Just a quick note to let everyone know that beginning August 1 we will have a change in hours for golf and the golf shop.

On August 1 the first tee time will move from 7:00 AM to 6:30 AM.

The new hours for the Golf Shop will be 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

These hours should remain in effect until the golf course closes for overseeding on October 5.

RRGC Ladies Member-Guest

It's now time to play catch up. The next few postings will bring us up to date (hopefully) on several of the events that have occurred at RRGC.

Here's the first one:

The Robson Ranch Ladies Golf Association conducted their first Member-Guest golf tournament on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 at the Robson Ranch Golf Club. The event was utilized as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Komen is a United States-wide organization that supports breast cancer research. The event raised over $2,100 for cancer research through donations, “mulligans” and raffles.

The tournament was conducted as a two person scramble over 18 holes with each player’s tee shot being used a minimum of four times. The top five finishers were as follows:

Pam Costner/Teresa Densley 70
Adele Wolyn/Phyllis Weber 72
Jean DeChristopher/Dee Lee 77
Terry Fondurulia/Carla Hill 78
Brenda Wedin/Margaret Erickson 79

Robson Ranch is a part of the Robson Resort Communities. The facility is located in Casa Grande/Eloy, AZ and is ideally situated halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. All Robson Communities feature an Active Adult Lifestyle which includes one or more golf courses.

Who Beat the Pro?!

During the month of January both the Men’s Club and Ladies Club at Robson Ranch conducted their seasonal Beat the Pro Matches. The golf was good and the excitement was spellbinding. And it must be said that the ladies fared far better than the men.

With twenty-one ladies competing ten shot a net score lower than the professional’s gross score of 74. The winners were:

Barb Chmilar - 66
Jan Brown – 68
Linda Carlberg – 69
Fran Fowler - 70
Pam Costner – 71
Sue Hart – 71
Kay Jacobs – 71
Glady Miller – 71
Dell Hoff – 73
Fran Schwatrz – 73

Congrats to all the ladies for their fine play.

The men, however, were another story. Of forty-two competitors only one was able to shoot a net score lower than the pro’s 66. The winner was…

Paul Hoff – 65

Congrats, Paul! A job well done.
