Happy New Year!!!!
Fall weather was pretty nice for a few weeks, and then it bottomed out to become winter. Its been cold long enough, and now that 2011 is here we are looking forward to warmer weather and seeing all of you.
We are planning some exciting outings, events and course upgrades that will make your season with us enjoyable. We hope you will participate in many of them, and bring your friends.
We are beginning to make plans to construct a new tee box on hole 4, and we are moving the ladies tee on #5. Hopefully, we will trim the tree on #13 so the par 3 is not a dogleg. Weve also upgraded equipment to better maintain the course. If all goes well we will again be able to spray for weeds. The process is slow, but each year you should notice an improvement.
We do not have any new tee markers this year, but is ay business, group or individual is interested in purchasing one please contact us. They are a welcome addition to the course.
Scotch Ball Tournaments were a great success last year. We had over a dozen couples each time and fun was had by all. We are looking forward to having 4 or 5 this year. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Scotch ball, it is played in teams of two; a man and woman. Both drive their tee shot on each hole, then choose the shot they will play. Then they alternate shots until holing out. We use a handicap system that allows every team to have a chance to win. There are lots of prizes and fun!

It runs for 6 weeks and ends with a tournament.
