President’s Message August 2020
I’m a little early with this month’s Message but I have a lot to share and just couldn’t wait
Your Board of Directors has been very busy trying to adapt to our “new normal” and make the best of the COVID-19 situation that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
We hope you’ll be pleased with what we’ve been able to come up with.
We will resume Closest to the Pin next Tuesday, July 28. YAY!!! With the help of Mike and Chris, we’ve come up with a safe way to implement CTP. It’s a bit different, so please see details below. This is a trial. We may have to make changes if too many, or not enough people win. Please remember to thank Pilar Borm when you see her. Her travel agency, Born to Travel sponsors this and she’s been understanding about not getting recognition for the past several months.
On the designated holes, there will be a 10-foot circle (5-foot radius) in chalk on the green.
If your ball lands inside or touching the circle, you are a winner! Please mark CTP, hole # and your name on your scorecard.
Payout is $20 for each hole. This will be split between those within or on the circle.
Payout will be applied to your Pro Shop credit book for a no touch transaction.
When your group emails your scorecard to the League Day Coordinator, and you have a CTP winner in the group, please cc Nancy Hugus at nancyhugus@gmail.com.
Reminder: If someone has a Chip In, also notate that on the card and cc Barb Simms.
Start time for League Day tee times will be moved to 7:30 am beginning August 4.
It’s been really hot and it will continue for the next couple months. Mike has agreed to let us start a bit earlier to beat the heat for the rest of the summer.
If you definitely DO NOT want an early tee time, we will try to accommodate you as much as possible. Just let Melanie know. We can’t guarantee it every time, but they will do their best.
Club Championship has been re-scheduled for September 14 & 15.
The Board felt we should have the tournament even though we can’t celebrate with a luncheon and we won’t have a shotgun.
The course should be in its best condition at that time. They don’t typically begin prep for overseed (September 28) until 7-10 days prior. There will still likely be areas under repair and #10 may still be a par 3 but everyone will be playing under the same conditions.
Just a reminder, we also have a Sr. Club Champion. Everyone 70 years and better is eligible and there is nothing you need to do. After the two Champions are selected, there will be payouts by flight. Everyone has a chance to win something! Please plan to join the team in this important event. Accolades will be via email. Photos and an article will be in the Roundup.
Sadie Hawkins has been cancelled for this year.
Due to the social nature of this tournament, the Board unanimously felt the purpose was lost since we cannot have a gathering and luncheon.
Save the Date—August 11
We are planning a FUN tournament day on August 11. Theme and details to follow.
The purpose of this added tournament is to provide exposure for the Sponsors that were assigned to Mixed Sticks and Sadie Hawkins. We want to thank Coyote Golf Cars and Dr. Patrick Shaeffer Dental for their support.
More good things are happening too. Jean Cheszek has scanned all of the old Roundup articles we had and Terri has put them on our website. A huge thanks to both for this time-consuming project! Check it out! It’s really fun to look at our history.
During the week the course was closed in July, my husband and I provided Gatorade and snacks for the Golf Maintenance Crew on behalf of the MGA and WGA. It was really hot and they were working long hours. They were very appreciative when we dropped off the goodies. Due to COVID, we didn’t ask for baked goods and didn’t stay to talk.
The monsoon season seems to have finally arrived. Use your own judgment in staying safe. If you feel threatened by lightening, please leave the course. If it is a team game, a blind draw will be used in your place for the team.
Lots of new things happening in efforts to regain some sort of normal. Hope to see you on the course.
Stay well, stay safe.
