Rocky Bayou Country Club

We’ve had a great team of ladies hosting this summer; thanks for helping out.  It’s nice to have a lot of volunteers in the summer to give the regular committee a break.  Remember, if you’ve signed-up to work on a Tuesday, please be at the club by 8 AM to set-up for registration.

Mark you calendars - We’re starting Sunday Pot Luck Suppers on July 25 @ 5pm.  Bring your favorite dish to share.  We’ll have a 9-hole, Twilight-style golf game starting @ 3pm before dinner, for those interested.  There will be a sign-up sheet in the lounge soon.  Those who want to play 18 holes, can make arrangements with the Proshop to play the back 9 before the group game.  You do not have to play golf to participate in the Pot Luck.  Hope to see you all there!

I have most of the positions for next year’s board filled.  Theyare as follows:

• LGA Golf rep:  Carol Elliott

I am still looking for Archives and Parliamentarian, anyone interested please let me know.  I want to thank all those who have offered to help in the 2010-2011 golfing year.  We will be posting our tournament schedule soon, Bonnie is working with Andy,Wayne and Bonney to make certain we have no conflicting events.  Look for a published schedule soon.  I will be organizing a transition meeting in July to assist those coming in new to their positions.  We will learn from and share ideas from past committee chairmen to help each of us to get off to a good start in the new year.

Good Morning Ladies,

We have received the end of the year standings for 2009-10 Interclub (total points are below).  We pretty much held 4th place most of the year.  Eglin beat out Regatta Bay this year but Foxwood really came in with a strong finish.

Sarah Breckenridge will be your new Interclub leader next season and she is shopping for our new look as we speak.   I want to thank each of you for your participation this year and past years.  Hope to see ALL of you again next season and maybe some new faces.

Sarah will be keeping you informed of all the NEW information from here on out.  I have really enjoyed working with all of you………. RBCC LGA ROCKS!!!  We had full teams every time this year, rain or shine, cold (freezing) or hot (sweltering), THAT says a lot of you, ladies.  It REALLY is appreciated….THANK YOU!!

Blessings and be well,

Beth

EMERALD COAST     LADIES        INTERCLUB        LEAGUE

Thanks to all of you who played today – it was a good group for the first day of summer play.  As previously stated we will be playing “Best 9 Holes” with 1/2 handicap throughout the summer.  All RBCC adult female members are welcome to participate.  $1 for the pot, $.25 for chip-ins (optional).   We finally had a chip-in after several weeks of having none.  Congratulations to Pat McNeil! You may need to get a body guard to protect all your loot!

The sign-up sheet for the Presidents’ Cup have gone up in the lounge.  This is a GREAT match play tournament – and you can’t beat the price – it’s FREE!  We always need more ladies – this tournament is open to all RBCC members.  Men play against men and ladies play against ladies.  You will be assigned to a team.  It’s much more fun if we have players from all handicap brackets.  Please join us!

Also, the sign-up sheet is posted for the Presidents’ Dinner on June 26.  It’s only $20++ per person – and we’re serving Chateaubriand!  It promises to be a FUN evening!  Let’s show our support for Carol as she leaves her post as RBCC President!

June 1 begins our casual play for the summer.  Bring $1 for the pot and a quarter for chip-ins.  We will be playing “Best 9 Holes” with 1/2 handicap. This allows us to adjust the number of holes we play based on ability and the weather.  Since summer play is more casual, we ask you to take a turn with registration.  See Gloria Hall to get on the calendar.  If you’ve not done the pairings before, we’ll team you with someone who is experienced.  If you have RBCC friends who have been reluctant to join us in the past, encourage them to try us out in the summer.  You don’t need to join the LGA to play in the summer, just be an adult female member of Rocky.  It’s also a good time to establish a handicap for those who haven’t done so.

The Club Championship is over and the results are attached – congratulations to all winners.  And a huge thank you to our board for a wonderful tournament!

Next week, May 25, will be our last day of play for our regular season, along with our end of the year awards luncheon.  All members of the LGA – social and golfing – are encouraged to attend.  If you haven’t sign-up for lunch, contact Wanda or Brenda Meeboer.

Our game on Tuesday will be our 2nd Annual RBCC-LGA Goofy Golf Day.  Bonnie Weideman has promised another day of fun - and funny - golf.  Don’t miss it!

June 1 begins our summer, casual golf.  All female members of RBCC are encouraged to attend.  Bring $1 for the pot and join us!

Next Tuesday, May 11, begins our 2-day Club Championship Tournament.  The tournament continues on Tuesday, May 18, and we will have our end-of-the year luncheon and awards on May 25.  Sign-up sheets for both the tournament and luncheon are in the ladies’ lounge.  There is no fee for the tournament, and the luncheon will be charged to your account.  Don’t miss out – sign-up soon.  All LGA members, both golfing and social, are welcome and encouraged to attend.  Let’s make this the highlight of our season!

If May 25 is not needed as a rain-date for the tournament, your weekly play committee has planned a special round of Rocky-style “Goofy Golf!”  You don’t want to miss that either!

Other events posted for registration in the clubhouse lounge at the current time are Friday’s Twilight Golf and Happy Hour Dinner, our Mother’s Day Brunch, the Mother’s Day Mixer and the Club Presidents’ Dinner scheduled for May 22.  You don’t want to miss any of these events; all have limited space available.
