Heather DeGrande’s ace on #17! Renee Hinojosa advances in Op36; much more Hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day Weekend! Despite the continued hot weather, the official start of fall is only two weeks away. I can almost feel that first cold front! Ha! Here’s a recap of what’s been going on around the Club.
A DeGrande ace! A very special moment happened on the par 3 17th Monday morning. Heather DeGrande hit the perfect shot from 118 yards. The Hole-In-One was witnessed by Billy Storms and her husband Joe DeGrande, all seen in photo to the right.
Letter from Joe Renee nails OP36 test We had 13 kids participate in our OP36 Testing on Saturday. Renee Hinojosa was successful after shooting a 4-under 32 for nine holes.
Great Labor Day turnout On Labor Day we had a great turnout of 104 players. That is great to see on a holiday.

Letter from Joe
Par Fore the Course By Joe R. Mitchell Jr. PGA Head Golf Professional Over the last two months we have dove into my teaching philosophy along with some mental key words to help start improving your games. This week I’m going to ask everyone to do something very easy. It’s not always easy to play every week or to hit balls multiple times a week. But you can put a golf club in your hand every day. Make it part of your daily routine to grip a club and make some sort of golf swing. This can be done at home or in your office. It can be done in front of a mirror or in your back yard. Invest in some wiffle or nerf golf balls. Carve out 15-30 minutes to hit full or pitch shots. You can even do this if you’re out at your kid’s practice fields. I ask you to at least try. I used to have this habit. It made me the good player that I was. I know life can get hectic. But carve out that time. Grip that club and make those swings. It’s like anything else we do in our lives, the more we do it the better we get! Come see me!
