y wife always says: “Wouldn’t it be nice
Mif the weather was like this year round?”
I have to remind her that if it was, 12 million
folks would live in this valley and it would be
impossible to get around.
All kidding aside this time of year the golf courses in the valley are
getting into great shape. It’s fun to play in an environment where trees
are neatly trimmed and sprouting new growth.
The grass is growing all over the golf course and flowers are popping
out everywhere. What beauty! I trust that while on the course you do
take in the wonderful landscape that surround each hole.
This year’s Memorial Day event promises a day of fun for all
participants. The cost is $100 per player, and includes green fees, cart
and range balls, lunch, refreshments on the course, contests and holein-one
and raffle prizes. There are flights for men, women and couples
and play will be a scramble format.
Sponsorship packages are available. All event proceeds further the
mission of The Foundation Assisting Seniors, which is to assist seniors
in times of illness, recovery, confinement at home, coping with loss
of a loved one and other challenges. Since 2002, The Foundation’s
volunteers have responded to more than 260,000 requests for assistance
services in the Las Vegas Valley.

The one thing that makes golf fun for me is the challenge of the
game and the comradery of the people I’m paired with. Sometimes it’s
the foursome that I play with once a week or the group that I am paired
with at golf tournaments. And sometimes it’s the strangers that I meet
on the first tee.
If you’re a senior like me who is no longer hitting long drives, please
give the Desert Willow’s Golf Club a chance and see if this Par 60 golf
course offers everything you’d want in golf. The course is in immaculate
shape as our superintendent is doing a magnificent job with the course.
Don’t believe however that the course is easy. It’s not and you will see
what I mean when you hit the 130 yard par 4 and take a bogie because
you 3 putted. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
So do come out and if you see an old guy on the putting green or in
the chipping area smoking a cigar, that’s probably me, so stop by and
say hello.
Next month I will bring you my take on a great Jack Nicholas
designed golf course – Coyote Springs.
