Whitewater Country Club Newsletter February 28, 2010

2010 Welcome Back Members!

MANAGER'S NOTES:

Welcome Back - to another great year at Whitewater Country Club. With few events happening this time of year, this will be mostly an informative Newsletter - please read through carefully. As we move closer to Spring, please feel to contact me any time if you have things you would like included in our monthly Newsletters. Here's hoping for warm weather and to see you soon at the Club.

Membership - Our numbers thus far are in line with the last few seasons. Remember our incentive program is still available - if you recruit a full golfing owner-member, you AND that new member BOTH receive 25% off the dues portion of your membership for one year. We have already had one new member, Claudia Huettl who is the sister of owner-member Kathleen Watts. Welcome Claudia!... Members are also reminded that you must have your dues paid by the Annual meeting (April 25th). Applications were sent in December but if you need another one, you can print them from the following links: Owner-Member Application ........... Specialty Member Application. Contact me with any membership questions. Thanks!!

Friday Night Dining - We are open THIS FRIDAY (Feb 19) for regular dining. Next week we are not but starting in March we will be open EVERY Friday from 5 to 9pm for dining. Menus are always posted throughout the Clubhouse and are posted on the main page of the website every Tuesday afternoon. We encourage you to come out and please bring guests. Even if your guests may not be golfers, we have inexpensive Social Memberships if they enjoy our dining experience.

Sunday Breakfast Special - For the remainder of February and all of March, the Board has approved an open guest (no membership of any type required) policy for all Sunday Breakfasts. In addition $1 of every breakfast served from now until the end of March will be paid to the Whitewater Food Pantry. So please encourage anyone you know to give us a try on Sundays from 8 AM to 11:30 AM. Have a great breakfast and help us support a great cause! *Remember the 1st Sunday of every month is our Buffet*

Board Positions - Dennis Wagie and Chris Turner are completing their third year on the Board and their positions are therefore open. A nominating committee is being put together but you may also contact any Board member if you are interested in running in April. Thanks to Dennis and Chris for all their hard work over the past 3 years!

Free Golf Fridays - Last year we implemented a couple weeks where golf was free for your guests if you purchased a meal before/after. The Board has decided to alter that slightly and simplify it as well. This Summer will start Free-Golf-Fridays. The FIRST Friday of every month (May-Sept) will allow you to bring as many guests as you like (playing as many holes as you like) as long as they stay Friday night and enjoy dinner with us. I will remind you again as we get closer and it will also be on the Calendars...

Outing & Tournament Schedule - We have the upcoming summer schedule nearly complete. Please click on the following link to view:
2010 Tournament Schedule The schedule will be updated as I receive more information. We will also post it around the Clubhouse and on our monthly Calendars. Please sign up and play in as many event as you can!

Men's League Participants - New men's league directors Dan Navarre, Marty Heberling and Bill Watts have submitted the information below. I have also attached the League Sign-up Sheet in the initial email of this Newsletter:

The Early Men’s League (tee times Wednesday 10am through 2pm) is looking for new members. To continue the league we need to field at least 20 golfers. League membership is now open to ANY type of specialty member as well as owner members - so long as the golfer establishes a handicap within the first few weeks of the season. Play is ‘match play’ with points awarded to the golfer’s team for each hole won or tied. Handicaps and weekly hole prizes provide friendly competition for both old pros and new golfers.

Please take a look at the sign-up sheet and consider joining the league. Contact the league administrators with any question.
