Membership Update-We began the year with<br />

we haven’t lost ground but we haven’t gained<br />
either.<br />
Behind the numbers is a distinct positive…<br />
we have brought in six new members…four<br />
in January and two in February…on the<br />
downside, we lost five and had one go inactive.<br />

On February 17 th a few of our golfers played a Scramble.<br />
“We had 5 players show up at Eagle Vines today. (Nigel,<br />
Ray C., Reed, Bill Fox and myself) Bill was smart enough<br />
to go back home. As predicted we had one shower,<br />
unfortunately it lasted all day except on #15 when it turned to<br />
hail. The wind was not too bad except the 5 holes it gusted<br />
to 45mph. All over it was a pretty good day except on #11<br />
where my club flew back over my head after my tee shot.<br />

SIR <strong>106</strong> Golf Results<br />
Ray and Reed were able to duck out of the way but it hit<br />
Nigel in the head. Fortunately it was only the shaft and<br />
he was not injured. He was not so fortunate on #16<br />
when he went into ground under repair to retrieve his<br />
ball and sunk into the mud up to his knees. Let's hope<br />
for better weather next Thursday.”<br />
