beating, please help us out as much as possible.
The Polar Bear Tournament is coming up soon and is filling fast. Call Tim if you are interested in playing, we need a full field for this one!
Hope everyone can come down and play as the weather permits.

Greetings to all!! Well we finally got a reprieve from the weeks of ice cold weather and actually have gotten some play at the course recently. It’s about time!! Hopefully the warmth will continue and we can have a steady flow of players on the course. Lets keep our fingers crossed that the warm weather is here to stay!!
Well there were no events to talk about last month, but we do have the Polar Bear scramble set for the 2nd and 3rd of February. Looking at the long range forecast, it appears as though we are in for some decent temperatures that weekend. Hope it’s correct!! Haha. I will post the results in next months newsletter for you all to see.
While on the subject of play at the course, I have a favor to ask all of you. When we have these 70 degree days in the middle of a cold snap, everybody has the same idea…to get out and play some golf. It would be a tremendous help if instead of just showing up and assuming you can walk right out and play, could you please call us at the golf shop and set up a tee time?? It helps us to have an idea of what to expect for the day, and it will help you by knowing what time you are scheduled for. When you simply show up it may take us 30 minutes or more to be able to find a slot for you to fit in. I hate to have you waiting for a long time when it can be taken care of with a phone call. Thanks very much for your help in this matter!!
Not much else to report on as of now. Lets hope for the warm temps to stay around for a while, and hope to see you all at your club very soon!!

Another Christmas has come and gone. Hope everyone had a great time and got all the toys you wanted. I know a few members who were probably on the naughty side of Santa’s list and they most likely missed out on the presents. Once again the weather has been nice and many of you have been able to get out and play a couple of rounds.
Thankfully, we have great news regarding the main well on the course. As you know, the motor had to be pulled and it was determined that it had burned up. The insurance people determined that it had been hit by lightning and are paying for the replacement except for the deductible. This is a big load off the club. We are still watering with the small well and due to the cooler weather, have been able to keep everything in pretty good shape.
The Christmas party was a great success and everyone seemed to have a real good time. Thanks to Teresa for the excellent meal and to Janice for all the planning.
Hope everyone can come down and play as the weather permits. Also start planning for the Stockholders meeting on January 21st. We need everyone to be there! Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!!

Well December 21st came and went and the end of the world was avoided once again!! Haha. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!!! With the cold weather and some snow even, there has not been a whole lot going on around your club. Play has been extremely slow this past month, and unfortunately we have not had the best of golf weather. But hopefully all that will change and we can get some play going on over here!!
As of this writing, the Polar Bear tournament is set for February 2nd and 3rd of 2013. Cant believe it’s already 2013, wow!! If you want to get yourself and your partner signed up for this, either stop by the golf shop or give us a ring and we will put you in. As always, play will be 2 person teams for this 2 day scramble. Hopefully we have lots of teams sign up for it this year!!
I will be extending my Christmas Sale pricing on merchandise through January. If there is something you need or want to get for someone please stop on by the shop. If I don’t have what you’re looking for, remember I can always order it up for you!! Lets all keep our fingers crossed for a great upcoming year here at the club. Come on by and play some golf once it warms up. Looking forward to seeing you all very soon!!

From the President
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. I know a lot of you were able to play some golf due to our great fall weather.
Regretfully, we have some bad news regarding the main well on the course. The motor had to be pulled and it was determined that it had burned up. We are still watering with the small well and due to the cooler weather, have been able to keep everything in pretty good shape. We are working with the insurance company now to see if there is anything they can do on the well. We’ll let you know as details come available. The course continues to be in good condition even though it has been stressed by the lack of rain.
We are still working to get the 40 acre land tract closed. It looks like we will close before the end of the year. We will let you know as soon as the transaction has been completed.
Hope everyone can join us for the Christmas Party scheduled for December 8th at 6:30 pm. This promises to be a great time of good food, fun and fellowship. Please note that everyone needs to bring a $5.00 scratch-off lottery card for exchange. Look forward to seeing you there.

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday!! The weather around then was very pleasant, hopefully we can keep some of those nice warm temperatures around for a while and you all can get some golfing in while its nice!!
Well it’s hard to believe that this year has flown by so fast, but Christmas is right around the corner. In fact, as of this writing it will be exactly 4 weeks from today. While we are on the subject of Christmas, I will be having a Christmas sale in the golf shop so stop on by and get some goodies while I have them on sale. All golf bags will be $35 off, all Men’s and Ladies clothing will be 25% off, there will be deals on most everything in the shop. However, these discounts will apply only to in stock items. If there is something you are in need of that I don’t currently have in stock, I can always get it ordered up for you. These prices will be available only to Canyon Country Club members. So if you come in the golf shop and don’t see any sale signs, it only means that I am not advertising those prices to the outside players. Hopefully you will see something you need for a nice present!!
There have been no tournament results to post and will not be until the Polar Bear tournament. In the meantime, come on out to your club and play some golf this fall!! Hope to see you all around the club very soon, and happy holidays!!

Hope this letter finds all our members having a great fall season. The weather this fall has been great and we have had a good turn-out for all our tournaments. I hope all of you have a chance to come out and play.
The course continues to be in good condition even though it has been stressed by the lack of rain, but Mikel and Javier are doing a great job of keeping it looking and playing great. I would like to extend a special THANKS to all who participated in the Pie Auction. I have been told that a total of $1,600 or so was raised for the ladies. They have very generously agreed to donate $1,500 of that to the fund to pay for our new sprayer. The sprayer has now been paid for without going into our general fund money. Thanks!!!!
Most of you are aware that we have been working hard to get the 40 acre land tract sold. We have run into several bumps as is usually the case in a land sale like this. It looks like we are getting very close to having this completed. We will let you know as soon as the transaction has been completed.
The Board of Directors has decided that we need to enforce the rule instituted several years ago that all our carts have two riders whenever possible. The pro-shop staff will be working hard to enforce this rule and we would appreciate your help in this effort. If a player wishes to ride alone when there are others in your group needing a cart, you will be charged for the full price of the cart. We are wearing our carts out by having one person on each cart when there are several players. Please help us enforce this rule whenever possible.
As of today, it looks like winter is about to start. Don’t let that keep you away from the club. We have several events planned like the Halloween Party and Christmas Party. Come on out and enjoy these times of good fellowship and it will help you get to know other members!

Hello members. As I sit here today and write this letter, it is about 40 degrees and the wind is blowing straight out of the north at about 25 mph. It looks as though winter may finally be arriving, unfortunately. I hope you all had a chance to get out and play a lot of golf this past year. We definitely had some great weather and the course was busier than ever. I’m sure that with Amarillo CC closing till late next year and one course under renovation at Ross Rogers, which had something to do with it. Although, I had many, many people say how much they liked our course, and how they planned to keep coming back. So hopefully that trend will continue into the future!!
Our last events of the year were played this month. Our backwards scramble was well received again. The winning team was that of Dan Luther, Rick Dabney, Joe Sanchez, Fernando Villalobos, and Gary Turner who shot a nice 63. Second place went to Garry Erdman, Regina Dinga, and Laurie and Ryan Hollingsworth who were just one back at 64.
The very next day we had our 19 man shootout. That was a close one and came down to a chip off on the last hole for Jerry Baker to edge out Roger Senter by about 6”. Doesn’t get much closer than that!! Danny Killough rounded out the top 3.
The Ryder Cup was, as it was last year, split into two groups, and with 28 players we had 14 per side. The winning team consisted of Javier Solis, Kim Davis, Jim and Trish Giacomazzi, Dan Luther, Deanna Sowers, Janice Price, Jimmy Jones, Roger Senter, Ronnie and Kay Reynolds, Marsha Kirk, Kyle Farmer, and fill-ins Craig Curlee, Garry Erdman, and Shelly Moore. Those players now have bragging right for one year. The final score was 9 points to 5. Thanks to all who participated in this fun annual event!!
Well with Christmas right around the corner, stop on by the pro shop and see if there are some presents you need. I will be running some Christmas sales in December, and as always if there is something you want or need and I don’t have it in stock, I can always get it ordered up for you. Usually takes about 2 weeks for any special orders. Please let me know if I can help you in any way!!
Hope to see you all around the club real soon!!

Well the summer rush came to an abrupt end when school started up again. It is very slow on the weekdays right now, so if you have the chance, come and take advantage of the limited course use. You can play a round at lightning pace right at the moment!! Hopefully we will still have our busy weekends and the club will get some revenue from the outside play.
Last weekend we held the Men’s Senior Partnership tournament. As usual, the course was in great condition, and we had 31 teams entered (almost double last year’s total). Seems that people are enjoying coming out for tournaments here!!! Our own members did very well in this one. Here’s how some of our own members fared:
Championship Flight:
1st Lynn Johnston and Don Cofer
First Flight:
2nd Travis Loe and Clarence Vaughn
Second Flight:
1st Rick Dabney and Stan Price
2nd Cleve Gustin and Craig Curlee
3rd Dick Arche and Roger Senter
Third Flight:
1st Charlie McClure and Ronnie Reynolds
3rd Pete Clay and Red Higginbotham
Thanks to all for your participation and congratulations on your outstanding play!!! We still have some tournaments coming up for you to play in before it gets too cold!! On October 6th and 7th we will have the Ryder Cup. Please call and put your name in for this one, this is a very fun event to play in!! The following week on the 13th we have the 2nd annual backwards tournament. Very very fun format and quite a strange way to play your course!! Haha. The last event of the year is the very next day on the 14th, and that is the 19 man shootout. Sign-ups for all these events are currently being taken in the pro shop. Call or stop by and reserve your spot in one or all of these events!!
As usual, if there is anything you would like to have from the golf shop but we don’t have it in stock for you, please let us know and most likely we can get it ordered up for you. Usually special orders take no more than 2 weeks, and our prices in the shop are better than you will find pretty much everywhere. So stop on by and get yourself something nice!!

Spetember 2012
From the President
Well, what a great summer we had at Canyon Country Club. The kids are all getting back in school, families are settling back into routine and fine fall weather will be coming in soon. The fall is always a great time to enjoy the golf course. Hope you all can come on out and play.
We had a great turn-out for the Club Championship tournament and I think everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Dan Luther who won the Championship Flight, Roger Senter, winner of the 2nd Flight, Red Higginbotham won the 3rd Flight and Robin Myers, who won the 4th Flight. In the Women’s division, Kelli Mooring won the Championship and Trish Giocamazzi won the net side. If you have never played in the shoot-out during the Championship weekend you have missed a great time. The Shoot-out was won by the team of Dan Luther (what a shot on #6) Deanna Sowers, Clarence Vaughn and Josh Neese. The course continues to be stressed by the lack of rain, but Mikel and Javier are doing a great job of keeping it looking and playing great. All of the dead trees, with the exception of those in the creeks, have been cut down. Johnny Vaughn did a good job of getting them down and has left some of the cut wood on the course if you would like to have some firewood. Contact Mikel or Clarence if you would like to pick some up. We will try to get more of the dead trees out of the creek area this winter.
Our chemical sprayer finally gave out on us last month and the board voted to replace it with a used sprayer that had been traded in to Toro. This was the best deal we could find and I think it will last us a long time.

Well it’s almost September already. This year has flown by!! The course has been extremely busy this summer with outside play, tournaments, and new members. It is nice to see all of the participation by members in tournaments this year!!! The Friday night scrambles are coming to a close here shortly, so if you want to play in any please call the golf shop and get signed up. The Super Scramble is scheduled for Sunday, September 16th at 2:00 shotgun. That means that the last scramble will be Friday the 14th. The Club Championship is happening this weekend, we have a nice turnout for this event. Thanks to all who have signed up and are supporting this event.
The Ladies held their annual Chaparral tournament on the 18th and 19th of August. There was a good turnout for this event with 24 teams playing. That was one team better than last years event!! Many of the club members played well and even won some money. Way to go Ladies!!!
There are a few events remaining this year to play in: On September 8th and 9th, we have the Robert C. Burton Memorial 3 Man Scramble tournament. This one usually attracts a good crowd, which means a better payout. If you want to sign up a team please call the golf shop and we will get you taken care of. Also in September is the 2 Man Senior Partnership on the 22nd and 23rd. Again sign up in the pro shop.
The pro shops very own Billy Pope had his first hole in one this month. He made it on hole #14 using a pitching wedge. The shot was witnessed by Garry Erdman and Craig Curlee. Excellent job Billy. I have been playing this game longer than you have been alive and you have more holes in one than I do!! Haha.
As always, please come by the pro shop and see if there is anything you can’t live without. And if you don’t see what you want, we can always order it for you!! Look forward to seeing you all out at the club very soon!!

July 2012 Newsletter
From the President
Hope this finds everyone enjoying the warm summer weather as much as I do. I would like to start out this month’s letter by thanking some of the members who have been a big help in getting our course in such great shape. Even with the hot dry weather the course is looking and playing great. As you have noticed, we are in the process of cutting down the dead elm trees and having them hauled off. Johnny Vaughn has been hired to do this work and has been working hard to finish up. We are trying to get the dead trees on the course first and will try to get more in the creek area this winter. We have had several donations to help with this. Thanks to Red Higginbotham and Sue Herring for their help in this effort. Thanks to Clarence Vaughn for donating the skid loader and trailer for use in the clean-up and haul-off of the dead material.
The board has received complaints regarding the use of foul language around the club. I apologize to anyone who has been offended by this and would like to ask all members to remember that CCC is a family oriented club and we have many children around the club. Please refrain from use of bad language in any area of the club.
The washed out areas on Number 3 and 9 have been tilled, leveled and hydromulched. The grass is coming in very well and starting to look great! We would ask that you continue to avoid these areas while the grass gets started. We want to give a special THANK YOU to Jimmy Jones for a large donation to get this work done.
Some members have been going to the employees to complain about things they do not like regarding the operation and maintenance of the club, bar and golf course. Please remember that you need to speak to the board member in charge of the area of your complaint and they will get with the employees. Our employees are doing a good job and it is hard when they have too many bosses telling them what they need to do. Please contact a board member or me when you have a problem. We may have an answer or we will try to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Come on out and enjoy the pool, golf course, bar and restaurant!!! See you there!! Travis
