Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of April 26th thru May 1st
Ladies Team Play;
Tomorrow kicks off the home defense of our Ladies. They will be hosting the ladies from Antelope Valley Country Club in team play at 9:00. Our Ladies have had one match so far this year travelling to Crystalaire Country Club and beating them handily. The tee will close at 8:30 and should clear at about 10:30 for other play.
Japanese Tsunami Fundraiser;
As many of you know we are having a fundraiser for the Tsunami Survivors on Monday the 9th. Erikos father’s side of the family is from one of the hardest hit areas, Sendai. The donation to play in the event is $200 per player. Please call us if you are interested in playing as an individual or bringing a team out here! Thanks for your support! All proceeds will be going to the Japanese Red Cross, Eriko and her sister will take the money directly to the Japanese Consulate to make sure that the money gets to the people that need it most!
Wednesday Match Play;
Well, it seems that Wednesday Match Play is a hit. Our current standings are on the Member’s portion of the Valencia Country Club Website. Currently Doc Herring’s team has a slim lead over Chris Chase’s Team and Calvin Hedman’s squad. Captains, please get your line-ups in early so it isn’t a total goat rope trying to get everything organized right at 4:30. Players, please check in to the Pro Shop when you get here so we aren’t trying to call all of you at 4:25 wondering where you are.
Men’s Club Championship;
Ok, start cramming, the Club Championship is this weekend. We will be accepting sign-ups until Wednesday at 5:00! The Championship Flight will play 72 holes over 3 days and the Net Flight will compete over 36 holes on the weekend. Call the Shop if you have any questions. We will be teeing the event on Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 so you will still have the bulk of your day to spend with the family.
Spring Member Trip;
The Robert Trent Jones Trail is in our radar. We are inside of a month before the trip. We have 17 people going right now and we will have to Roshambo over who will not be able to participate on the trip. Actually it would be great if we could get 3 more people to go on our trip to get it into even 4-somes. If you are interested in participating please call me in the Shop, or send me an email!!
Weekday Junior Programs;
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we have programs scheduled for the Valencia Country Club Juniors. Tuesday is for the age groups 4-7, Wednesday is for age groups 8-12 and Thursday is for those children that are ready to get out on the golf course with the Pros. All of these programs are great opportunities for the Juniors to get to know each other and build friendships for life.
Deliquescent Demo Day;
Next weekend we are starting our first annual Deliquescent Demo Day! This event will be open to the Public and you will see signage around town and in the paper. Please bring your friends or just come out by yourself. We will be having a BBQ on the back of the range just to clutter it up even more. We will have every major brand of Golf Club visiting us that day! Please carve out some time and check out, side by side the best product out there to take you to that next level!

The Weekend Release
Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of April 5th thru April 10th
April Aerification;
We are into our first full week of April and it looks as if the temperature is starting to cooperate. We live in a wind tunnel but at least we are starting to see the 70’s and 80’s and i’m not talking about the way that i dress. This is the time of the year that we call transition. Our cool season grass is growing and our dormant warm season grass is starting to come out of it’s hibernation. Jesus and the gang are starting to bail hay out there. This is also the time that we encourage our poa greens to grow their roots. We will lose the health of the plant over the summer so now is the time that we really have to get it healthy as poa annua is a cool season grass. We will be aerifying this week. Tuesday we will be closed on the back nine while we aerify. Wednesday the front nine will be closed while we aerify. Aerification opens up the green canopy and the ground surface. We put sand down into holes anywhere from 3 to 5 inches deep. This sand softens the profile and encourages root grown by getting water deeper into the green profile. All this will be in my book, “How to make your Members fall asleep at work.”
Member Junior;
Our Member Junior was held Saturday over 9 holes. Thank you to everybody that showed up for the day and to Jill for organizing everything. Our Net Champions are Dave and Ashley Mayhall. Our Gross Champions are Dave and Danny DiMaria. The future of Valencia Country Club golf sure looks promising.
Men’s Club Championship;
Sign ups for the Men’s Club Championship are up in the locker room. As there has been in the past, we have 2 flights. We will have the overall Gross Champion and the Net Champion. The Gross Championship will be competed over 3 days, Friday thru Sunday. The Net Championship will be competed Saturday and Sunday. The Club Championship will be April 29th, 30th and May 1st. Please call the Shop if you want to sign up and can’t get by the Club.
Spring Member Trip;
Matthew and I are putting together a spring trip to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Courses in Alabama. We are looking at setting this up in mid to late May. We are doing some final touches, but should have everything finished by the end of this week. Please call the shop or talk to us if you are interested in joining us. We are looking to bring 14 Members on this event.
Spring Swing School;
Marvin will be continuing his Saturday Swing School this weekend. This weekend will be focused on chipping. The program runs from 2:00 to 3:00. Please call the shop if you are interested in participating or just show up. One of the unique things that we are doing with our programs here is that we offer a free review the following week in order to reinforce the things we are working on. Don’t miss out on the foundation of the short game, chipping.
