QUALIFY IN JUNE!
Georgetown Cup
The annual Georgetown Cup is a 3-day competition between Sun City Texas, Berry Creek CC, Cimarron Hills CC and Georgetown CC. Each club sends a team that includes men and women to compete in this event. The format is Four-ball. The event is scheduled Friday - Sunday, August 23 - 25. The courses to be played this year are White Wing, Berry Creek CC and Cimarron Hills CC.
Qualifying
The qualifying process in currently under way and will run through the end of June. There will be no additional fees above normal green fees to try and qualify. If you’d like to try and qualify you may play a round at White Wing any day during June. You must have the scorecard signed and attested by another player, but it doesn’t have to be someone else trying to qualify.
Competition Fee & Dinner
Please note that there will be a fee for those that end up participating. This fee has been adjusted to $150. This will include dinner, three rounds of golf and two team shirts. We are also obtaining some sponsor money in an effort to add a better overall experience. What a great deal! Spouses will be invited to dinner as well at an additional cost of $20. The dinner has been moved to Saturday, August 24, after the second round, and will be held at Georgetown CC.

We were finally able to obtain the sod we needed and it has now been installed. We still plan to reopen the front 9 this coming Monday, June 17. It is likely that the sod will not be ready for play so these areas will be marked as Ground under Repair.

Kudos to Some Awesome CA Employees
A shout-out goes to Reagan Olson, Cowan Creek Superintendent; Josh Lockhart, Head Golf Professional at Cowan Creek; and Mike Novick, Player Services at Cowan Creek for driving to Bay City, Texas to pick up the sod.
They left at 5 a.m. and made it back at 7 p.m. Their extra effort ensured immediate installation of sod, instead of having to wait a few more weeks.

Golf Carts and Grandkids: Just Say NO! |
|
Many grandchildren will be in our community for Junior Camp and during the summer and there will be a temptation to allow them to drive a golf cart. It is against the law and extremely dangerous for anyone under the age of 16 and/or anyone without a driver’s license to drive a golf cart. Please, DO NOT let grandkids get behind the wheel; Georgetown police officers may issue you a ticket. |
