Fall is here! September, as always, was a glorious month. Not only were we busy, but the weather was pretty spectacular. As we roll into October we have just a month of play days remaining as far as tournaments. We hosted the Border tournament mid-month, and a quick “shout out” to our Alto ladies for taking the season lead through that outing; great playing to our Alto ladies, and good luck at T or C for the finale! We had a great turnout for this year’s AMGA Lonesome Pine, with 84 two-man teams spread out in 10 flights! Congratulations to all of our winners and all who played. Finally, we had our first ever Couple’s Member-Guest (PARTY OF FORE)! As an inaugural event, we gathered 26 four-person teams for the two-day event. As temperatures drop and members slowly make their way back to their winter abodes, we naturally slow down. The handful of play days left for the month of October will conclude the tournament season for 2022!
We now look for the tee boxes to be fully grown in and the range project to mature, in an effort for both to be fully finished in the Spring of 2023. We know these projects were disruptive to playing, but certainly appreciate your patience with it. The end result will be great.
CREDIT BOOKS MUST BE USED THIS YEAR!
As we are in an “even” year (2022), ALL CREDIT BOOKS MUST BE USED BY DECEMBER 31, 2022. Be sure to make a note of this. Inventory levels are still great in both shops, so come find your goodies today!
