From the President
Greetings: What a year it was in 2011. Dry weather, heat, bad economy, fewer rounds played. Lets hope 2012 will make a big comeback. We want to think those who served on the board and are now off. Dick Archer, Roger Senter, Rick Dabney, Russell Ashley. A lot was accomplished even though money was extremely tight. We want to welcome new members to the board: Travis Loe, Clarence Vaughn, and Charlie McClure. They will do a great job. What a place to be a member of. We have great people that well support our club and pitch in when the going gets tough. Thank all of you who support our club. New members bring new ideas. We look forward to seeing what all we can accomplish this year. The course is in great shape for the winter months and hopefully we can have some warm weather and keep playing through the winter months. Mikel and Javier have been repairing water leaks and other things and they are getting the course in good shape for spring play. Tournament play will be posted on the web site shortly and you can see what all is in store for this year. Land sells is looking good and hopefully in the next few months we will begin to see some building activity. New homes mean new members. Hope every one has a great and safe new year. Bring your friends down, talk up our club to everyone you know and remember: Keep playing and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Well 2012 is officially here. As of this writing we have not yet had the polar bear tournament to start off the new year, but I will have results posted in next month’s newsletter. The weather is starting to cooperate and we are actually getting some play in this January, which is great when you compare it to December.
Remember that coming up in February we will have the Mikel’s revenge/beat the pro tournament. Although we may have to change the name this year to Tim’s revenge after the beating you all administered to me and Mikel last year!! That event will be coming up on Saturday, February 25th. Format is a two person scramble, you and your partner, against the score that Mikel and I post with our scramble game. You will of course receive a handicap, but just how much is yet to be determined. It’s safe to say that it will not be the same as last years!! Ha Ha.
Also new this February we will be running the Sweetheart Scramble. This will be a one day event, held on Saturday, February 11th, to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day. Format is a 2 person scramble, and teams must be made up of one man and one woman. Entry fee is yet to be determined for this event.
Remember that if you want to sign up for any event, please give us a call in the golf shop so that we can get you on the entry list!! And while we are on that subject, the sooner the better!!
Here is your tip for this month from the pro: When you are playing into the wind, remember to take a club or two extra and don’t take a full swing. Swing at about 75 percent. If you take your normal club for the shot and simply swing hard, one of two things will happen. Either your ball will come up short because it will balloon up into the wind, or the added spin you put on the ball will take the ball backwards straight off the green. So if you are at your normal 9 iron distance, for instance, pull your 8 or even 7 iron and swing easier than normal. Your ball will fly lower and with less spin. Try this and I think you will be surprised at how much better you play in the wind!!
Remember that we can special order products for you in the pro shop if we don’t carry something you want. Also remember that as members, you get 10% off anything except balls and gloves. I should have some new products arriving about the middle of February, so stop on by and see if you can find anything you can’t live without!!

December 2011 Newsletter
From the President
Finally, the long standing water leak that was on No. 3 fareway has been repaired. Also along with a few other leaks. Thanks to Mikel and Javier for making the repairs. Also, it looks like the restrooms on the course are working – don’t know for how long but hopefully a long time. With the high winds, we have a lot of tree branches that are down – try not to run over any of these with the golf carts, we are in the process of getting them cleaned up. Overall, the course looks in good shape as we go into winter.
The new windows in the pro shop appear to be working excellent which should help out with the heating bills this winter. All we need now is some moisture in the ground.
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here and before you know it, Christmas will be here. Which, by the way, if you are wondering what to get some one for Christmas, how about a membership to CCC or maybe something from the pro shop. We are still in desperate need for more members. This would be an excellent way to increase our membership. Tim has a lot of new goodies in the pro shop so come check it out.
Winter time is a good time to check out your equipment, clean your clubs, inventory your golf balls, change the cleats on your shoes, maybe buy a new cap. What ever you need, Tim has it or can get it for you. Hopefully we will have a mild winter and we can play all winter long. ( well, wishing doesn’t hurt anything).
We wish you a happy Thanksgiving and if you are traveling, be safe, check your vehicle over before leaving and drive carefully. Also, if you have guess coming to your house, invite them down to play a round of golf (weather permitting).
Keep up the play and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Greetings from the Pro Shop!! Well we don’t have any tournament results to talk about for the month of November. Hopefully you all had a great Thanksgiving day, and hopefully your Christmas is just as good!!
We will be running some December specials in the shop. I have a supply of Pro V1 balls in the shop at the special price of just $40 per dozen, they are normally $48 per dozen. I only have a limited supply (about 42 dozen), and when those are gone they will go back to their normal price. I have received some Men’s and Ladies jackets recently, so come by and check those out. I will also have deals on all merchandise in the shop. And remember, if there is something special you are looking for that we don’t have in stock, it can always be special ordered. I have already done a few of these type orders. The sooner you order, the better chance you have of making sure it is here in time for the holidays!!
Please remember that we are open 7 days a week, and even though there are some days where it is not very fun to play, there are plenty of nice days to go along with them. So come on out and enjoy your golf course and take a break from the hectic holiday season!! We look forward to a great holiday season and new year, and from all of us in the golf shop, Happy Holidays!!

November 2011 Newsletter
From the President
Greetings:
We had a great turn out for the fund raiser scramble. The course was played backwards which was a lot of fun. Hopefully we can make this one an annual event. The funds raised were to help with the cost of getting the course restrooms repaired or replaced. We are currently in the process of trying to get them working by injecting chemicals into the system. After a few more weeks, we will then try to rod out the leach lines and if this doesn’t work then we will have to determine the best route for our money if we repair or replace the restrooms.
Winter is knocking at the door. One good thing is that we are not having to water quite as much so this should help with our water bill. The course is still in excellent shape for this time of year. Just because summer is over, that doesn’t mean you can’t still get out and play the course. Please repair any divots on the course while you are out there.
For you camera buffs, the trees are turning colors and the wildlife is beginning to show up so now is a good time to get some great photos.
Thanks to all of you who showed up at the Special Stockholders meeting. We had a good turnout. Some good decisions were made and some were put on hold till the annual stockholders meeting. The club will be setting in good shape for financial growth providing we have no major expenses. Hopefully we will have a mild winter and we can get a lot of play on the course.
Our weakest area is membership. Our membership is way down so if you know someone who is looking for a good place to play golf, tell them about our club. We need your help to bring in new members. Thanks again to all who contribute beyond the call of duty to the club. This is what makes Canyon Country Club one of the best kept secrets in the Panhandle.
Halloween is right around the corner so watch out for the little ones who might be trick or treating. Be safe during the fall festivals and remember to get those handicaps down.
Ladies Auxiliary
Congradulations to Tuffy for winning the Ladies Auxiliary's $500 Visa shopping card. The card was given away after the Ryder Club, October 2nd. Proceeds will benefit the Canyon Country Club Ladies Auxiliary.
Ladies High Plains Golf Association
Five (5) Canyon Country Club ladies ( Marsha Kirk, Wilma Higginbotham, Sally Tucker, Debbie Land, and Kay Reynolds) traveled to Clovis 12th to play in the last High Plains Ladies Golf Association Playday of the year. Kay won low gross for 2nd flight with a score of 81. Next year's play will begin in April of 2012. Membership dues is $15.00 and $35.00 each time we play. The $35.00 covers the cart, green fees, and a lunch on the days of play. Any lady interested in playing next year, please call Kay Reynolds at 499-3310.
Women's Working Wednesday Play
Women's Working Wednesday play is officially over for the year, but a few ladies are still playing, and will continue to play as long as the sun allows.
From the Golf Shop
Well October is coming to an end and we have exhausted our tournaments for the year. Thanks for all of your participation in the events we hold! October saw the Ryder Cup, the Senior Partnership, the Men’s Shootout, and the Fundraiser Backwards Scramble. We had great attendance for all of these events.
The Ryder Cup was a different format from years past, and we seemed to have a positive response to the team efforts versus the individual format. The Shootout was won by Red Higginbotham, second place went to Scott Hetzler, and Brito Valdez rounded out the top three. The senior partnership Championship Flight was won by Johnny Guelker and Jeff Yarborough. First flight winners were Brian Kauffman and Dale Moon, and the Second Flight went to Carlos Mendez and Armondo Torres. The team of Clarence Vaughn, Johnny Vaughn, Trish Giacomazzi, and Zeb Read lapped the field in the backwards scramble. They shot a 56 to beat out the second place team by 6 shots. Way to go guys!! Trish also won the closest to the pin prize of a new golf bag!! Quite a showing on what was a pretty difficult course.
As the summer is winding down and the cold weather slowly creeps in, I am expecting some new fall weather clothing to be coming in shortly. I just today had some Nike shoes show up in both Men’s and Women’s styles. Stop by and take a peek at the new stuff!! Hopefully you can take care of some of your Christmas shopping here. I will be having a Christmas sale during the month of December, so stop on by and get a deal or two!! Remember if there is something you want and I don’t have it in the pro shop, I can always order it in for you. This is also a great time to get your clubs re-gripped for the upcoming year. Drop by and have it done while you are taking a little bit of a break from golf during the cold spell.
With the end of tournament play, you don’t have to worry about showing up to play, only to find out we have an event and the course is unavailable. So come on down here and enjoy some of the cooler temperatures we will be having over the next few months. Hope to see you all out on the course real soon!!

September 2011
From the President
Greetings:
Summer is starting to wind down but there are still a lot of good days for golf. The course is still in excellent shape even due to the high temperatures and dry conditions we have had.
We still have quite a few tournaments scheduled in September so play in as many as you can. We would like to welcome Mark Sowers as our new tournament director. If you have questions or suggestions about the tournaments, please talk with Mark. He will do a great job.
We have added several new members to the club this summer. Hope you have had the chance to meet some of them. The Friday night scrambles have been a great place to meet them. We welcome the following people to the club: New Members for 2011
Johnny and Jeanette Vaughn
Cody & Mandy Parks
Joe Hughes
Zeb Read
Dustin Lanham
Brad Flatt
Mark Sankovich
Josh Neese
Jackie Urbanzcyk
Stuart Brewer
Jared Peddy
Matt Bellah
Ben Cox
Daniel Kinser
Blake Cartrite
Mark Fritts
Rick Palmer
Jerry Baker
Jack Willburn
We are still in need of about twice this many more golfers. If you know of anyone who would like to join, please invite them to try our course.
We are still having some issues with the restrooms on the course. Please be patient with us till we get this resolved.
Due to the huge amount of bills we have had the past couple of months we are needing to cut corners to make up the difference. The board has sat down and gone through line items to try to see what all we could cut or reduce. If you have any suggestions on where we could cut, please tell one of the board members. We tried cutting the watering back to every other day instead of everyday but the drought is trying to keep us from this so we had to go back to more watering again. It takes a lot of electricity and money to pump water to the course. It seems like every time we turnaround something breaks. The swimming pool will be closed after Labor day so this is one way to cut back. Tim has been trying to find ways to get more golfers playing and ways to cut expenses. You may see a few changes in this area such as adding more tee times, running specials, etc.
I want to thank the staff and board for all the hard work they have put in this summer. Our board has been doing a lot of brain storming and asking a lot of questions. We have a great board of directors and they have a tremendous love for this club. Please give them a big pat on the back when you see them
Remember to keep playing and get those handicaps down.
From the Pro Shop
Well we had another hole in one this month at the club. This time it was Dale Pulliam on August 9th. On hole #5, Dale used his trusty 9 wood to score the first ace in his long golfing career. Ron Hiner and Dave Ritter were along to witness his perfect shot. Way to go Dale!! I know it’s hard to believe, but Clarence Vaughn was NOT in the group this time!! Ha Ha.
The Ladies Chaparral went off on the 20th and 21st with 23 teams participating. The Championship Flight was won by Terri Buccola and Connie Crossland, with Kelli Mooring and Cindy Guelker coming in a very close second place. First Flight taken by Ronda Jennings and Jennifer Wilkerson, and Susan Baltz and Kathy Gowdy took second place. The Second Flight was won by Jill Remy and Tami Pugh, while Kim Lackey and Deanna Sowers came in second. Thanks to all the ladies for playing, and to the entire ladies auxiliary for helping me with all the logistics of my first Chaparral!! You made it a lot smoother for me than it could have been, with all your guidance and input, and I truly do thank you for that!!
Please remember that if you would like to come out and play some golf, as a club member you can sign up for tee times up to two weeks in advance. Non-members can only sign up a day in advance, barring special circumstances such as tournaments. So call and get your prime time reserved early!! And while on the subject, it is a great idea to call and get yourself a tee time before you show up and find out we are busy. We have gone from 10 minute time blocks to 8 minutes to try and accommodate more play on the course, so please be sure that you are here early enough to be on the tee at your assigned time. Showing up late for your time may result in a long wait, and that’s no fun for anyone!!
As always, please see me in the golf shop for all your golfing needs. I am still getting things in to replace my now low inventory due to all our events, so if there is something you would like to see in the shop, PLEASE let me know. I value the input of you all, and want to help you anyway possible. And if you are struggling with your game, come see me for a lesson. I am available 6 days a week to help you (I’m off on Monday’s). Hope to see you all around the club very soon!!

We finally got some of the pot holes repaired. Hopefully it won’t be so bumpy driving down the road. We extended the berm on the south side of the parking lot to allow water to run past the door to the club house on the south side. That is, if it ever rains, maybe the water will not run into the ladies restroom now.New windows for the pro shop have been ordered and should be here shortly.
Since we started advertising, we have 14 new members. WE ARE GLAD YOU CHOSE CANYON COUNTRY CLUB AS YOUR GOLF COURSE! It was good to see some of these folks playing in the Friday night scrambles. Meet them and get to know them. I will try to get a list out in the next letter to let you know who they are. Hopefully we will have 14 more by next month.
Considering how dry and hot it has been, the course is in excellent shape. The greens are beautiful and the new sod has started growing and the fairways are beginning to take shape. I don’t know of any golf course in the Panhandle that is as good of shape as we are. THANKS to Mikel and his crew for doing an excellent job making our course the best in the Texas Panhandle. Keep praying for rain.
Some of the golf carts are beginning to show a little ware. If you are using a cart that needs some attention such as brakes being a little soft or something that just doesn’t seem right, please give Tim the number of the cart when you get through playing so we can get it fixed. Over all, the carts are in good shape. Remember the 90 deg rule and try not to drive through puddles of water or where there is no grass.
Golf play has increased quite a bit so please be patient if the play slows down some. There are going to be days when play is slow and days when it’s not slow. Be patient with the folks playing ahead of you and be courteous. If you are slow playing, please let the folks behind you play through. It’s very hard to maintain a constant flow.
The swimming pool is getting a lot of use. The lifeguards are doing an excellent job. Give them a pat on the back.
We have several advertising spots open on the tee markers. If you or if you know someone who would like to advertise on one of these, please contact one of the board members or Tim or Courtney and we will get them fixed up. The cost is $1,000 for 3 years.
Remember to get involved with the remaining tournaments, check the web site schedule for these, and play in the scrambles so you can meet and play with some of the new members. Play more, get your handicaps down and we’ll see ya on the course!
From the Pro Shop
Well it has been a busy month here at the club. During this past month we have had the Roadrunner, the Texas junior tour, the Pro-Am, member scrambles, a reunion, wow!! Lots of things to mention. First of all, the golf shop staff would like to send out a big thank you to the ladies auxiliary group who paid for a much needed, new air conditioner in the golf shop. During this heat wave the days were getting to be unbearable in the shop. The temperature inside the pro shop was routinely in the mid 90’s. The new a/c unit has eliminated that and it is now a very pleasant working atmosphere. Once we get the new windows in (which should be very soon), things will be just excellent in the shop. Again, thank you ladies!!
Due to all the events, I am getting picked over pretty good in the shop. New things are on order and should be arriving shortly. As I have mentioned before, if you have any need for new clubs or a new putter or new wedges, etc. etc., please check with me in the shop. I can most likely beat any deal you can find elsewhere!!
The ladies are having their Hi-Plains Ladies golf day on Wednesday, August 3rd. It will be a 9:00 shotgun start, so the course will be closed until 2:30 or 3:00 that day, so make your plans accordingly. The Ladies Chaparral has been moved to the 20th and 21st of August. The Super Scramble year end scramble tournament will be held on Sunday, August 28th starting at 1:00 Shotgun.
We are getting many new members here at the club, please say hello to the new folks and make them feel welcome!! Hope everybody is having a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you around the club!!
Tim Davis, Golf Professional
Ladies Chaparral
The Ladies Chaparral will be held the weekend of August 20th & 21st. The format will be a partnership with scramble on one day and low ball the second day. There will be a meal served on both days. If you or someone you know would be interested in playing then please call the golf shop to enter.
Super Scramble
The last member scramble will be held on Sunday, August 28th. This is a 1:00 shotgun start. Call the pro shop to enter or if you have any questions.
From the Pool
We would like to thank everyone for a great summer out here at Canyon Country Club. Also, thank you to all of the lifeguards for their hard work this summer: Jayla Lackey, Brandi Ellison, Kristin Canida, Megan Godfrey, and Austin Hamil. The last day the pool will be open this year is August 21st, and it will close at 4:00 p.m. Last but not least, a very special thank you goes out to David and Rhonda Stephenson for taking over the pool this year. We hope everyone had a great summer at the pool, and hopefully we will see you again next summer!

July 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Hot, Hot, Hot. When will it end! Be sure to drink lots of water while out on the course. Pray for rain!
We had a great Doubles Couples Tournament. Some of the visiting players had some good comments about our club. They turned down the Tall Tower Open to play in our tournament, they said the course was in great shape, they liked the challenge of the course, the people were friendly and over all they had a great time.
We are very fortunate to have people who donate their money and time. Thank you to everyone who makes this club a great family type atmosphere. I don’t want to mention names because I would probably leave someone out. There are folks who do things that you never hear about. There is money donated from folks that you never hear about and this makes a special place to be a part of. Some of the things donated are: All of the sod you have seen lately has been donated. Plumbing repairs have been donated, equipment use has been donated, cart repairs and tire replacements have been donated, manual labor has been donated and many other things behind the scene that you do not see.
The women’s auxiliary has been great at fixing up and adding things that make the club a nice place to come. THANK YOU for your support!
With out all of the extras that are put into this club we would have a hard time keeping our heads above water. This also makes a good impression to those who wish to join our club.
We have had good comments on the swimming pool and the life guards. Way to go yall!
Attitudes are also important to a great club. Please give those who have helped a pat on the back and tell them how much we really appreciate their efforts. Keep positive to those who are visiting and looking for a club to join. Encourage them to come back and be a part of our family. Leave the negative things at home.
We finally got some insulation put in the pro shop. It was getting a little too warm to work in there. We are still in the process of getting bids to replace the windows in the pro shop and should have all the bids in sometime next week.
The adds and membership drive to run on KVII slipped a couple of weeks but should be up and running any day now so watch KVII for our adds. We need to up our membership so if you know any one looking for a good golf course to join, tell them about Canyon Country Club.
Watch the web site for updates and schedules.canyontxcountryclub.com
THANK YOU once again for all your do. Keep playing and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Well things here are on a roll. We have been very busy lately, which is a good thing. The Double Couples turnout was very good. We ended up with 18 teams (foursomes) which was nice considering the weather we had that weekend. Teams from CCC fared very well. There were 3 flights of 6 teams each, and 3 teams in each flight made money, so 50% of the participants got paid!! Results were as follows:
Championship Flight:
1st Chris & Whitney Purcell and Vic Giroux and Kris Reed -18
2nd Nate & Chrystal Seemann and R.L. and Heather Pond -18 (lost scorecard playoff)
3rd Jerry and Debbie Neufeld and James Josserand & Emily Neufeld -15
First Flight:
1st Garry Erdman & Claudia McCaslin and Clarence Vaughn & Francis Ruiz -14
2nd Roger Senter & Amy Johnson and Danny Killough & Marsha Kirk -13

Second Flight:

2nd Kenny & Roxanne Steward and Rod & Marsha Johnson -2
3rd Larry Maxwell & Denise Salzbrenner and Leonard Neusch & Debra Kincaid -1
We appreciate all the participants who stuck it out and played in the crazy heat, and congrats to all the winners!!!
Also in June was the 2 Man Best Ball Championship, again with 18 teams. Results as follows:
1st Gross Jim Giacomazzi and Don Cofer -6
2nd Gross Rudy Ibarra and Eric Moya -5
3rd Gross Chad Pernell and Ty Stovall -4

Bring your handicap if you plan on playing in this tournament next year!! Ha Ha!!
Remember that we try and stock the pro shop based on the feedback we get from you, the members, so if you don’t see your favorite brand in there, let us know so we can get it for you. Also check my prices against what you can find in town, my bet is that I can beat their prices handily!! The Roadrunner is scheduled for July 8,9, and 10, and the Pro-Am will be on July 25th; Friday nights are member scramble nights, so come on out and enjoy your club!!

June 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Greetings:
I don’t know about yall, but I’m ready for the wind to go somewhere else. Also, some rain would really be nice. Considering that, the course looks great but takes a lot of water to keep it going. The #4 and #9 sand traps are filled in and sodded. This is still ground under repair if you land in it. Thanks to Mikel and crew for fixing this. The wind has also blown a lot of large tree branches down and it will take some time to remove all of these, so be careful when driving underneath some of the old trees.
Talk about golfers, there have been 3 holes-in-one that I’m aware of lately; Johnny Vaughn, Dick Archer and Mark Sowers all had one’s recently. The Member’s Scrambles have been a lot of fun (except for the wind), and there are lots of new people playing our course.
We will be introducing a membership drive and ad campaign in association with KVII TV real soon. We will be targeting people who are age 35 years and younger. This does not mean that some one older can’t join; we want everyone to join up. The program kicks off in a couple of weeks so start watching KVII TV news & sports around the first of June. KVII is also helping us with our face book page so it should be up and running soon. Keep an eye on our web site (canyontxcountryclub.com) for up-dates and schedules.
Our work day was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who helped out. The pool was painted in about 1 ½ hours due to the amount of workers and it looks great! Our lifeguards came out and helped paint the pool, which will open on Memorial Day weekend. We still have several pool memberships available. The creek by the pond has been cleaned out and looks great. A lot of trash was picked up also, so when you see a can, paper, etc., pick it up and put it in the trash can. Thanks again to all of those who helped out – we couldn’t have done it with out you.
Several tournaments are coming up so check your schedule and get involved in as many as you can.
Pray for rain and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Well things are starting to get into full swing around here. The Friday night scrambles are a huge hit, and we have had great participation in them so far. For those who have not played yet, please make some time and come join us. They are a lot of fun!! Just remember to call or stop by the pro shop to register before 4:00 the day of the event.
We have had another hole in one here at the club. This time it was Mark Sowers holing out his trusty 7 iron on hole #14 in front of his wife, Deanna, and friends Lynn and Holly Johnston. Way to go Mark!!! I guess it is possible to have a hole in one around here even if Clarence Vaughn is not in the group!! Ha.
The pro shop would like to take a moment to congratulate longtime shop assistant Billy Pope on his upcoming marriage to his fiancé Jesse on May the 28th. The next time many of you see Billy he will be a married man. Congratulations, Billy, we wish you a long and happy marriage!!! And while on that note, the golf shop welcomes Austin Hamil as Billy’s replacement in the pro shop. Many of you probably know Austin as he has worked at the club for the last couple of years as one of the lifeguards. Say hello to Austin the next time you come by.
The Bucks and Does couples scramble was held on the 21st and 22nd of May. We had a very nice turnout with 36 teams signing up. We ended up with 4 separate flights, based on handicaps, with the results as follows:
Championship Flight
1st Place: Johnny and Cindy Guelker 64 – 59
2nd Place: Mike Self and Catherine Musser 63 – 64
First Flight:
1st Place: Laurie and Ryan Hollingsworth 67 – 68
2nd Place: Dan Luther and Susan Baltz 71 – 70
Second Flight:
1st Place: Russell Ashley and Alicia Walden 71 – 67
2nd Place: Stan and Janice Price 70 – 70
Third Flight:
1st Place: Nate and Chrystal Seemann 72 – 70
2nd Place: Lynn and Holly Johnston 71 – 77
Thanks to all who participated and great playing!!
We still have many events coming up to play in. Next on the agenda is the Grandmothers tournament on June 2nd, followed by the two man best ball on June 11th and 12th, and the Double Couples on June 25th and 26th. If you want to play in any of these fun tournaments, please let the pro shop staff know, and the sooner the better. The cut off date for the large events is usually the Wednesday prior to the start date.
Last but not least, we are working on getting a facebook page established for Canyon Country Club. This is still in the works, but check it out if you have a chance. Hope to see you around the course soon!!

Thanks to all who participated and great playing!!
We still have many events coming up to play in. Next on the agenda is the Grandmothers tournament on June 2nd, followed by the two man best ball on June 11th and 12th, and the Double Couples on June 25th and 26th. If you want to play in any of these fun tournaments, please let the pro shop staff know, and the sooner the better. The cut off date for the large events is usually the Wednesday prior to the start date.
Last but not least, we are working on getting a facebook page established for Canyon Country Club. This is still in the works, but check it out if you have a chance. Hope to see you around the course soon!!
