OK... NO MORE NOTICES, HERE ARE SOME NEWS!
- What is more difficult? A birdie on a short par 4 or a hole in one? Think again! Ann Cowan made the news again when, after going O.B. on the short par-5 #18, she holed her fourth short from 175 yards! Now, just in case you missed it, I say "again" because Ann has been rather sharp lately, as last week she helped her team win the Annual Ladies Invitational at Idabel Country Club: after making a hole in one in the second hole of play, she followed with a holed out shot from 70 yards on the next hole for eagle! (I guess her "Wolf" group should wait a while until she cools down!)
- Anya is come and gone. As luck would have it, she came on the coldest and windiest weekend in the last few weeks, nonetheless, she played 18 holes, 9 on Friday and 9 on Saturday with a couple of different groups. While in Elk City, Anya met with members and juniors to thank them for their support. As well, thanks to Shawn Wilson and K.E.C.O., she gave a couple of radio interviews. Thank you to all those who showed up to our get together on Friday night! Anya will be playing the finals of "Q-School" for the LPGA in Daytona Beach Florida at the end of November an though she is fully exempt in the Symetra Tour for 2013, she would rather play the main Tour... GOOD LUCK!
- Joby Gray & Haley Gunkel shot 63 and won the end of the year's Thursday couples get-together. Another season gone by! Brad & Dayva Spitzer played a great round as well with a 65 and came in second place. Gary & Jeanette Scott took 1st net with a 59 and Rodney & Sarah Cloud took 2nd net with a 60. Great competition and great cookout after the event courtesy of Leon & Lana Stuart. This tournament is always played in October, usually on a Saturday, however, this year, dues to conflicts with different dates, the tournament was moved to a Sunday afternoon. Twelve couples participated.
- Joby Gray was picked to the junior team that plays against Texas Juniors in a "Ryder Cup" type match. The match is to be played in Ardmore, OK. Joby has had several offers from various colleges to play on their team, presently, he has colleges in Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas in his sights, but he has not made up his mind... maybe!- Check out the 2013 tentative tournament calendar, and remember, unless it is a very large tournament, golf course is available for members during the play of a tournament. If you are hosting a tournament, please check that the dates are correct.
- The country club is going through some redecorating and recently went through the expense of replacing furniture: Come and check the new furniture at the grill, the restaurant, the ladies card room and the board room! It is pretty nice! Thanks to the help of Terry's Furniture, the club's expenses were much less than anticipated. Thanks Terry & Joyce!
