Is the most important human characteristic Is a universal language Instills a positive feeling and makes the world a better place to live in Is the single most important factor for success in life Is a vital way of making our own lives and the lives of others meaningful Kindness has a powerful impact on one’s life. Have you ever noticed how uplifted YOU ARE when you show kindness to others? The giver and the receiver both are happy. A win win as they say! Then why don’t we practice kindness every minute of every day? I personally think it is because we are so busy going about our day, focusing on what we think we need to accomplish, that we lose sight of the little things that make others happy, not to mention ourselves. Does it really take any extra time to be kind to someone? One little act could make someone’s day. A smile, a hug, a compliment, a word of encouragement, the list is endless. Think about all the times someone has gone out of their way to do something nice for you. You know, those Random Acts of Kindness! How did it make you feel? Imagine what it would be like if everyone was kind to everyone and everything? I read that “kindness is a true source deep within us, and while some people are innately kind, it’s something that everyone can cultivate by choice.” So, this year I am joining The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation and becoming a RAKtivist. “They truly believe that kindness can change the world and exemplify that in their day-to-day lives. They reach out to others and not just talk the talk, but use their limbs to walk the walk.” My goal this year is to create a community for kindness to flourish. Anybody want to join me? Wherever you are and whatever you are doing INSPIRE KINDNESS. Make someone’s day and remember…. “Kindness as an attitude is infectious. When you’re willing to share your kindness, others will be inspired by your example and think about something as kind themselves. So let’s fan the flame by being kind to everyone!” 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Managing Owners/Staff 4 PGA Staff Members & Lesson Info 5 – 8 Membership Perks 9 2013 Champions of Golf 10 General Information 11 – 14 Junior Member Information 15 Local Rules 16 League Information 17 Tournament Policies and Procedures 18 – 19 2014 Tournament Summaries 20 – 36 Member Survey 37 – 38 3 OWNERS & STAFF It is our sincere desire to provide you with a place where you can gather and experience the warmth of friendship, the friendly spirit of competition and a cozy atmosphere in which to relax and dine.

The PGA Trade-In Network presents ongoing opportunities for golfers to trade in obsolete clubs for credit to modernize and purchase new equipment more economically. Players who are fit by a PGA Professional are able to drive the ball straighter and longer; hit all shots more accurately; have noticeably better distance control; and shave strokes with better short game execution. Bring in your used equipment and based on fair market values from the PGA.com Value Guide, the National Standard for Golf Club Value, you will be issued a credit towards the purchase of new clubs for the 2013 season.
