IT'S GETTING PRETTY EXCITING OUT HERE!

We just put out the sod around the new short-game practice area.  We will put sprigs on the green surface soon and will hopefully have it open for the grand opening--WHICH IS NOW JUST 64 DAYS AWAY!!

The grand opening party for our current members is scheduled for Saturday, July 4th.  We are planning to do a shotgun start at 10:00am.  We will spend this month planning the firm schedule and all the other festivities and we will update everyone in the next newsletter.

The grow-in on the front nine is going well.  The rain and warmer night-time temperatures has been very beneficial.  When we get some sunshine I will upload some new pictures so keep an eye on the website.

We got our Men's handicap course ratings back from the TXGA and should have the women's in the next few weeks.  You can now establish your handicap here at Vaaler Creek for $25 per year.  The men's ratings are:

Gold tees:  73.0 / 140

Blue tees: 70.6 / 129

White tees: 68.6 / 121

MONTHLY SCRAMBLE

Our monthly scramble is scheduled for Saturday, May 16th.  Hopefully, we can finally get some good weather!  This will be a 1:00pm shotgun start this month since the days are getting longer.  The entry fee will be $40 per person and it will include 18 holes of golf with cart, range balls, one drink ticket per player, prizes for the top three teams, prizes for closest-to-the-pin and long drive, and food after the round.  Mulligans will be available for purchase (each one comes with an additional drink ticket) and there will be on-course contests as well.  To sign up please reply to this email or contact the golf shop.  You can sign up a full team or as an individual and we'll pair you up.

Beer Sales

We now have our Beer & Wine retailer's permit up and running.  Therefore, outside beverages will no longer be able to be allowed on the golf course.
