Welcome to August! We are now one month closer to fall weather. I
am going to start with a bit of humor and reality that most of us can
relate to. I recently saw a cartoon showing a comparison at a large golf
expo with 2 booths with signs overhead of each. The first booth said
new high-tech drivers for sale at $599. The second booth right next to it
said golf lessons available now at half price. Guess what, a very long
line to get the new fancy driver but not a sole in line to learn how to
properly swing that driver! A great example of getting the cart ahead of
the horse I would say. My point is simple, go to one of our golf staff
members for a couple lessons and sign up for the monthly clinics that
are available. Whether you play one day a week or every day, why not
give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We have
one important milestone to report on as Dick Ross bettered his age by
one stroke, congratulations Dick. As your board of directors have
stated a few times July means looking at current tee box selections to
see if anyone qualifies to move up to a shorter tee. This has been done
and yes, we did have a couple of changes that the golf shop is now
aware of. We are now sitting at 173 CHMGA members. As of 6/30 here
are the top point leaders for the Chandler Cup. David Metzger has 163,
Jeffry Holmes has 160, Ken Zweiback has 155, and Pat Mezyk has 154.
Also, do not forget to join the hole in one club. There have been 2 in
the last 3 weeks outside of our Tuesday games so as the saying goes,
anything can happen. Just go in golf shop and sign in for $5.00, we are
at 67 members currently. Let us now look at some past winners.
