Valentine’s Dinner<br />

A Message From<br />

Al Quiroga<br />

Chairman of the SWCC Board of Governors<br />

Well the Holidays have come and gone. I hope<br />

everyone had a wonderful time, and that the Holidays<br />

brought happiness and joy to you and your family.<br />

Please join me in thanking your Board members<br />

and the Club management for a great year. Your Board<br />

has set the bar very high in 2006, and I hope we are<br />

able to meet or exceed expectations in 20<strong>07</strong>. I look<br />

forward to another year on the Board, and I ask for<br />

your continued support and trust in the Board as we<br />

move forward with the agenda for the New Year.<br />

This year we look forward to completing the<br />

bunker work that has progressed ahead of schedule.<br />

As soon as the bunker work completes, the Member<br />

Capital Fund will begin to accumulate funds, which<br />

allows the Board to consider other improvements<br />

that the members consider their top priority. It is<br />

important to note that the Board recognizes that<br />

although many improvements have been made to the<br />

Club in 2006, there are many other improvements<br />

pending, after all, the Club is now 25 years old. It<br />

is the goal of the Board to be fair and balanced in<br />

approving projects to move forward to provide benefit<br />

to the various Club activities (golf, tennis, athletics,<br />

swimming, and social). Reflecting back on 2006, I<br />

believe the Board has been fair and balanced: The<br />

ballroom was refurbished, added the The 4400 Bar,<br />

added The Deck for dining outdoors, golf course<br />

improvements, refinished the indoor and outdoor<br />

pools, refinished the outdoor tennis courts, replaced<br />

weights and equipment in the Athletics Building, and<br />

expanded the golf and tennis Pro Shop.<br />

As a first order of business in 20<strong>07</strong>, newly<br />

elected Board members will be installed. Each year<br />

the Board holds elections to accomplish two things.<br />

One, to provide a means for members to be elected to<br />

the Board and represent a voice to the Board for the<br />

membership. Newly elected members will be installed<br />

at the January Board meeting. Secondly, Board<br />

members who have fulfilled their terms, or have<br />

reached their term limits are replaced. We welcome<br />

newly elected members, and look forward to the ideas<br />

they bring to the table.<br />

I look forward to another great year of serving on<br />

your Board.<br />

More communiqués to follow, and in the<br />

meantime, enjoy SWCC!<br />

Senior Men's Golf Association<br />

SMGA Club Championship<br />

The Senior Men’s Championship was a two<br />

day tournament played on Oct. 18 & 19.<br />

There were two flights that are named after<br />

the tees from which they are played. The<br />

“White Flight” and the “Gold Flight”. You<br />

have to be seventy years old to play in the Gold<br />

Flight. The golfer having the low gross score<br />

in the white flight is the SMGA Champion<br />

and will have his name added to the plaque<br />

on thesecond floor plus receive a trophy. This<br />

year’s winner is Fred Kahn (Shown on the right<br />

in photo below). In addition, trophies are also<br />

awarded for the low net score in the “White<br />

Flight” (Michael Warner) and the low gross(<br />

Gene Lewis) and low net (Michael Kardoush)<br />

scores in the “Gold Flight”<br />

Practice Area Reminders<br />

We have a wonderful practice facility at <strong>Sweetwater</strong> Country Club. For the safety and courtesy of<br />

your fellow members, please note the following:<br />

1. If stations are set to be on the mats on the front end of the driving range, please hit from the<br />

mats only.<br />

2. Please hit from inside the roped area on the back end of the range. This is for the safety of<br />

everyone practicing. Additionally, please hit from the center of this area so that you don’t<br />

accidentally catch the ropes and injure yourself.<br />

3. Please hit only wedges to the pitching green. It is unsafe to hit full shots to the range from this<br />

area. Please use the range for all full shots.<br />

4. Please do not pitch to the chipping green from the back tee area. It is unsafe to hit wedges to this<br />

green. Chipping, putting, and pitch/run shots are short game shots for this green.<br />

5. Please be observant and considerate of fellow members using the short game areas for practice.<br />

Please try to stay out of range of others…we have had numerous close calls and a few injuries<br />

due to errant shots.<br />

6. Please do not practice in or remove balls from the teaching area reserved for Deb Vangellow, our<br />

Director of Instruction. While it may appear to be “available”, she is likely going to return soon<br />

from an on-course instruction session or a short game lesson session.<br />

7. Please do not practice in the areas set up for a group clinic or instruction session for our<br />

members. While these areas may appear to be “available”, it is likely that the group is preparing<br />

for arrival after an indoor presentation and will be on the practice area shortly thereafter for<br />

the outdoor instruction session.<br />

We appreciate your cooperation and attention to these safety and courtesy reminders. This will<br />

enable all of our members to enjoy our fine practice facilities at <strong>Sweetwater</strong>!<br />

W e l c o m e N e w M e m b e r s<br />

<strong>Sweetwater</strong> welcomes our new members and also thanks our members for their nominations to the Club.<br />
