We are approaching the halfway point in our 2022/2023 season and hopefully are going to be experiencing the type of weather that we all live here for in the coming weeks. Our weather pattern has not been ideal in the last six weeks as we have experienced numerous frost delays and some colder temps than we have grown accustomed to here in the desert However, even with the colder day time temperatures the action on the golf course has been heating up, and we have already crowned a few champions of the 2022/2023 season!
