Operation Locker Room Furniture - A message from Sandi MacDonald

I feel confident in saying we are in love with our "new" locker room! What is not new is the furniture, which is decades old, and if memory serves, was second hand "back in the day". Agreed, we do not spend a great deal of time in there, however, it would be nice to match the furniture with the decor. Dalewood's locker room budget is depleted. Any improvements are on our shoulders. Thus, the fund raising begins!!💲

So, to start off our fund raising efforts, there will be several opportunities at our OPENING FIELD DAY...Saturday, May 26 (and will be repeated for CLOSING).

POT of GOLD: 💰 $5 - Be in the circle, get a % of the POT; not in the circle: Sample Coolers 🍹🍹🍹 in a basket..and a Taylor Made shoe bag. Thanks to Dalewood for these donations.

CASH 💵 draw and gift choices: $5 for 1 or $10 for 4 tickets. CASH will be a % of the total money. Prize choices...watch and earrings...garden tools, a Taylor Made duffle carry bag and a trunk organizer.

50 Grid Squares: 💴 $5 for 1 square...$10 for 4 squares. When the grid is filled, a number is drawn. If your name is in the square, you win a % of the Pot.

JUNE, JULY, AUGUST

Mini Grid Toonie Tuesdays.💲💲💲

A grid of 20 squares will be on the counter. $2 a square. If we can fill more than one, we will continue until month end. A percentage of pot will be given.

And more to come. In the meantime, please save any regift types of items, gently used books, etc.

See you Saturday.!!⛳️🏌️‍♀️😎

And a reminder, a collection 💵💵💰for our retiring "wee lass" Iris is happening. Our donations will be pooled with other sections of Dalewood. Joy Vogt is your go to person. She will set up a spot at Registration and again before dinner.

And, it goes without saying, participation is entirely your choice. As well, any suggestions💡💡 gladly accepted.

It appears that the eggs are hatched - good luck, Mother Robin!

Weather has certainly played havoc with golf this spring. Donna Todd was willing to give us a first hand lesson about how soft and wet the creek banks are when you are reaching for a ball in the creek.

Mother's Day weather had a little bit of everything - sun, showers, hard rain, lightning, and hail. Thankfully that's not snow on the tees!

The Team Play draw was completed on Tuesday evening. Thanks for the pictures, Lynn Attley. First Team Play is next Tuesday - Go Teams!

As of last Tuesday, she had three beautiful eggs to look after.

Opening Meeting

Our Golf season has gotten off to soggy start, but that didn't deter our enthusiastic executive from hosting our annual spring meeting on May 6. Brad Pemberton welcomed us back and we congratulate him on his new position as Head Pro at Dalewood. He will be running some womens' clinics again this spring, so watch for the posters.

We had another terrific presentation of pictures and music by our talented Lynn Attley. Then Patty McDonald, our President, had some comments about the upcoming season and the importance of friendship in golf. She also welcomed five new members. Then turned the agenda over to the various members of the executive and convenors.

Games Captain Barb Pemberton congratulated Betty Bright on her accomplishment last season with the presentation of a Break 100 pin.

We had our usual vendor displays, sales, and fashion show with our lovely models:  Jane Gibbens, Linda MacDonald, Diane Moffat, and Susan Ross-Foster.

And here are pictures of some of our members enjoying the spring get together. My apologies if I missed you.

And lastly, Joan Hayward sent me a picture of our determined (and a little dumb) robin who keeps building her nest in the water dispenser on #3. Every year she tries and every year she fails!! Maybe she's a golfer at heart?

Flooding

Thanks to Sandi MacDonald-Wangen, we know why the course is closed.

 How depressing!
