FROM THE PRO SHOP

It's that time of year to get back into the swing of things. I'd like to welcome everyone back for a delightful season and extend a happy hello to all new members. Well let's get down to business as we have much to discuss
.
First, I'd like to introduce my new assistant Matt DeMaro. Some of you might remember Matt as he was a member of ours a couple of years ago. For those of you who do not, Matt was club champion for 3 years in a row and turned professional in 2007. Please feel free to come in and welcome him aboard. I'd also like to welcome back Larry Rupp as your first assistant. Larry did a fine job last year and I'm confident he will repeat the same performance this year.

Secondly, we have now opened the new pro-shop facility. I'd like to thank all involved with the project for providing us with one of the best looking pro-shops in the area. I'd like to extend a special invitation to all members to come in, visit and see our new products available for the 2008 season. New products include Greg Norman's collection for men and women, Ashworth as well as a few new club manufacturers. I'll be having a grand opening sale the first two weeks we are officially open. Please stop in and say hello.

This is also the time of year to check your golf equipment as you may need new grips. We offer same day service on any in stock grips we carry. Other services include club repair, professional club fitting and spike changes. Just a reminder, all three professionals will be available to give lessons throughout the year. For further information please inquire at the shop.

Kangaroo storage will be available on a first come first serve basis. We have limited space so please check in early. Push cart storage is also available so please see bag room attendants to receive a spot in the bag room. Club storage is included with your membership. However, kangaroo and push carts are an additional fee. Any questions please see a staff member.

Driving range will be open for all members to use throughout the year however, we ask for your cooperation in refraining from hitting balls beyond the fenced in area. Please stay on mats until the range deck is open. The range will close one hour before dusk Monday through Saturday and three hours before dusk on Sunday. Your full cooperation is greatly appreciated.

On behalf of myself and my staff I'd like to welcome all to enjoy this 2008 golf season. If you have any questions regarding tournaments, tournament formats, dates or times please come in and ask a staff member as we are here to help.
