President's Message - August 2018
Hi Ladies-
It's August and the summer weather is here with a vengeance.
As a former employee of a multi-national oil company, I've been through a lot of safety training in my life (I still won't walk down stairs without holding the handrail) so I'd like to mention a few things that we all need to remember.
First, it's hot out, so stay well hydrated and maybe use a wet towel to cool off. If you feel dizzy or faint, go inside and cool off. It's not worth trying to finish those last few holes. And driving around fast in your golf cart might generate a nice, cooling breeze, but riding in a golf cart might be the least safe thing we do each day (unless you zip around on your bike without a helmet). So, keep your hands and feet inside the cart, be careful backing up, only operate the cart from the driver's side and slow down for turns so you don't eject your passenger. And then there's the rattlesnakes. They have really good camouflage and I'm sure one would see me before I saw it, so think about how badly you need that golf ball before you go tramping through the arroyo to find it. In case of a rattlesnake incident, call 911 immediately.
OK, on to more fun topics...We had our first annual Ryder cup event against the ladies from Mountain View/Preserve and we had a great turnout for both rounds. We played team match play with different formats on each nine holes.
I think everyone had fun and this was a great warm up for the Catalina Cup matches which start in November. Sadly, Mountain View has the bragging rights until next year.
We'll be having an all-member meeting on September 18 after golf. I'll have an agenda closer to that date, but one of the things we'll be discussing is the Nominating Committee for next year. This Committee prepares the slate of candidates for the Board positions for 2019. We will need to elect 2 members to be on this committee.
See the By Laws on our web site for more information. If you're interested in serving on this committee, please let me know.
Upcoming events:
Hot August Team Event on August 15 and 16 (registration is closed)
Sadie Hawkins on September 11 -- more information coming soon
Potty Party -- date TBD -- to celebrate the opening of the new restrooms on hole #15
Our Sponsor of the month is W&W Physical Therapy located in Saddlebrooke. They kindly sponsor our range balls that we can warm up with before each play day. Remember that the range balls are just for warming up, not for working out all the problems with your swing, so be sure to leave some for others to use.
Happy golfing.
Jean
