Most Improved Golfer
"Don't play too much golf. Two rounds
a day are plenty."
~ Harry Vardon
It is spring in April. We are happy to
leave behind winter's record-setting
weather of February
and March. There
were long stretches
where the temperature
didn't reach 50
degrees, and frost
delays and
cancellations abounded. However, the
Men's Club volunteers organized
several social and educational events
for members, family, friends, as well as
the two women's golf clubs Niners and
CWGA:
■ Rules Seminar
■ Taylormade Equipment Seminar
■ Chili Cook-Off Contest
Feedback from attendees was very
positive, and we will again organize
events next winter.
While many of our members travel
south for the winter months, there are
members who stay in Charbonneau and
play through it all. There was the
"Frostbite Open" in January. In the
months following, there were small
groups of members checking their
weather apps to find a break where
they can get on the course for a round.
COURTESY PHOTO
Men’s Club members Perry Esterson, Paul Robertson and Dave Massing decided golf was more important than
chores at home in early March.
Of course, there is an even smaller
group that takes it to another level of
golfing dedication. Here is a picture of
our members (Perry Esterson, Paul
Robertson and Dave Massing) who
decided that playing golf was more
important than the "fix it" list of things
at home.
Not even the snow stopped them
from their golf in early March.
Admirable by some of us, but
questionable decision-making to the
rest of us, especially our spouses. So, if
you get a call from a fellow Men's Club
member in the winter, and he asks,
"what are up to today?" be very
thoughtful about your answer.
Educational Seminar
April 11 — a Workshop for Mobile
Devices and the Men's Club website will
be held Thursday, April 11, at 2 p.m. in
the Charbonneau Country Club lounge.
Bring your mobile devices (phones,
pads and laptops). John McLain and
others will help you "go mobile" to get
the most current information about golf
events. To sign up, send an email or text
to John McLain at [email protected]
or 503-799-2527.
