JUNE 2022

Dear MCC Members: Hope you are enjoying our hot summer. I forget just how hot it gets. Please be safe whether on the golf course, tennis courts, or anywhere outside and keep hydrated.

I’d like to thank the membership for helping with the dress code. Members and guests were dressed so well for Mother’s Day last month; I received so many positive comments from members who noticed. Your continued help in this matter is truly appreciated.

Also, speaking of dress code, please remember to dress appropriately for the pool. Swimwear that is too revealing is considered inappropriate for MCC. As I mentioned last month, starting June 1st, we will be opening for breakfast in the Roost, Hickory and Patio at 8:00am Tuesday – Friday and the usual 7:30am Saturday and Sunday. Please support your club so we can continue with these hours when summer is over.

I have many members ask about the weekly buffet as well. In September we will begin the lunch buffet. We will start with 1 or 2 days per week and see how well it is supported before expanding. Sunday Brunch has been so popular – a huge thank you to the membership for their support as well as Chef Temoshi, Veronica and their staff for their hard work. I’ll keep you posted with more details in the upcoming months.

Also, a HUGE thank you to Jim Thompson and Palmer Steel for help with the bridge spanning the canal on #3. Based on its appearance before being disassembled, I can say with certainty that the club got every minute’s use from it. The work is still in progress, but hopefully completed soon.

Please notice that the silverware for member dining has been replaced with sturdier, higher quality utensils. I know it was a long time coming, but certainly necessary. Come dine with us and tell me what you think.

Lastly, a huge congratulations to all of this month’s graduates. Take a second to enjoy your accomplishment, soon your parents will be saying "Get a job." Just kidding…have a great summer.

I look forward to seeing you around your club, and be safe,

Jeff

Sending our deepest condolences to The Risica Family Just a few reminders: The club will be open on Monday, June 20th in observance of the Federal Holiday.

As Jeff mentioned, MCC will begin serving breakfast at 8am starting June 1st Tuesday – Friday. Saturday and Sunday breakfast will begin at 7:30am with Sunday Brunch at 11am.

It’s summertime and the pool is open, please see the pool hours on page 9. Just a reminder the pool is closed on Mondays for maintenance. Please remember to dress appropriately for the pool.

Any swimwear that is too revealing is considered inappropriate for MCC. Please be reminded that children of members, not over the age of 25 years may enjoy the same privileges of the Club on their parent’s membership. Children 25 years and older must be accompanied by their parents or apply for their own membership. Ask us about the Legacy Membership for your adult children.

DINING

Dear MCC Members: I want to start by touching on what the entire world seems to be fixated on right now: inflation. We know prices are at all-time highs from fertilizer, grains, beef, plastics, and even labor. Our top priority remains ensuring that our members receive the best products and services.

These times call for problem solving at a moment’s notice. If herbs are expensive, we will grow them ourselves. If we can’t find products at reasonable prices, we have many sources to find what we need.

Some of you have wondered what I’ve been doing by hole #10 in the Spring. If you don’t know, we have a Mulberry tree! Now this will not allow us to make jam all year, but when it is available it makes for a great spread on house made Hokkaido Milk Bread. Yes, we will be making house made breads.

TURES FEA

We have made Irish Soda Bread, Hokkaido Milk Bread, and even Potato Yeast Doughnuts. So many good things happening in the kitchen lately and it has invigorated the dining rooms. From Sunday brunch which usually reaches maximum capacity, to a bustling Wine Down Wednesday, it’s not all doom and gloom. We just need to look up and see the overabundance, it just might not look like what we are used to. That’s a good thing.

Golf at MCC Dear MCC Members: The 2022 Member-Guest – The Majors at McAllen is officially in the books.

After one hard day on the links, the team of Matt Toney and his guest, Rene Garcia, scored big. Their team was able to navigate the difficult final day and win the 2022 Member-Guest; finishing at -1.25. Finishing in second place, with a score of -7.25, was the team of Ismael “Kino” Flores and guest, Bobby Pulido Jr.. In third, the team of Mark Southwell and guest, Jason Odette, made a good run up the leaderboard to finish at -9.25. Tony Trad Jr. and guest, Ricardo Samar, finished in fourth place with a total of -11.5. There were two holes-in-one during the event. Arnold Curiel’s guest, Luke Antonelli, aced the 15th hole to win $10,000 on Friday. In the final round, Owen Stewart’s guest, Andre Douglas, aced the 8th hole.

These guys were pulling out all the stops… Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone who participated. These events are put together with the hardwork of the Tournament Committee, Bradley Stephens and Tony Trad Jr., and of course the staff at McAllen Country Club. Patrick and his crew, Temoshi and his staff, Veronica and her staff and my crew; your MCC team doing their best.
