The biggest ever Member-

Guest Roadrunner Invitational

boasted an immense challenge

for all 180 players this year as

the weather played a major role

during the competition. During

the two-day event, over 1.5 inch-

es of rain fell. Despite the gusty

winds, rain, and below normal

temperatures, 84 of the 90

teams still finished the 36-hole

competition on April 8th & 9th.

This year the men’s teams

consisted of four flights with 13

teams in each flight. The women

had three flights consisting of 12

-14 teams of each flight. The

format for the men and women

was a Scramble on the Palmer

and Best Ball on the Canyons-

Below are some of the results for

both men and women:

The tournament committee

did a great job this year han-

dling all facets of the tourna-

ment. A big thank you to Robin

Reed who wore many hats run-

ning this great event. We would

also like to thank Barry McKay

running the horserace, Curt

Hansen for being the Calcutta

master and Ron & Nan Hills in

their continued support for pay-

outs and tournament booklet.

The Oasis Spin

Despite the

The 15th annual Fish Fry

on Friday, April 15th was a

great success as we had over

80 Oasis members and their

guests attend. Throughout

the years, the fish fry has

been one of my favorite so-

cial events not only for the

fish but to visit and cele-

brate with all the members

before they head to cooler

climates for the summer. I

hope the tradition of this

great event lives on.

As part of the fish fry

this year were the formal

presentation to 2016 club

champions; Sarah Bowman

and Allan Howa. I congrat-

ulate them and hope they

can come back next year to

reclaim their traveling tro-

phy. As part of being cham-

pion, they received a courte-

sy cart parking spot front

and center until next year’s

2017 Club Championships

over Easter weekend. Dates,

TBA.

I would like to extend

my personal gratitude to all

the hard work and time the

Roadrunner Invitational

tournament committee put

in the past three months.

Despite the weather, both

the committee and Scott’s

turf care staff worked dili-

gently to keep both courses

playable for those two

days.

Rain is not always nega-

tive though as the turf

conditions flourish as we

head into summer weather

patterns.

As Director of the Virgin

Valley Junior Golf Associa-

tion for several years, I be-

lieve the continued growth

of the game is essential

through junior golf in-

struction. The VVJGA are

looking for volunteers to

help the instructors part-

time in June during the one

hour clinics. If you would

like to help please see me or

Adam for details. Clinics

will start June 7th and will

run Tuesday-Thursday for

the following three weeks.

I would like to thank

the members for their con-

tinued support of the club.

We had quite an influx or

new members and look for-

ward to making sure every-

one enjoys their time golf-

ing here at Oasis.

Course Superintendent, Scott Polychronis

I would like to

thank Terry Donnelly, Fay

Schulz, and Sheryl

Warfield for their time and

effort on the Greens and

Social committee. Terry

and Fay are stepping

down and Sheryl is stay-

ing on. We appreciate

their input and feedback

from the entire member-

ship. I think anyone who

serves on the greens com-

mittee has a better under-

standing of why we do

what we do. Thank you

for your support. We do

welcome the new greens

committee members: Alli-

son Webb and Club Cham-

pion Alan Howa.

It has been a busy

spring golf season. The

courses have shown some

signs of wear and tear

from constant play and

cart traffic. We appreciate

all the play we get during

our busy, peak season but

we continue to ask both

members and guests for

help in minimizing cart

traffic by doubling up

with playing partners

whenever possible.

www.theoasisgolfclub.com

At this point, we

seem to be going the op-

posite direction seeing 3-

4 carts in a foursome

during member play

days.

The new mowing

equipment acquired last

August has been ex-

tremely helpful in our

ability to keep the golf

course mowed down at a

consistent level. The

spin type top-dresser al-

lows the crew to begin a

light and frequent (2-3

weeks) topdressing pro-

gram on the greens that

helps keep the putting

surfaces smooth and con-

sistent. We will try and

maintain this practice

throughout the growing

season to provide the

best possible playing

conditions on a daily ba-

sis.

Projects for this sum-

mer include de-silting

the lake on Palmer #11

again to increase water

storage capacity and re-

place or re-finish the cart

path on #11 Palmer too.

The continuance of bun-

ker renovation and refur-

bishing on both courses

will allow us to pick off

anywhere from 5-8 bun-

kers off the list this sum-

mer as well.

We will also be build-

ing a permanent red tee

on #10 Canyons and a

new blue tee on #6 Can-

yons. There are also sev-

eral other leveling of tee

boxes as well that will be

done if time and budget-

ary concerns allow. En-

joy the rest of spring

and have a great summer

wherever that may be.

What do you think of the Newsletter so far?

The Oasis Spin

Tee times will begin at

6:00am in May on both courses.

Shop hours in May will be

5:30am-5:30pm everyday.

The 2016 official OWGA season

ended April 19th with a great event

on the Canyons known as the Flori-

da Scramble. For anyone who hasn’t

played in one, it is a quick way to

enjoy a lot of birdies with not hav-

ing to be out on the course all day.

We would like to congratulate our

club champion for the year, Sarah

Bowman. Sarah came back from a

1st round deficit to overcome Deb

Rees and Sheryl Warfield in a very

competitive two rounds. We had

great feedback on the optional age

division tournament as well during

the club championships so we look

forward to doing that again next

year. For complete results and win-

ners of the club championship,

please refer to the OWGA section of

the website.

The completion of the OWGA

Match Play concluded April 17th.

This year we had 40 players divided

into 3 brackets or flights. We would

like to thank Sheryl Warfield & Bev

Whitehead as committee members

for organizing the three month long

event. Winners are


as follows:

1st Flight:

Winner: Linda Modlinski

Runner-Up: Lisa Good

2nd Flight:

Winner: Lenora Hutchins

Runner-Up: Bev White-

head

3rd Flight:

Winner: Nan Hills

Runner-Up: Martha Hart

Also, in early March

was the annual Member/

low are a list of Gross &

Finally, the OWGA de-

cided to have a casual

Wine & 9 Day between all

these competitive tourna-

ments. It was a way for

the girls to relax and lay

back on a beautiful after-

noon for some casual golf.

We look forward to doing

this casual event again

next year.
