Can you believe it is time to think about our fall league starting soon? Dues for renewal are to be paid to Cathy Steeves, our Membership Chair, or drop a check off at the Pro Shop for $70, made out to LLGA-18. New members can get info from the Pro Shop or by contacting Cathy. Our league begins on Wednesday, October 1, so it would be great to have all member information prior to starting so our valuable directory can be ready for you.
Our schedule for the 2025-2026 season has been e-mailed to all members, so if you are new, or your information has changed, you should contact our President, Lynne Denk or Cathy. The first BIG event is our “Welcome Back” on October 29, when we host our 9-Hole League and enjoy another famous lunch by our terrific Executive Chef Richard Schultz and crew. It is always fun to see everyone after a long busy summer season away or traveling.
There was rain that challenged our Florida summer golfers, but hopefully you have enjoyed play at many of the neighboring courses. For those away, the challenge of mountainous terrain and very long fairways can take the rust off those drivers that haven’t had much use. The thick, long rough we have was like watching the British Open! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to schedule a lesson or two or perhaps attend a clinic to brush up on anything that may be troubling your game. It gets busy in season, so now would be the time to see our wonderful Pro for a tune up. I have heard great things about his teaching technique.
If you see Rocky Ford, or any of the maintenance crew around the course, give them a BIG thank you and smile. They have worked so hard to get the course in shape for the coming season. We know how many people use the course all winter long, and it does take a beating at times. Please fix those ball marks, which helps keep the greens in top shape.
It is always fun to see our Landings friends. For Dotty Fritze, Diane Giebner, and me, Mary Ann Spry, it is especially fun as we all live in Colorado and golf with a terrific 18 Hole League where we occasionally are paired up together and normally enjoy lunch on the patio. Dotty did especially well last week, finishing first in her flight in our Handicap Tournament. For those who think 8 a.m. is too early to play golf, we have tee times that start at 6:45 a.m., and many of us really prefer those cooler times and finish when we should. (It is very light at 5 a.m.)
Kudos to the regular gals who are enjoying Wednesday and Friday golf throughout the summer. We are looking forward to seeing everyone very soon. Have a great month and pray there will be NO hurricanes this season.
