July 2, 2003: SOAPBOX:  Gentlemen
(and ladies, I guess) this is my personal appeal to all of our golfers
to repair ball marks on the greens. These pictures were taken
about 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening, July 1st, after a full day of men's
day golf. It is the front 15' or so of #1 green, and the number of
ballmarks present is
incredible! I quit counting after I reached 40. None of
these marks are the big ones created by a high, falling wedge
shot. Most are the kind created when a lower shot (5 iron?) hits
on and skips forward several feet. Everyone needs to realize that
those shots create ball marks as well. I'm begging everyone to please,
please, please, repair your ball mark any time your ball lands on
the green. And, while you've got that divot tool in your
hand, see if you can fix a few others while you're at it. Click
the pictures for the larger version to get the full idea. Thanks
for indulging me. (Dennis)

Mac Green was elected President, along with Vice President - Chris Day, Secretary - Chris McElyea and Treasurer - John Watts. Congratulations to these gentlemen, and wish them clear judgment as they take over the reins. November 19, 2002 Lifetime Membership  Mr.
C.C. Blair was honored with an honorary lifetime membership to Lake
Valley recently by the Board of Directors, for his "Vision, Wisdom,
Dedication, and Perseverance Since Its Inception" in helping
establish LVCC. The award was presented during Men’s Stag on Tuesday,
November 19, 2002. As you know, Mr. Blair was President of the Board the
four years during the time Lake Valley was being constructed and during
its first years, and was extremely instrumental in getting our club
established on solid footing. Mr. Blair was noticeably surprised and
touched by the award, noting that Lake Valley had been a large part of
his life since 1966.September 11, 2002: Finally, another update to this page! Sorry folks, the webmaster (me) has been asleep at the wheel for while and hasn't made any updates to this page. I'll try to correct that and get back on track. Here's some highlights: August 26, 2002: Chris Day, Chris McElyea, and Jim Besancenez (Mr. B) were elected to three year terms on the Board of Directors and the Annual Membership Meeting. Congratulations. September 2002: The Men's League was such a success that the men have decided to add a short, 5-week, Fall league which started on 9/9/02. Play in the Fall League is a 2-man scramble format. UPCOMING EVENTS: September 16, 2002 (Monday): The Men's Association Dinner will be held. The evening will start with a scramble event for those who wish to play, at 5:00 p.m., followed by the annual dinner. If you played in the Kick-Off you are already paid for the dinner. October 12/13, 2002: The First Annual Men's Fall Blow-Out will be held. The event is an 18-hole, 2-man scramble, flighted by total team handicap. It is open to club members with established handicaps only. There will be a party and team auction on Saturday night, followed by the 18-hole play on Sunday afternoon. This should be a great event! Be sure to get a partner and sign up soon. November
2, 2001: Once again we have
switched to cart path only through
the dormant winter season. This proved to be a tremendous aide to
the health of our bermuda fairways last year. Also, the greens on
#1, #4, and #10 have been rebuilt and are starting to grow. See
the greens rebuilding page.
