Untitled, For Some Reason...
GOLF
Golf season started with two memorial tourneys-one wet and one dry! The Brian Best memorial was held on a rainy Sunday May 6. Here’s a note from the family- The Brian Best family wants to express gratitude for all who supported the 1st annual “Best Shot”. Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. With your unselfish donations we will be able to give athletic scholarships to both a girl and a boy our first year. We thank you so much for helping Brian’s memory live on. The Jim Emry memorial tourney was held May 27 and turned out to be a great day. Good money was once again raised by the Emry Cancer Foundation. Thanks to all our members who supported these two special tournaments. Our first invitational tourney is the Good, Bad, & Ugly- 2 person Ryder Cup June 16. It’s 27 holes of best shot, low ball, and alternating shot. The cost is $20 per person-so get a partner and sign up now! We have our annual club tourney June 23 & 24. You play 18 holes for a qualifying score anytime Saturday and finish on Sunday. There are more details available at the pro shop. If you’ve looked closely at the annual golf calendar you’ve noticed that all the July dates are wrong!-Sorry-Please check next month’s calendar for the correct ones.
Here are a few thank-you’s to pass along-thanks Doug Alexander for the flower work on the golf course. Also to Angie Dunbar for the flower pots around the clubhouse-they look great, and once again to Taco Bill Corrick for the new water fountain on the course. Thanks a lot folks.
SOCIAL & KITCHEN
We had another huge brunch crowd for Mother’s Day. Thanks Gary for a great meal and special thanks to the wait staff for handling the big crowd so well. Here are a couple things we’re going to try this summer. On Friday nights we’re going to light our big grill and have a couple of weekly grill-your-own specials in addition to our normal dining. We’ll put baked potatoes and a veggie on the hot table so you can dine at your own pace. Sunday afternoons and evenings we’re going to light the smaller grill on the patio and have burgers and dogs available to cook.
In late June we will be building and pouring new cart paths on both sides of the causeway leading to #1 tee box. Here’s a letter explaining how-thanks Vi, we love and miss you! Dear members: enclosed you will find a check in the amount of $7132.00. This is to cover construction of the concrete cart path from the clubhouse to the bridge. It is my hope that the concrete path will be a great addition to the Walton club and it will be enjoyed by all members for years to come. Pete and I called Walton our home for over 40 years and it will always hold a special spot in my heart. Sincerely, Vi Pearce
