Letter from the Editor
Tom Weir
The season is coming to a close. The State Telco tournament serves as that
‘last call’ notice. The annual club
breakfast awards ceremony with solicitation for 2009 membership dues completes
the picture. Then, on to Silverado and
another champaign. This marks my last
newsletter. Stewardship will be passed
on to Leon.
This is true change we can believe in.
I’ll miss the chance to engage intellectually in this forum, the guilt I
felt when months passed without me publishing any results (hey, I’m Catholic..
guilt is good), and the opportunity to occasionally skewer some of the members.
Thanks to Tom Baker for all the hard work in organizing the tournaments. I think we had another outstanding year. More thanks to Tom Fosdick, Mr. Stats and
Studies, who always had to hang around to receive all the score cards, then
update the club standings. We should at least buy him one drink per tournament
to compensate for his time. Kudos to Steve Spiva, El Presidente, who has guided
the club through another successful year .
And Roger, the quiet money man, who takes our paltry dues and has
somehow been able to buy two time shares in Boca and still float checks for the
tournaments.
Be sure to attend this week-end’s
tournament. The food, weather, and
comradarie will all be excellent. The
golf, who knows.
Upcoming Tournaments
Tom Weir
The remaining schedule for 2008 is below. Plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy
the game, weather, scenery, and camaraderie that makes golf the true sport of
kings. Tom Baker has made it easier than
ever to attend. He accepts e-mails,
phone calls, voice mails, completed sign up forms mailed directly to his house
or even an in person chat. Mr. Fosdick
has added a new link on the Web Page, http://pages.sbcglobal.net/trfosdick/Signups.htm.
for current signup status. We will try to update this list on a weekly
basis up to close date. Email and verbal commitments are OK, but the
printed signup form with check is better, http://pages.sbcglobal.net/trfosdick/1st%20Qtr%20Apps%202007.htm.
Emails, verbals and forms with checks are all commitments to
play and pay.
Enjoy World Class Napa Valley Golf Courses at Silverado
Golf Information | An excellent way to enjoy
Silverado's natural beauty is to play the two 18-hole Napa Valley Wine Country
golf courses, each in the distinctive style of their architect, Robert Trent
Jones, Jr. These premier Napa
Valley golf resort
courses cover 360 acres and feature lush vegetation, ponds, lakes, three
sweetwater creeks, trees arching over the fairways and artfully placed traps
and greens. The 6,685-yard South Course
challenges golfers with side-hill lies and more than a dozen water crossings,
while the North Course stretches 6,900 yards but is occasionally more
forgiving. A complete golf pro shop replete with Napa Valley Wine Country gift
items is available in the Club House. A staff of top professionals is on hand
to assist guests in improving their golf game.
