Greetings:
July is here, and we have had a great head start on rain in the later part of June, thank God! We always pray, anticipate, and expect it, but it was sure nice to get it early. Though the rain always helps, it somewhat dampers our current tee box and rain project, but a small set back on that is worth the cost of rain! We continue to be busy with member play and tournaments.
Come check out both golf shops and find your size! We are currently stocked with decent inventory levels of apparel and equipment. We finally have some Footjoy product; others are Donald Ross, Peter Millar, Travis Mathew, Under Armour, Adidas, Anderson Ord, San Soleil, Kinona, JoFit, Tail, Sport Haley, EP Pro, Jamie Sadock, IBKUL, Swing Control, Lucky in Love, and more. Certain items are difficult due to supply chain issues, but by and large we have been pretty blessed with stock thus far. Thank you to all who participated in both the XXIO and Taylormade fitting days last month. We appreciate all of your support this year!

SCORE POSTING!
In an effort to create a fair and equitable playing atmosphere for all of our tournaments and daily games, let’s be sure we are posting ALL of our scores that are eligible to be posted.
HOUSEKEEPING
I’d like to talk about a couple issues that I feel need some attention. Many of us walk or exercise in our golf course community, which is one of the wonderful amenities of living here; we may even have our pets with us. From a safety standpoint, all need to be mindful of proximity to the golf course when doing this. Errant golf balls are out there, and can be dangerous to you and/or your pet. Beware of times when this is less probable if you are walking, or go off the beaten path for a safer atmosphere. The best advice is not to be anywhere near when golfers are on the course. Also, please pick up accordingly after your pets. For those who smoke, first of all, be Firewise! Have something with contained water to extinguish properly. Also, we need to make sure all cigarette/cigar butts are disposed of accordingly, not flicked on the ground. Our club certainly doesn’t deserve that.

He was witnessed by John Clarke, Larry Jordan, Herbie Marchbanks, and Randy Gray. Also, Melissa Kriegel, new to Alto and a new golfer, dunked it on #3 with a sand wedge at Alto on the AL9GA play day! She was witnessed by Jan Downs, Vinnie Birdwell, and Donna Miller. Jackie Goupil made an ace on #17 at Alto, total 6 for her! Witnessed by Dean, and Ron & Carole Wall. John Clarke made an albotross on #2 at Alto. Great shots to all of you!
