NEWS FROM THE CROSSINGS
From the General Manager
Once again I open up my mouth and spoke to early.
We are soliciting and booking events for this winte=
r and the entire 2010 calendar. If you have a reunion or some sort of event that we can help you out wit=
h, give Kari a call and visit with her on the details. We are definitely looking to book your winter eve=
nts. If you or the business y=
ou work for is looking for a spot for a holiday party or doing some off pre=
mise training sessions, let us help you out. Again, give Kari a call at 269-6828 and let us help you out=
.
I would also like to congratulate Jeremiah and Kris=
ten on the “I do’s” this past weekend. On behalf of the entire membership we wish you =
both the best. <=

New Gadget - Golf Buddy GPS
About 3 weeks or so ago, a field rep from Golf Budd=
y was out to our course and mapped the course for their GPS units. I have gone to their web site - www.gpsgolfbuddy.com and the course is now listed.=
If you have a “Golf Bu=
ddy” system, then I would assume that you would be able to download t=
he course to your unit.
If you are interested in purchasing a GPS, this is (at this time) the onl=
y company that I know of that has our course listed and mapped. We do have flyers out in the pro shop t=
hat highlight this product. T=
heir web page has tons of information available about the product and you c=
an purchase it directly from them.
We have made several requests to Sky Caddie to have=
them come to our course to map our holes.=
We have not heard from them, but we will continue to make the=
request until we get them here.
Upcoming Events
From the=
Pro Shop
We have almost everything on sale in the pro shop. Stop in today and do some early Christmas sh=
opping. We have a good select=
ion of both men’s and ladies apparel, so make it a point to stop by a=
nd see what we have.
Last Bla=
st & Closing Party
The Last Blast this year will =
be held on Saturday, October 17th. This years event will be a 2-person scramble. Grab your favorite playing partner and =
come out and see what you can do as a two person team. There will be no handicap restrictions as we will=
flight all teams after the event based on a nine hole score within the eve=
nt. It should be a fun day wi=
th lots of winners and a good way to end the golf season here at The Crossi=
ngs. Flyers and sign up sheet=
s can be found in the pro shop. Later that evening we will be holding our closing party with happy hour =
from 6-8pm and complimentary hors d’oeuvres from 7-9pm. There will also be karaoke from 8pm until =
midnight.
From the Superintendent
Someone please turn off the sprinklers! We have enough moisture on the course n=
ow to last the rest of the year. When and if we get back out there to play some golf, please, please sta=
y out of the standing water as best as you can. This time of year, any damage done to the course will no=
t have time to heal. It will =
be there in the spring when we open back up and it will not heal then eithe=
r. Please keep your carts on =
the cart paths and no where near the greens until we are back to being nice=
and dry.
If you have not been out to the course in the last =
week or so, we began to tear apart the first tee box. We will get most of the work done on the project t=
his fall and then re-seed what is needed next spring. We are also going to work on the area around the d=
eck and eliminate the old cart path and level out this area to make it easi=
er to load and store the beverage carts along the building. Thanks for your patience and playing around =
our work. =
See you on th=
e course.

John and Bob =
were two of the bitterest rivals at the club. Neither man trusted the other=
's arithmetic.
One day they were playing a heated match and watching each other like haw=
ks. After holing out on the fourth green and marking his six on the scoreca=
rd, John asked Bob, "What'd you have?
Bob went through the motions of mentally counting up. "Six!" he=
said and then hastily corrected himself,.
" No, no....a five."
Calmly John marked the scorecard, saying out loud "Eight!" &quo=
t;Eight?" Bob said, "I couldn't have had eight." John said, =
"Nope, you claimed six, then changed it to five, but actually you ha=
d seven." "Then why did you mark down eight?" asked Bob.
John told him, "One stroke penalty, for improving your lie."
