The Devil Made Me Do it

Morning guys, I'd  like to thank all of you who played in the Devil Ball Tournament. It was one of the better turn outs in the past couple of years. A, at a boy, to Tim Anderson for the Pig Roast and for Adrain for his cooking of the Pig. I'd like to thank all club members who are supporting the new 50/50 Pot program. We now have 250 + in the pot and yesterdays winner was Gary Tangen. With the Holiday Classic coming this weekend, we can greatly improve that total, just waiting for some one to get a hole in one. Don't forget to sign up the Classic this week. Let's make this one of the more memorable Classic in awhile.

Adjustment!!!!!!!!!!

In the past few weeks and months, it’s come to my attention that the state of this Men’s Club has steadily slipped down the hill of dysfunction. I believe this to be true for several reasons, none of which is more important than the other. We’ve become somewhat disconnected with reality. Change happens in life and in business and with that comes adjustments. We’ve become selfish, with the “ what’s in it for me” attitude, or I’m not going play. (I.e. tournament handicap, Wednesday nite Men's club being canceled or moved). Guys, it’s about making adjustments, having better communication for all who are involved in making decisions and those who are affected by those decisions. Those of you, who feel Harbour Pointe Golf serves at the pleasure of the Men's Club, need a reality check. It’s really the other way around.


Though I don’t always agree with Corp. or Pro Shop management decisions, for whatever reasons they were made, I’ve learned to adjust, as to make my experience at Harbour Pointe more enjoyable. We’re not always going to have the best weather conditions, golf course conditions or set up, or tournament decisions, (I E handicaps and etc). But if we can somehow make adjustments in our own attitude, then we can make this golfing experience more fun for ourselves and everyone else.

I ask the members of this club to stop bickering and making knee jerk decisions, when things don’t turn out the way you think they should.

Thank you for listening. This was written by this blogger, to express his point of view and is not in defense of the Pro Shop management or the Men's Club.
