Men’s Golf
Roy Lloyd
First and foremost; there will be no meeting in January. The next meeting and
first of the year is Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Mark it on your calendar
now and plan to be there to meet the new guys that will be running things for
the coming year. They are: Paul Wilmoth - President, Eddie Lewis - Vice President,
Rodger Page - Secretary, and Ray Sylvia - Treasurer.
Before we get into the New Year, lets close out the old one and we did it in
style with our December ‘meeting’. The final get together for the
year was our annual Members Breakfast and Skills Challenge attended by nearly
200 members on December 2nd. President Ray Zwemer conducted a short business
meeting, thanking all those who had assisted in guiding the Club through a
pretty darn good year. He also handed out a hole-in-one flag to Ben Jackson
for his recent ace. VP Joey Mastrantonio pretty much took over from then on
and handed out raffle prizes that included something for everyone (almost).
We closed the year with 360 members, a sound financial report, and knowing
that we play on a course, that in a word, is excellent.
As you are all aware our last tournament for 2009, The Last Chance on December
8th had to be cancelled due to one awful cold snap that moved through at the
same time. If you were signed up, your entry fee is on the books in the Pro
Shop, go pick up a glove or a couple sleeves of balls! While we are talking
tournaments, the next one will be the “Valentines Day” on Tuesday,
February 9th.
Also, the Men’s Club will assist the Association again this year by helping
to deliver the new directories, scheduled to happen January 8th through the
10th. If you can help, and we all can, contact Phil Hart prior to those dates.
For those that did not attend the last meeting, The Breakfast Bash, trophies
were handed out to the winners of the Match Play Tournament and the Medal Play
Tournament. Winners of the Match Play, considered to be the Club Championship
were:
Club Champion --- Bill Aaberg
First Flight --- Bill Whitney
Second Flight --- Leon Dean
Third Flight --- Jack Armstrong

Crystal trophies were handed out to all by Mark Gouger.
Winners of the Medal Play Tournament and also receiving Crystal Trophies from
Mark were:

were:

Notice some repeats between the Challenge and the Champion ships? Practice makes
perfect!
