STARKVILLE COUNTRY CLUB

NEWSLETTER

AUGUST  2004

 

            It has been a busy summer.  We have made many changes.  One of the changes included the design of the Starkville Country Club web page.  The web page is located at    One of the biggest challenges with the web page will be keeping the information current.  To aid us in doing so, we are in the process of improving our computer set-up at the Club.  So please bear with us. 

            A great way to communicate with members about upcoming events is the use of e-mail.  If we do not have your current e-mail address, please submit your address to Club staff at your earliest convenience.  You can leave it at the pro shop or send it to   

            Starting in September, to encourage members to be part of Starkville Country Club’s e-mail address book, a drawing will be held once a month giving away one free Sunday Buffet. (Any member who does not have an e-mail address can still participate in the drawing.  Please contact Club staff to have your name added.)

FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

We are having a great year so far at SCC in 2004.  Be sure to thank Scott and all of his employees every chance you get because without them we have no Club.  I want to remind everyone of the active committees we have here at SCC and would strongly encourage you, if so inclined, to get involved with one or more of them.  The committees and board member liaisons are as follows:

 

Tournament -  Roger Smith                          Rules -  Bill Robinson   

Social -   Larry Tabor                                                Tennis - Bobby Crosland

Pool -   Mike Andrews                                              Membership - Mary Howard

Finance/Long Range Planning  - Emmett Smitherman

Greens - Bay Black/Blair McKinley

 

We will be working real hard to schedule some activities in the Fall/Winter.  If you have any suggestions, please let us know.  Your continued participation in the Club activities is crucial to our success going forward.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                Bobby Crosland

FOR ALL WOMEN INTERESTED IN GOLF

 

Women’s Golf is growing at Starkville Country Club... and we would like for it to grow more.  All levels of experience are welcome... our objective is simple, to have fun.  We would like to remind you of the following activities and encourage all who are interested in the game of golf, having a good time, or just being with a really great group of women, to come out.

Group Lessons: Wednesday afternoon 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  The cost is just $10.   Great for beginners to help with the basics and for the more experienced to improve their game.

Thursday Scramble: We tee off at 5:30 PM and play at scramble format.  Very relaxed and fun for all levels of play.

 

 

Women’s club Championship: August 28, 29

Everyone is invited to participate.  The best way to get better at golf is to play golf.  Sign up now in the pro shop for this 2-day tournament.

Women’s Golf Association Meeting: Thursday, August 12

All women interested in golf are encouraged to attend this re-organizational meeting.  We need your input and ideas on expanding our membership and activities.  More tournaments? A group play in the mornings?  More fun activities or socials? (This date is a change due to conflict at club on August 5.)

We need your help!

Our fundraiser for the year will be manning the concession stand during the upcoming James McKenzie Memorial 3 Man Scramble on August 14 and 15.  Anyone interested in helping please call Mary Howard at 324-4743 or after 6:00 at 323-6830.
