The first part of November is when the golf course has dried up from the water used during overseeding. The ground is firm enough to allow the golf carts off the paths and onto the fairways. Cart traffic has been controlled the last few years using a system of blue stakes to direct golf carts on and off the paths. This would be a good time to refresh everyone on the rules associated with the blue stake gates to help minimize confusion.

Each hole will have a set of blue stakes at the start of the hole and at the end of the hole. These are “gates” where golf carts will pass through to both leave and return to the cart path. Once the cart leaves the path through the gate it will drive straight to the fairway. The cart will remain in the fairway until it reaches the other end of the fairway where it will leave through the exit gate. However, if driving the rest of the fairway is unnecessary, then exit at any time 90 degrees straight to the cart path.

One big change this year is to holes #2 and #9. Those holes suffer considerable turf damage from carts each winter, so the traffic control needs to change. Now there will be designated areas where carts will be allowed. Carts will not be allowed to drive the length of these two fairways anymore. Hopefully, this will cause a smaller area of damage and protect the rest of the hole.

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2022-2023 Men’s Nine-Hole season. We are looking forward to a great season. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events: the first Burger Bash and league meeting Thursday, November 10; a league meeting and Burger Bash on February 9; our annual three-day club championship March 9, 16 and 23; and our final meeting, burger bash and awards ceremony April 6. We are also going to SaddleBrooke for the first part of Home and Away February 8 and SaddleBrooke comes to The Views March 2.

For now, our meetings and burger bashes will be on the grassy area next to The Views Restaurant as we did last year. We hope to be able to go back inside the new Auditorium by our last meeting in April.

If you are sitting on the fence wondering about joining the Nine-Hole league, jump off and come join us. Joining is easy to do and can be done from the comfort of your home. You will need a handicap, so be sure to join the Arizona Golf Association and start getting those scores in.

We play Thursday mornings with a shotgun start and a $4 ante, so we are usually finished by mid-to late morning.

Good fun and only one or two of us take golf seriously.
