A Note from Maureen

February and Valentines Day (that means chocolate!) and hopefully beautiful sunny days for golf. Due to a scheduling conflict the date for our Invitational has been moved from May 8th to May 15th. Your hard-working Grape Escape team have met twice this year and planning is well underway for this event. The entry fee will be the same as last year -- $89.

Looking forward to March as we start our Club Championship on the 10th and April brings us to our beloved DDM Days. So much to look forward to!

Don't forget to sign up for our first General Meeting of the year on February 24th.
I'll see you on the Tee!

A Note From Maureen

Happy 2009 Everyone! We begin the New Year with our first Ace of the Month and Skins game January 6th. Another year to shine and whine! I must try and do more “shining.” Our first PRWGA Board meeting is January 13th after golf. We’re going to get organized and ready for a fun-filled year.

Don’t forget to grab your partner and sign up for Couples Tournament Sunday January 11th.

Until I see you all, here is my New Year’s wish for you:

“A happy New Year! Grant that I may bring no tear to any eye when this
New Year in time shall end. Let it be said I’ve played the friend, have lived and
Loved and labored here, and made of it a happy year.” -- Edgar Guest

See you on the tee!

Maureen
