Tee Talk – November 2014

Page 1

From the President

I am pleased to report

that due to the hard

work of Charley Temple

and George Stevenson

not only does the golf

course look great, but

there is no odor from

the pond. Great job,

guys!

The course is filling up

with Snowbirds starting

to return. I know George

& Charley are working on

some ways to keep the

pace of play reasonable

and offer as much

opportunity to golf as

possible.

Our AGM is set for

Saturday, January 24th.

Our golfing community

relies on volunteers to

pitch in. Debbie

Thompson is heading up

the committee to find

candidates to run for

the board. You could

always throw your hat in

the ring by e-mailing

Debbie at:

deborahthompson104@y

mail.com Be sure to

include a biographic

paragraph.

The Budget Committee

has met once to start

the process for what will

become the budget we

will present at the AGM.

Randy Cooper does an

enormously good job. He

will be sorely missed as

he comes off the board

in January and moves

back north of the

border.

You might wonder

exactly what the

president does on a daily

basis. I meet with Ester

Solanoz, our Club’s legal

representative. She

gives me advice,

background and

information. If the issue

is simple, I make the

decisions. If it is a bit

more complex, then I

refer it to the executive

committee. I am blessed

to have two past CCC

presidents in my

executive committee.

They have had a wealth

of information that has

been very helpful.

I am going to close with

some personal

information. Peggy and I

took an odd path to golf.

Our background is in

hiking and back packing.

The big ethic of hikers

is, “Take nothing but

photos and leave nothing

but footprints”.

My number one pet

peeve? Litter on the

golf course. If I were to

focus in on a type of

litter it would be

cigarette butts around

the greens and in the

sand traps. From my

Tee Talk

point of view, if you

brought onto the course

then you can dispose of

it properly. You will see

me picking up litter as I

golf, but I draw the line

at cigarette butts. Part

of what I think when I

pick up a candy wrapper

is,” Whose job is it to

pick up litter”? If you

like the golf course, I

end up thinking, it is

everyone’s job.

Rodney Brooks

President, Chapala

Directors

- A golf gift given to

you at Christmas by a

non-golfer is always

unsuitable.

- Always concede the

fourth putt.

- Delicate chip shots

over bunkers always

catch the top of the

bank and fall back.

- Golf is the only game

in which you fail to win

99 per cent of the

time.

- If a good course is

one where you play to

your handicap or

better and a bad

course is one where

you struggle to break

100, why are there so

many bad courses?

- If there is one solitary

tree located on a hole,

your ball will find it

with unerring

accuracy.

- The fact that trees

are ninety per cent air

does not mean your

ball avoid the

remaining ten per cent

of timber.

- The sand in the

bunkers is never the

right texture for your

particular technique.

AGM Nominations Notice

The Annual General Meeting of the CCC Golf Club is January 24, 2015. As a member of the Nominating Team for next year’s Board of Directors at the Club, I would like to offer you this opportunity to stand for next year’s Board.

Putting Contest

THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEMBERS AND STAFF OF THE COUNT RY CLUB DE CHAPALA

The 11th Cruz Roja Golf Classic was an enormous success due to your generosity and hard work. All it takes for a successful tournament are sportsman-like players, a terrific golf course, great food, lots of volunteers and maybe just a few prizes (some imbibable). WE HAD IT ALL!

Special thanks to the Board members and managers, Ramiro Barajas, Mauricio Aguirre and Javier Flores who all gave 110% to ensure everything worked just right. A special culinary treat, homemade European style sausages were supplied by Bruce Sondergaard and put an excellent Bar-B-Q over the top. Thank you, Bruce!

In short, Cruz Roja Chapala and the entire Lakeside community will be benefitting from this event, Hope you had a good time and we”ll see you next year!

KIDS AND THEIR FUTURE

Forty-one students are hard at work in their respective levels of education, enjoying the support of generous members of the Country Club de Chapala. This academic year, the KIDS AND THEIR FUTURE Fund is helping defray the educational costs for students beginning with kinder through university level work. In June, Luis Antonio Aceves Rosales, son of accountant Antonio Aceves, graduates from the University of Guadalajara with a degree in Tourism. The fund continues to support a chef in training, son of Eduardo Navarro, and has provided support for Benito Vasquez Barajas’ daughter as she prepares for a career in the airline industry. The education committee is proud of the young people it sponsors.

We continue our appeal for greater help from the membership at large. We have lost three of our most generous donors through moves back to the U S or Canada. Our major fund raiser THE AMIGO CUP is on the calendar for late March. More details will be forthcoming as the date draws nearer.

The Employees Christmas Party will be on December 13. Why not stop in and meet some of the students that your contributions support? Also, please keep our fund in mind as an appropriate and meaningful way to memorialize a friend or family member who has died. We note in sadness the recent death of retired educator Jeannie McCallum, a strong supporter of our endeavors to make it possible for kids to start and stay in school.

Address any questions or concerns to education committee members, Read Vawter, Mike Garvey, Brooke and Fran Reidelberger, Bob and Margaret Skinner, and our newest member, Marilyn Edwards.
