Coming Tourneys

Welcome to a wintry weekend. Yesterday, was the final chapter in the winter Home and Home tourney with Echo,Redmond Ridge and Harbour, for bragging rights. The Pointe lost the battle but won the war so we keep the trophy for another season!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to all that helped to win. The next tournament on the schedule is the Die Hard open next Sat the 21st, a 10 am shotgun. It'll be a 2 man scramble for 9 holes and 9 hole Chapman. Hopefully all this coming winter weather will be gone by next weekend and we can have a great turn out. Also at the desk,there'll be a sign up sheet for the Harbour Pointe Cup, to start April 8th. This will be single lamination match play. It'll be broken down into four brackets or handicap divisions. Play will be on designated play date either Sat. or Sun. (  April 8th at 8 am, Apr. 29th 8 am, May 20th 7:30am,June 10th 7:30am, and the final on JUNE 24TH any tee time.) Play will be off the lower of the two handicaps for that match.Players may decide which tees to play If there's a dispute than whites will prevail. Byes will be issued based on sign up order. If one player in the match can't play on the play date, then he shall forfeit the match. If both players can't play on the play date than a coin flip will decide the winner of the match. Let's make this a full field tourney ( 64 players ), by signing up at the Pro Shop in person or calling the Shop to get signed up. I'll be sending reminders from time to time.

Happy New Year

Good morning and Happy New Year to one and all. Hope you're all feeling some what well after last nights merriment. I'd like to wish you all much success in the coming year in all your future endeavors, specially in your golf  accomplishments. This year, as in past years, will be full of opportunities to play and to put cash on the books. The catch here is to play so you can reach those goals of a major winner,Rhodes Cup Player, or the top 50 money winner. With respects to that goal, our first tournament of the year will be Sat.the 7th, a 10:00 AM shotgun. The play is 2 BEST BALLS OF THE 5 SOME. Right now the weather for next Sat. looks OK,so lets start the year off with a great turn out. The 50/50 pot will be in effect, so tee it up and hope somebody gets a hole in one. Congrats to Paul Richter who was the winner of half the pot for the Mystery Ball tourney.
    On another note, I hope you've had a chance to read the current News Letter just sent out this past week.Ron Monaco is the new editor of the news letter and he's done a really excellent job with this edition. Great job Ron (aka cheesecake).
   On a personal note, I hope this year to make Club news at HarbourPointe, more interesting and more accessible so you can stay as current as you can on what's happening at the course and coming events. Thanks for your support and suggestion this past year   Big D
