MESSAGE FROM SHAG GOLF CHAIR

 

The Golf Calendar for 2012 is now published on the SHAG web site for you to review and plan exciting play days for this year.  We already have a few events scheduled, but our most pressing need is to start filling up the early portion of the calendar.  I would appreciate any assistance in getting some play dates scheduled sooner rather than later.  It's not very hard to host an event... you'll have plenty of help.  Let me know how I can assist to make the process easier on you.  You can contact either me (gmrogers10@sbcglobal.net) or Joan McDonald (jjoanmcd@gmail.com) to volunteer to organize a SHAG golf play day. 

Thanks,
Greg Rogers

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

 

Hello SHAG Members,

 

This year's golf and socials are off to a great start -- thanks to our January social (horse races), golf outing at Oakhurst, and Super Bowl party at Mike Quinn's home (thank you again Mike for the great time).  The turnouts for both the golf and Super Bowl party were very encouraging.  Hopefully, we will continue to get lots of golfers out for the camaraderie on the courses this year!

 

Please make plans to attend the Members Meeting at the Fox and Hound off Highway 249 at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 15 (thanks to Joan McDonald for setting up).  There will be door prizes, socializing, and discussions about what's coming this year.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

 

If you have any ideas, questions, or comments about how to improve the SHAG organization and experience, please let me know.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY GOLF RESULTS

 

The weather surprised us all. Despite gloomy forecasts of mega rain and cold, 22 people still turned up and the weather totally held off. The course had drained well so we were not sloshing around in mud, but it was cart path only. So we all got walking exercise and faced the tolerable 48 degrees. What heroes!

 

OWN BALL MEN:   1st - Jon Coon, 2nd - Ray Rush

OWN BALL LADIES:  1st - Vicki Johnson, 2nd - Sally Paulson

SHAMBLE MEN:  1st - Mike Quinn, 2nd - Ron Eddy

SHAMBLE LADIES:   1st - Sharon Pannel, 2nd - Jan Gage

CLOSEST TO THE PIN: #5 - Ray Rush, #7 & 17 - Ron Eddy, #11 - Homer Miller

 

SUPER BOWL PARTY RESULTS

 

1st Quarter:     Josette George
2nd Quarter:    Josette George
3rd Quarter:     Joan McDonald
Final Score:     Elaine Sebastian

 

To those of us who didn't win....Better luck next year!!

Greg Rogers has done a great job putting together the golf calendar for 2012. It will be on the SHAG website (shagolfers.com) soon. Check it out

 

We will also have a strong push this year to increase our membership. If you have any ideas on how to do this, please let me or any other board member know. Your input is essential to our success.
