FROM THE GOLF SHOP
NEWLY CROWNED CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to Jeanine Douglas for
successfully defending her title as Ladies
Club Champion and to Dana Brown
for winning his second Men’s Senior
Club Championship. Each player held
off stiff competition well enough from
their respective fields to, once again,
take home the trophies. Great play was
also enjoyed by Tammy Hutchinson and
Scott Hardigree for winning the First Place Net title in each of the championships, as well.
Thanks also goes to all who participated and enjoyed a great weekend of competition. Bring
on 2014!

THE BUCKAROO

Wednesday, November 27 | 12:30 pm Shotgun Start
This annual event has become a Cateechee favorite, as well as a great kick off to the holiday
season. The format is easy. Pick your own partner for a two person scramble and make your
own foursome out of people with whom you enjoy playing golf. This event is open to friends
and family of Cateechee members and is handicapped. Only those players signed up in the
golf shop by the entry deadline of Saturday, November 23 will be guaranteed a position in
the tournament. After November 23, sign up will be based on space availability. Sign up
sheets and additional information items are posted in the golf shop.

MEMBER APPRECIATION

Thank you to all of the members who joined us for our Member Appreciation event! We
hope all of our members know how much we appreciate them. The below images, and those on
the cover are from the Member Appreciation night.

Wine & Cheese Party
Thursday, December 5
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The golf shop staff would like to
invite you to its annual Wine &
Cheese Party. Come by the golf
shop, enjoy some holiday cheer
and take advantage of some “Party
Only” prices on the gift giving
items you’ve been thinking about.
Those that attended last year will
recommend you arrive early as we
had about sixty members in the
golf shop at one time picking up
some great deals. We look forward
to seeing all of you then!

ON THE GREEN

MASON BOWERS, SENIOR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT

The greens healed quickly from the Fall aeration and are back to the playing conditions we
expect at Cateechee. We used a smaller tine this year, which allowed the holes to fill and
grow in more rapidly. With the cooler months coming up, the conditions of the greens will
only improve.
As we go into the winter months, we will be doing a lot of detailing work around the course.
Renovating sand bunkers and repairing damaged drain basins will be top priorities.
The planting of our annual flowers is complete. The beauty of the flowers, along with all
the changing colors that come with the Fall season, will enhance our marvelous club. The
winter rye grass is looking great and will provide a good playing surface for the upcoming
season.
I would also like to say “Thank You” to everyone for abiding to the path only rule during the
grow in of the over-seed. This makes a big difference in what we are trying to accomplish,
which is to make “YOUR” club stand out as the “Best!” By doing this, it allows the seed
to have even germination and work its way down to the soil so we can have an outstanding
playing surface for our members and guests! As always, thank you for supporting Cateechee
Golf Club!
