It seems like only yesterday that it was early May where we had a surprising amount of snow on the ground. It was an unusual start to the summer, but we hit our stride by mid-May and had a great turnout for the variety of events we had at the club. This past summer can be best described as the era of new faces and new events. We built on our industry-leading event schedule and facilities to add some new twists that solidify our position as the best year-round family club in Northern Colorado. We started the spring by welcoming our new General Manager, Scott Szymoniak, to the Fort Collins Country Club community. We also hired Danielle Beaumont as our Membership Director. Both have embraced the club and the members to become an integral part of our success. Scott, along with our great department heads and staff, took the initiative to introduce several new events to the club this summer. Examples are: Easy Street Thursdays, Breakfast at Wimbledon, A Dog Day Afternoon, and the Member Cook-Off (which also served as Bubba Mitchell’s 70th birthday party with Bubba and the Bluegrass Playboys). Nice job to Bubba on the vocals and the wardrobe changes! Congrats to John Beck and Yaron Goldman on the cook-off victory. Thanks so much for supporting the new events and showing such pride in our club. Another new face this summer was the addition of Ben Smith to our tennis staff. Having two of the best tennis professionals in Colorado in Ben and Scott Langs has taken our tennis program to new heights. We had more than 110 juniors in our program this summer. We had a record number of USTA teams, with our Women’s 4.0 and 2.5 teams, and our Men’s 4.0 team winning their Northern Colorado leagues. Special congratulations to the Women’s 2.5 team for winning the Colorado championship! Good luck at the Intermountain Championships in Salt Lake City. It was great to see so much activity on the course, courts, at the pool, and at our new and traditional events this summer at the Club. Let’s take advantage of the weather in the fall and get out to enjoy the Club. I hope to see many of you on the course or courts; and don’t forget to sign up for the great year-round events over the winter that we offer. Also, please make sure that you vote in our capital improvement special meeting by proxy or in person on September 3rd. I will report on the results next month!
