In order to do the things that makes this club even more amazing we need money. There is a couple of ways to build up the coffers: donations, raffles and tournaments. Why would we want to increase our funds... well, maybe a box lunch a couple times a year, purchase a new tablet for the check-in table, better birthday gifts that includes a round of golf, a simple members dinner night, husband/wife golf event that brings in guests and much more. If you support these ideas let our Activities Chairman Ed Ignacio know so we can get a temperature on these ideas. 01/09/2025 - Yesterday morning Mike Johns had his trial by fire and scored a win.

The golf carts have a limit for the # of rounds and life in the batteries as well as the cost of the electrical charge of each cart for each round. If we allow every golfer to have their own cart, we cut the fleet life in half. The management of the carts and the expenses associated with it is one of the major considerations for what green fees are in the future.Ron Parish-LTGC GM 01/01/2024 - January 2024 Birthdays Wishing this be your best day ever!

From now on if you feel you can't make the walk safely, physically or quickly, get a blue flag from the pro-shop, so you can still enjoy your round. If we played a little slower Wednesday it's because we are adjusting and following the rules while still playing a great round each and every week.
