Tee Talk<br />
Michael Fernuik<br />
October is here and the weather is gorgeous and cool.<br />
The club will start having quite a few tournaments so<br />
be sure to check the calendar in this newsletter for<br />
information or ask Mike or Liz. Our winter friends will<br />
start coming in so activity around the club should start<br />
buzzing. Don’t forget to call for tee times.<br />
I know it is early but Christmas will be here before<br />
you know it. At the Golf Shop we will be getting new<br />
clubs (toys) and apparel for men, women, and young<br />
boys and girls. So shop early and avoid the last minute<br />
rush. Come check us out. Popular brands such as Nike,<br />
Footjoy, Titleist, and many more.<br />
FEATS: We are always interested in your golf<br />
accomplishments or even a funny story on the way to<br />
the tee, let Liz or Mike know in the Golf Shop.<br />
One of the club’s young golfer, Elijah Galvan, qualified<br />
and was invited to the play in the STPGA Summer<br />
Championships. He played at the Woodlands Palmer<br />
Course in Houston. Elijah played in the 9-10 9-Hole<br />
Modified Division. Elijah was the second youngest<br />
competitor in the field and he shot a 2 day total of 91,<br />
placed 27th. The Harlingen Country Club is very proud<br />
of Elijah and he was proud to represent the club.<br />
On Sept.10th, Durrell Lovell shot a beautiful 75.<br />
Congrats.<br />
On Sept. 10th also, Craig Lonon made a Hole in<br />
One on number 15. His son in law was a witness, Eric<br />

Thank you to all the members that contributed to<br />
“Patriot Golf Day” over the Labor Day long weekend.<br />
Because of your generous donations the club was able to<br />
raise a significant dollar amount for the Folds of Honor<br />
Foundation that provides post-secondary educational<br />
scholarships to children and spouses of military men<br />
and women killed or disabled while serving our Great<br />
Nation.<br />
Don’t forget about our shoe shine service that is<br />
available upon request.<br />
Also, as a reminder we are an Authorized PING<br />
Fitting Center. What this means we are now better able<br />
to customize a new set of clubs to the member giving<br />
consideration to individual size, swing tendencies and<br />
desired ball flight all during one session and under the<br />
watchful eye of your PGA Professional on the driving<br />
range. Seeing the results right out in front of you, can<br />
be so much better than hitting into a net and having a<br />
computer tell you what you need. Any questions or to<br />
set up a fitting session call Mike at the golf shop.<br />
