McAllen Country Club June Newsletter 2023
Dear MCC Members,
Pool house / Tennis renovation continues with its completion on the horizon A special thank you to the Sports Committee for their time, energy, and effort in making the project a success We’re still sticking with the late June completion date
Also, I’d like to mention the promotion of Juan Solis from waiter to Dining Room Manager. Juan has been with the club for over 15 years. Congratulations Juan! I’m so excited for you joining the MCC management team.
Joining Juan is Judith Moreno as the other Dining Room Manager She has a world of experience in the area of private clubs, having worked for ClubCorp and area hotels I know she will make a great addition
Their responsibilities include supervising all waitstaff and bartenders, hiring, training, and accountability of the service staff My directive is to take service from good to consistently stellar. I know they will contribute to enhancing the member experience.
If you haven’t already, please sign up for CLUBSTER. We are transitioning to this club-specific, member only app which allows us to communicate with our members in real time.
Lastly, we continue with a full membership with a waitlist As I’ve stated many times: what a great time to be a member of McAllen Country Club
With that, I look forward to seeing you around your club, Jeff

The storm on April 28th -29th was one to remember. It has been a long time since we have had a major storm do as much damage to the course as this one did. I want to thank
Patrick and his crew for doing an amazing job The course looks great There are still a few tree branches that need to be taken down as well as trees that will be removed. A big thank you to Jacinto “Tato” Tamez for lending the club his dump trailer. This really allowed Patrick to get the course ready faster than expected.
The damages to the course forced us to cancel the final round of the Member-Guest
The two round total will be the official final scores for the 2023 Member-Guest Congratulations to Sameer Wadhwani and his guest, Temo De La Fuente!!
We have a new name to add to the hole-in-one list. During the practice round of the Member-Guest, Dr Giraldo aced the 8 th hole; his first at the club Congratulations, Doc!!
Dr. Alvaro Rodriguez, Dr. Oscar Alvarez, Dr. Juan Guardia witnessed the hole-in-one.
