Greetings:
October continued to be another great weather month for golf! Although many members have gone to their winter abodes, we have still seen busy tee sheets. We have also completed another great tournament season, as November is here. One notable tournament that we hosted at Alto was the SCAGA Mid-Amateur Championships. The tournament was played at Outlaw and Alto (36-hole medal play). There were several divisions among the tournament and we had several Alto members participate. A special congratulations to Denise Bowers for winning the Women’s Championship by 9 shots! Way to go, Denise!
In the Men’s Championship we had Ramon Griego, Josh Ramsey, Scott Roser, and Lance Kuykendall in the action. Ramon and Scott ended up in a sudden death playoff to compete for the win. Unfortunately, they both came up short and tied for 2nd. Great showing and well done!
Gary Mundy and Gary Jeffreys competed in the Senior Championship and placed 3rd and 6th respectively. In the Senior Net A Division, Mark Tapley finished tied for 2nd . Great job and showing by all of our Alto members who competed in this tournament.
KOKOPELLI UPDATE:
Rounds of golf have continued to be very popular at Kokopelli! It has been really nice to have another option for golf, and the food truck has been a big hit in the interim. We are shooting for some time in
November to be operating out of the new golf shop at Kokopelli. Lots of work is being done to get the space ready; the merchandising will start slow, as we are going into winter months and have much less foot traffic. Also, some of the fixtures will take some time to obtain over the winter. We are working hard to get everything transitioned and ready to be fully stocked by Spring 2024! We appreciate your patience with this.
TOURNAMENT CALENDAR:
We are currently working on the 2024 calendar; it should be completed and approved before the end of this month. Once that happens, we will have it readily available on the club website. We will be working on the tournament portal in Golf Genius with all registration information and event details as well. Most of this will be done in the coming winter months.
BLACK FRIDAY SALE:
Stay tuned for a Black Friday Sale in late November! Correspondence will go out later this month.
HOLE IN ONE REPORT: We failed to report a hole in one in September. On September 22nd Rolla Hinkle aced #3 at Alto with a knock-down pitching wedge. He was witnessed by Mack Massey, Gordon Jumonville, and Don Pendergras. GREAT SHOT, ROLLA!
On October 5th, Larry Jordan aced the 3rd at Alto with a wedge. He was witnessed by Bob Hughes, Byron Jordan, and Greg Morrow. His hole in one total is now two. On October 8th, Judy Smith aced the 5th hole at Alto with a 7-iron. She was witnessed by Sue Thompson, Chip Hamilton, and Larry Field. This was her first hole-in-one. Great shots to both of you.
