What happened to

Summer???

Our annual elections were

held after the Member/

Member tournament on No-

vember 14th during our stag

nite. Three new men were

elected to the board : Marty

Conway, Rick Walton, and

Doug Eastman. Congratula-

tions to those gentlemen. We

would like to thank Jay Ber-

nardoni, Tom Fleming, and

Allan Howa for their service

on the board the past two

years.

Our Men’s Club is in full

swing this season as we have

added a new 2-person in De-

cember named the OMGC

Best Ball Classic. The tourna-

ment will be held over two

days on December 11th &

12th. Format is where two

teams compete. Two-person

teams will compete against

three other teams within their

flight for nine holes. The win-

ners of each flight will then

play in a shootout Monday af-

ternoon on the Canyons Vista

9 (Back 9). The shootout will

determine one winner for the

entire tournament. Good luck

to everyone. We will be ex-

pecting a total of 32 teams.

Our men’s club would like

to extend a sincere thank you

for Randy on all his years here

at Oasis Golf Club. His

hard work and dedication

towards making this a

great club for members

and guests has far exceed-

ed anyone’s expectations.

We hope him all the best

in his retirement.

Just a reminder to check

out all the winners in the

four flights during mem-

ber/member on page 4 of

this newsletter. Complete

results are posted on the

men’s koffee kup site and

the oasis’ website under

the OMGC heading on the

homepage.

To maintain the healthiness of the

turf, most notably the overseeded

fairways and greens, starting times

will be moved back this year to

avoid any further damage done by

carts. We have kept our cutting

heights up to absorb some of the

wear and tear. We have also in-

creased fertility application this

past fall as well to the combat the

issue.

Please note that players are re-

stricted to go out in the morning

and start on random holes. There

has been abuse of this especially

failing to notify the golf shop. This

concept of going out wherever and

whenever in the morning time when

the grounds crew is preparing the

golf course will not be suggested

anymore. During the afternoons is

not an issue but still notify the golf

shop. Thank you for your coopera-

tion and understanding.

The members have been extremely

generous in the past during this time

of year donating used items to our

grounds crew staff. Between the

times of Thanksgiving to Christmas

you can drop off donated items to

our maintenance shop located just to

the west of #2 Palmer teebox off of

Turtleback road. The shop is open

from the times of 6am-2pm. Please

do not buy items to give to the staff,

we are just asking for donations.

Thank you very much for helping

out our staff

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Christmas Giving Tree

For the 2nd consecutive year,

both Challeen (Beverage Cart

Manager) and Melodie will be or-

ganizing a “Christmas Giving

Tree”.

On behalf of the Oasis Golf

Club and its staff, we are asking to

help makes a child’s Christmas a

memorable one. All donations to

the Oasis Giving Tree are for the

less fortunate children residing in

Mesquite. The tree is located right

by Melodie’s office in the golf shop

Here is how the Giving Tree Works:

1) Select a child’s name card from the

tree. Give one copy to the golf shop

and take one copy for your shopping

information.

2) We are requesting a target price of

$50/child. This will assure that fam-

ilies of multiple children will receive

a gift of the same value.

3) Please bring unwrapped donations to

the golf shop by December 11th.

4) If you purchase clothing, please in-

clude a gift receipt with the dona-

tions.

5) If you purchase a gift card we are

requesting you purchase from a local

business in Mesquite. Majority of

children will not have transportation

out of town.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR YOUR CONSIDERA-

TION IN PARTICIPATING
