This tree represents all the birdies and eagles that have been scored by CLGA members during our play days and prizes are awarded to all during our Holiday Luncheon each year.

The members with five or more birdies are Jeanine Douglas (18), Kaye Lewis (14), Jean Kidd (14), Kathy Heriford (12),Annette Holland (11), Gena Cauthen (9), Candy Taylor (8) and Audrey Burke (6). C l u b Connection | Novemb e r / D e c e m b e r 2 0 1 3 NORTHEAST GEORGIA WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION Gena Cauthen received a nice surprise recently when she was informed that the results initially posted for play at Innsbruck in July were corrected and that she had actually won first low net in the 5th flight on that play day back in July. Congratulations, Gena. The NEGWGA Championship was held at Royal Lakes on October 8 & 9. Ruth Roosenberg, Annette Holland and Kaye Lewis represented Cateechee at this year-end event. Kaye won first low net in the 2nd flight, so we congratulate Kaye on her win too. Ruth Roosenberg retired as President of the association at the annual meeting during the championship. We thank Ruth for her leadership during this past year and congratulate her on a great season. CLGA HOLIDAY LUNCHEON Our annual Holiday Luncheon will be held on December 11 at noon in the ballroom. At the luncheon we will honor all of our winners for the year, as well as celebrate our tenth successful year as the CLGA. Another year is coming to an end and I’m amazed at how quickly time passes. Maybe it will seem to slow down during the late fall and holiday seasons. It gets dark earlier, which may mean more time with family and friends. It’s a great time to play golf and the course is in great condition. Many of you are hosting or will be attending Christmas parties at Cateechee. Our goal is to price as competitively as possible, so you will want to have your events at your club. You certainly will want to attend the Cateechee Member-Only Christmas Social on Sunday, December 1st and the annual member’s night at the pro shop on Thursday, December 5th. You will receive great discounts on golf merchandise, along with complimentary wine and cheese. I feel like I have already opened my Christmas present. The opportunity to serve as your general manager in 2013 was more rewarding than I could have imagined and I am looking forward to 2014. Have a Merry Christmas and safe holiday season. See you at the Club! - Buck
