Notes From The Bridge...
GOLF
The annual Braggart’s Cup match with the country club was held 9/23, and bragging rights return to our side. The Walton boys ran out to an early lead then held on to win 15-12. Unfortunately our girls lost in the inaugural women’s event at the club. Congrats and thanks to everyone that represented our club. Our tourney season concludes with the Chili Open 10/14. It’s a 4-person best shot, tee time 11:00 a.m. We eat when we’re finished. Put together your team and sign up now at the pro shop.
Cart shed rent is now due. Gas carts are $125 per year-electric $150. Your rent is overdue 11/1 with a $5 per month penalty imposed thereafter. If you intend to remove your cart please tell me now. We do have a handful of people again on a waiting list for space.
I would like to thank all the Friday Nite people who played couples golf and donated most of their entry fees back to the club. Thanks for the great support!
KITCHEN
I’m trying to get these notes out early-WARNING-our kitchen will be closed the first week of October for Gary’s fall vacation. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. We’ll reopen for business as usual 10/10. Once again a reminder-please call in advance with groups of 8 or more.
SOCIAL
There’s a party brewing on 10/6. It’s a Smithburg/Regnier combo birthday party and we’re all invited! I hear Madonna is 40, and Des 50-but I’m not one to believe rumors. So show up and help them celebrate. You can bring some munchies if you want since the kitchen will be closed.
Thanks Steve (Chem Dry) Meyers for spot cleaning our carpets.
Please check our lost & found for any of your missing items. Barb says mid-October-she’s cleaning it out!
Our annual meeting will be held Sunday Oct. 28. Soup is on at 5:30 p.m. with the meeting following at 6:30. We do have three 3-yr seats to fill on our board of directors. If interested in running, please sign up at the pro shop. You do need to be present at the meeting to run. Annually about 10 percent or less of our members attend. People-this is your open forum for complaints and questions. This club is all about our members and families. It’s your right and privilege to elect or serve as responsible board members. Please plan to attend.

Notes From The Bridge
GOLF
Our August golf events both drew very nice crowds. The parent/child tourney had over 60 players and the rebirth of the family picnic after went very well with the help of several people. Thanks to John Dunbar for some of the sweet corn and Trenton for helping me pick it. Thanks Susan Booth for donating the rest of it, and big thanks to Ron Headley for helping me shuck it! Thanks Sommer for your work on the kid’s games, the piñata was sweet, and big hugs to Fred and Teri O’Dell for all their help. We’ll try it again next year. The 3-person best shot was almost a full field and once again a great day. It’s obvious that Joy Padget is a better recruiter than Larry! Next up is the Labor Day pot luck. Golf is at 11:00 a.m. Sign up for 4 person best shot as a single, couple, or team. Bring a covered dish. We’ll supply the meat and we’ll eat about 5 p.m. after the golf. The B.K. will be open and cold drinks and sandwiches will be available. Fall Calcutta weekend is here! The auction is 9/7 after couple’s golf, and the tourney is 9/9. The sign up sheet has been out a week and is almost full. The Braggert’s cup match with the country club is set for 9/23. Larry Padget will pick the team. There is a sign up sheet at the pro shop for available and interested players.
SOCIAL
There will be a retirement/going away party for Rosie McClellan 9/1. She’s leaving town so come and wish her well. We’ll have a buffet available also. The social committee has set 9/22 for this year’s “Amazing Race”, a kind of scavenger hunt/wacky skills challenge kind of thing. More details will be available soon at the bar.
TIDBITS
Our kitchen was recently inspected by the state and received a most outstanding report. Thanks Gary and Angie, it’s all about you guys! Thanks Jim Gray for the carpet job in the men’s locker room. It looks great! Early warning-cart shed rent is due 10/1 and overdue 11/1 with a $5 per month penalty imposed thereafter.
Lastly, thanks everybody who contributed to our cart path project. We collected nearly $4000 which paid all of our cost and still leaves some seed money for next year’s project-the other causeway. Our members are the BEST!
