GOLF AT THE GOLF CLUB AT DOVE MOUNTAIN

Golf Corner

Jake Hermes

We are officially entering summertime in the Sonoran Desert, leaving behind a very eventful May and heading towards the slower season over the next few months. Dove Mountain was the beneficiary of a very unusual weather month where we did not see temps crack the triple digit mark and saw some measurable rain and had some high humidity to help growth on the course and on the greens after aerification. The result is our Wild Burro and Tortolita nines looking and playing at a very high level still, and the amazing blooms that the cacti provide us this time of year. I hope that you all continue to try and beat the heat by enjoying cooler morning temps and some fantastic conditions here at Dove.

We had two Member Events in the month of May which were very well attended, and we had some very good golf played during competition.

The Sayonara Saguaro Scramble took place on Cinco de Mayo and was our last Club hosted member event on Saguaro prior to the major renovation project that began on May 22nd. Below are the results from the event:

1st Place – Joe and Deborah Donchess/Stan and Adriana Ross

2nd Place – John and Kim Hillman/Vinnie and Elena Abucewicz

3rd Place - Kit and Alison Nidever/Thomas and Sandy Kennedy

4th Place – Barry and Adele Tiller/Joe and Diane Wolf

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed this final 9&Wine event and we look forward to reopening Saguaro with a fun filled event in the Spring

Our other May event was the Member/Staff Golf Outing on Thursday, May 11th. We had 28 members play with sevenof our golf staff members in a Step-Aside-Scramble format.Our staff greatly enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with our Members on the golf course. In the end, one team was victorious, and you could hear them having fun all day!

Congratulationsto John & Kim Klippstein, Eve McDermott, and Eileen Vollaro who teamed up with our Director of GolfJake Hermes to shoot 19 under par for the tournament. Our runner-up finishers were Bob & Margo Unthank, LuAnne Johnson, Hugo Folli, and our Assistant Golf ProfessionalDylan Healey.

We are looking forward to the following Member Events coming up in June!
