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!!

August 2011 Newsletter
From the President
Greetings:
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!

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.

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.

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)

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!!

May 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Greetings: We lost another one of our dear members – Buddy Townsend. Please keep this family in your prayers. Buddy will truly be missed. He was a joy to be around especially during the Friday night scrambles.
Golf play is beginning to pick up. However, we need more members so if you have any good ideas we can use to recruit new members please tell one of the board members. We have already had several suggestions from our current members and will try to decide which ones will work.
The first Friday night scramble was a success and it was good to see old and new faces on the course. Teresa cooked catfish following the scramble – way to go Teresa. Check the schedule on line to see when the scrambles are scheduled.
Don’t forget our work day on Saturday May 7. We need to paint the swimming pool and clean up around the course. If we get enough people, we can do this in about 3- 4 hours or less. We are still in the process of filling in the sand trap on #4 green so now this is considered ground under repair.
Tim is beginning to get new merchandise in the pro shop so check it out the next time you are in there. If you need new clubs or repairs or anything that pertains to golf, he can get you fixed up.
We still have one of the best value’s in the Texas Panhandle – Canyon Country Club. It’s no secret – words out – Spread the Word.
From the Golf Shop
Hello to all. There are many things to report about this month. We had two holes-in-one this month, both on hole #7. On April 17th, Johnny Vaughn used a 4 iron to knock it in the hole. Witnessing his shot of the year were his brother Clarence, Cleve Gustin and Travis Loe. Six days later on April 23, Dick Archer used a 5 wood in very windy conditions to hole it out for his first ever. His playing partners were Gary Erdman, Craig Curlee and, again, Clarence Vaughn. I think Clarence is the good luck charm around here!!
A reminder that May 7th is clean up day for the club starting at 8:30. The main projects are repainting the pool and cleaning up the trash in the creek. Lunch will be provided for all that volunteer. The more we have the quicker it gets done!!
We had the first member scramble on April 22 with some great weather to boot!! There were 44 players in the field, and there is always room for more, so don’t forget to come out and play in these fun events!! The winning team with a score of 6 under 29 was Kelli Mooring, Bob Lang, Brito Valdez and Chrystal Seemann. We will see if anyone can better that score this Friday!!
I am offering some range packages for those who want to get in some more practice and bring their game around. If you want to sign up month to month, cost is $20 for an individual or $30 for a family. Or, you can sign up for the entire year for $125 for an individual or $175 for a family. This plan is offered only to members of the club, and not available to the general public. Just stop by the shop to get going. Plans will start the first of each month. Also remember that as members of the club, you receive 10% off of purchases of clubs, bags, shoes and clothing. For smaller items like balls and gloves, the discount does not apply (basically because I sell them at such a small mark up). Also I am always getting in new things, some that you may need, so stop by some time and check out what I have.
The last thing to report on is the number of carts in a group. This will be necessary especially when we can start driving in the fairways. If you are in a group of 4, please limit your carts to 2 per group. If there are 5 in your group, then it is ok to have 3 carts. Please, lets try and stick to this. It will create less wear on our fairways and also less wear on the carts themselves. Your cooperation on this is greatly appreciated!! The weather is getting warm, the grass is turning green, so come on out to the club and play some golf!!

Hello to all. There are many things to report about this month. We had two holes-in-one this month, both on hole #7. On April 17th, Johnny Vaughn used a 4 iron to knock it in the hole. Witnessing his shot of the year were his brother Clarence, Cleve Gustin and Travis Loe. Six days later on April 23, Dick Archer used a 5 wood in very windy conditions to hole it out for his first ever. His playing partners were Gary Erdman, Craig Curlee and, again, Clarence Vaughn. I think Clarence is the good luck charm around here!!
A reminder that May 7th is clean up day for the club starting at 8:30. The main projects are repainting the pool and cleaning up the trash in the creek. Lunch will be provided for all that volunteer. The more we have the quicker it gets done!!
We had the first member scramble on April 22 with some great weather to boot!! There were 44 players in the field, and there is always room for more, so don’t forget to come out and play in these fun events!! The winning team with a score of 6 under 29 was Kelli Mooring, Bob Lang, Brito Valdez and Chrystal Seemann. We will see if anyone can better that score this Friday!!
I am offering some range packages for those who want to get in some more practice and bring their game around. If you want to sign up month to month, cost is $20 for an individual or $30 for a family. Or, you can sign up for the entire year for $125 for an individual or $175 for a family. This plan is offered only to members of the club, and not available to the general public. Just stop by the shop to get going. Plans will start the first of each month. Also remember that as members of the club, you receive 10% off of purchases of clubs, bags, shoes and clothing. For smaller items like balls and gloves, the discount does not apply (basically because I sell them at such a small mark up). Also I am always getting in new things, some that you may need, so stop by some time and check out what I have.
The last thing to report on is the number of carts in a group. This will be necessary especially when we can start driving in the fairways. If you are in a group of 4, please limit your carts to 2 per group. If there are 5 in your group, then it is ok to have 3 carts. Please, lets try and stick to this. It will create less wear on our fairways and also less wear on the carts themselves. Your cooperation on this is greatly appreciated!! The weather is getting warm, the grass is turning green, so come on out to the club and play some golf!!

April 2011 Newsletter
From the President
The trees are beginning to leaf out, the grass is beginning to turn green and golf play is starting to increase. What a great way to start off spring. I am always amazed at God’s creation every time I drive to the club. There are not very many places in the world where you can see all 4 seasons and the abundant of wildlife we have in the canyon.
If you have wondered about all of the little yellow and pink flags all along the road, the phone company is in the process of laying a new fiber optics cable. Please watch out for their equipment. Hopefully they won’t be there too long.
Starting with the Adios tournament, on the weekends, and other tournaments, we will be running a beer/soft drink cart. We will run this for a while and see how it works. We will not run it during the middle of the week. This will be cash only for non members. Members may charge it to their account or pay cash. It may take a few trips to work out the kinks so please be patient with us.
Take a look around the next time you are in the pro shop. WOW! Tim has done an excellent job of cleaning and rearranging it. He has new stuff ordered so you should see an increase in merchandise very soon. The carts are all running but in the event you find something wrong with one of them, please tell Tim and give him the number of the cart so we can get it repaired.
Hope everyone survived the winter and is now ready to play golf. We need new members so tell everyone you know who plays golf to come visit our course and let’s try to increase our membership.
Have a good round and get your handicap’s down.

From the Golf Shop
Well the year is off to a great start as far as tournaments go. We had 32 teams sign up for the Adios 3-man scramble, a great turn out! There were 4 flights of 8 teams each. Aside from the 6 hour rounds and the less than desirable temperatures, things went pretty much to plan. There was a tie for the winner in the Championship Flight, and those teams decided to go ahead and split first place rather than play it off in the dark or do a scorecard playoff. The winning teams were Philip Fetzer, Scott Perry, and Jerry Hoover tied with Chris Sloan, Chad Coleman, and Dario Garza at 16 under par. In the First Flight it was Bobby Boswell, Ed Burge and David Moore who won a scorecard playoff to claim first prize in their flight. Second Flight was won by Clarence Vaughn, Johnny Vaughn, and Trish Giacomazzi. And last but not least, the Third Flight was taken by Rick Dabney, Janice Price and Stan Price. Low round of the weekend belonged to Chad Pernell, Nate Seemann, and Doug Simms. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for playing!! Hopefully our next tournament, the 2 man best ball on April 16 and 17, will have some warmer weather for everyone!! Give us a ring in the pro shop if you want to play and we will be sure to sign you up. Play is again slated for 2 shotguns each day at 8:30 and 1:30. The new merchandise is finally starting to arrive in the pro shop. If there is something you would like to see us carry but don’t have, please let us know so that we can see about getting your favorite brand in here. We will also be offering a monthly range pass to those who are interested in getting in a little more practice. If you are a member of CCC you can sign up at the beginning of each month in the shop for a cost of $25. There is no monthly plan for those who are not members. This will entitle you to all the range balls you want to hit that month. Just let one of the pro shop staff know and we can get you going. Hope to see you all out at the club real soon!!

March 2011 Newsletter
From the President
The snow we had was wonderful for the golf course. Hopefully the bitterly cold weather is behind us and as the weather warms up, and there is an increase in play.
Welcome our new board of directors. If you don’t know who they are, stop in the club house and see their photos hanging on the wall. Already they have come up with some new ideas that will help play and improve our course. If you have any ideas to help improvements, please give your information to one of these folks.
Tim is finally here. If you haven’t had a chance to meet him, stop by the pro shop and visit with him. He brings us some new and fresh ideas for the club. He is also busy painting and cleaning up the pro shop. What a difference a coat of paint makes.
We had a very successful Polar Bear tournament and the Mikel’s Revenge / beat the Pro tournament. I think this is the first time the weather has cooperated. Good turn out. It was good to see folks back on the course playing again.
The next time you play, look around the course. Mikel and his crew have been doing some clean-up. The old brick fountains on No 4 tee box and No. 9 tee box are gone. Also, (thanks to Roger Senter), we have removed the old shed and tank next to No. 3 tee box. When you are out and about, if you see any trash, coke cups, beer cans etc. please pick them up and put them in a trash can.
Get your clubs out of the garage, clean them up, buy some new balls from Tim, the grass shows signs of green and the weather is warming up so: LET’S PLAY GOLF!
Dick Archer – President

From the Golf Shop
Thanks so very much for the warm welcome I have received here from all of you members. I am excited to be here, and appreciate the opportunity you all have given me. I have done some extensive cleaning in the golf shop along with some new paint colors and some organization. Hopefully you will like the new look in there!!
I will soon have some new merchandise on order, although I still need to visit with the representatives from the golf companies and get accounts set up, merchandise ordered and so forth. So please bear with me as new things should start showing up in the golf shop soon. If there is something you would like to see carried in the shop such as a favorite brand of clothing or balls or clubs, please let me know.
I would like to thank all of you who showed up to support the beat the pro tournament on the 19th. It was a great showing from the members, as me and Mikel didn’t win one single bet. Ouch!! All of the credit from this event has been put onto your club accounts, and you can use those credits for purchasing merchandise in the shop.
On that note, according to my understanding in the past you paid your golf shop accounts through the club. With the new point of sale system I am installing in the shop, you will actually see a separate statement from me if you happen to have an outstanding balance. So just a heads up on that.
I am still learning everyone’s names and faces, so please bear with me if I happen to refer to you as someone else. I promise to do my best to know you all soon!! Again thanks for all your hospitality, and if there is anything I can do for you please don’t hesitate to ask!!

Febuary 2010 Newsletter
From the President
First off I want to thank Jerry Neufeld for serving as our club president for the past 3 years. Also a big thank you to Wilma Higginbotham, and Sue Herring for serving on the board. These people were a big asset to the club and will be missed. We are a family and there are not any better members than what we have at CCC.
2011 brings a challenging year. With the economy being tight and fewer rounds of golf played, we are all challenged to step up to the plate and help out where ever we can. We have a great staff to work with and with Tim Davis arriving soon as our new Pro, we are looking forward to new ideas, new members, and ways to improve our course and increase our membership. We had a great stockholders meeting and several changes were made and a host of good ideas to work on. We will do our best to keep everyone informed of the happenings at CCC. Please check the web site from time to time. Let’s hope the weather cooperates through the remainder of winter so we can get ready for the Friday night scrambles.
A big thanks to Zach, Courtney and Billy for taking control of the Pro shop till Tim arrives and a big thanks to those who have volunteered to fill in while Zach and Billy attend classes.
Dick Archer, President – Board of Directors
Super Bowl Party
The Super Bowl Party at the club will begin at 4:30 on Sunday, February 6th. We will have plenty of food and there will be a chance for you to win some money with our annual Squares Pot. We would love to see everyone there, so don’t forget the party starts at 4:30.
Mikel’s Revenge / Beat the Pro
Our wonderful superintendent gets to play the role of the Evil Greenskeeper on Saturday, February 19th. Mikel will be setting the pins in the most difficult positions that he can find and the tees will be set way back. Find yourself a partner and see if you can stomach the six-putts that are inevitable. The format will be a two person scramble. There will be a 10 stroke handicap limit on your team. Also, there will be an optional Beat-the-Pro tournament. Mikel and Tim will play in the scramble, and yes we will be zero handicaps – (although many could argue that we probably need a few strokes!). The costs of the tournament will $20 for the scramble per player and an extra $10 per player for the Beat-the-Pro portion of the tournament. If you play in the Beat-the-Pro portion, you will automatically receive a $10 credit in the golf shop. If you beat Mikel and Tim, then you double your wager! You can’t lose! Teresa will be making dinner following play.
Ladies Auxiliary
The Ladies Auxiliary will be meeting on Thursday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the community room with NO SMOKING allowed. All ladies are invited to come and be a part of the Ladies Auxiliary. This does not just include the women that play golf, but all ladies that are a member of CCC, as their fundraisers go directly back into the update and beautification of the club. Plus they have a really good time! Dues for 2011 have increased to $20 with $1 going to the hole in one...so the total is $21 for those who want to participate in this.
Membership Dues Increase
As of March 1st, the membership dues will increase to $138.13 per month. This was discussed and voted on during the January Stockholders Meeting.
From the Pro Shop
Zach, Billy, and Courtney would like to thank all of the members that have helped us during the past couple of months. We could not have gotten through it without your help. Also, I hope everyone is as excited as we are about Tim Davis being our new Pro. We are looking forward to working with him and making our club grow. Also because of the lack of moisture, we are Cart Paths Only. We will allow those that need it a flag for the cart, but try to stay on the cart path as long as possible. I hope that everyone will have a great year, and that the weather will be nice enough so we can all have a chance to go out and enjoy our beautiful club. See you on the course!
