Susie Welker We had four Wednesdays of very interesting and fun games during the month of March, even though the weather was scorching for a couple of these! Many of us braved the heat and learned all about “shade hopping” on the PV golf course. That “side game” made golfing in 100 degrees more bearable…
Jim Wegman, Publicity The Hamilton High fund raiser, held on March 3, was a major success and it was all due to our volunteers. Our president, Jerry Richards, put in many hours of planning and, with his board, made the meeting great! Thank you volunteers and well-done Mr. President. WINNERS 3/05. Best Balls par 3-4-5…
Jim Wegman, Publicity Even though the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter for the country, here in Sun Lakes, the sun keeps shining and the temperatures keep climbing over the 70– to 80-degree mark. So, tee it up! It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of our friend Jorden Primack.…
Jim Wegman, Publicity The holidays are here and gone. You have opened all the packages, checked out the new golf clubs, new balls, and those cool golf clothes. Well, it is time to look ahead to the new year and get back to serious golf. By serious golf, I mean the tournaments: Bill Slattery and…
Susie Welker The Palo Verde Niners enjoyed some great golf during the months of November and December. Our game formats are varied and afford us much fun on the links! We now have 35 ladies on our roster. It has been lovely to make some new friends both on and off the golf course. The…

Jim Wegman, Publicity Holy cow! August is gone already, and there is talk of the overseeding period coming up. You know, when the courses are undergoing the big work, conditions are sometimes difficult. This year the bunkers will be less of a problem. The Bunker Project here in Oakwood is nearing completion. So, a tip…
Jim Wegman, Publicity Yup, it is hot on the course and getting hotter. Our earlier starting time is helping, but now is the time to think about hydration. Hydrate the day/night before and during the round. A sports drink is a good choice, as it contains electrolytes. Water is the bare minimum for keeping the…
Jim Wegman, Publicity Summer is on its way, so be sun-smart right away. Hats that cover the ears, sunblock on all exposed skin, and gauntlets that cover the arms from your wrists up to the shirt sleeves is a good start. Do not forget your ears, nose, and those exposed legs. Gentlemen, sadly I must…
Jim Wegman, Publicity Our two March events are in the books. The events provided an $8,000 donation to the Hamilton High School Golf program. A big thank you to all the members who pitched in and all the sponsors whose donations made it possible. At the luncheon, Niners President Jerry Richards presented a Thank You…
