1 Golf Course 3700 Drive, Kennewick, WA Phone Januar y 2007 Happy New Year From All of Us!!! Thank you very much for your business and support. Our goal is to continue to make the best golf course better. We would like to thank the following: New range balls. Thank you Dave Retter and Windermere Reality. We have already received 1,500 dozen (18,000) new range balls that we plan to put out the first part of spring. New hole flags and the title sponsorship of the Club Championship and the Orange Ball Scramble. Thank you Craig Cavanaugh and McCurley Integrity Dealerships. Title sponsorship of the Super Bowl Scramble, Opening Scramble, Closing Scramble and the,000 Hole-In- One Pot. Thank you Jason Sleater, Chris Eerkes and Golf Universe.

Thank you Bill Tilton and Pepsi-Cola. Title sponsorship of the 2-Man Best Ball. Thank you Violet, Scott and Shaun Yarroll. New deck and entryway. Thank you Tim Peterson and Dynamic Coating Systems. Joyce Utz for keeping our mailing list updated. Cindy Sanderson and The James Group for putting out our newsletter. Sand and Seed Bottles on Hole #1 and Hole #10. If anyone would like a sand and seed holder for their cart, please contact the Golf Shop. Thank you Men s Club. The following are philosophies and improvements planned or continued for 2007: Buying 20 New 2007 Yamaha Drive Golf Carts. These are new state of the art golf carts from Yamaha. Changing our tee sheet from 7 1/2 to 8 minute intervals. This small change should reduce the congestion on Hole #1 and Hole #4. Not implementing the 9 and Dine on the weekends. This way we can continue to shotgun backwards the Men s Gangsome and still let members and customers out early in the morning. We will adjust the starting time to try to accommodate both the Men s Gangsome and our members who try to get out early on the weekends. We ask for patience on both parties. Keeping the 2007 Membership rates the same as Adding a 2007 Senior Full Season Membership and a 2007 Senior Couples Full Season Membership. Maintaining three different Men s Gangsomes along with scoreboards. Maintaining Ladies Play on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings along with scoreboard. Maintaining the Friday Night Couples. This will be hosted by someone in the Golf Shop along with their spouse or significant other. This will be held every Friday night during the prime season. This 9 hole golf and social will be open to all Members and friends. Maintaining the Thursday Night Ladies League. This will be open to all ladies. Char ging $20 more for non full season members on one day tournaments and charging $40 more for non full season members on two day tournaments. This will help offset the green fee difference and make our full season memberships even more valuable. Having GPS and updated Yardage Books put on all carts. Putting split windshields on the majority of our golf carts. Keeping at least 10 covered carts during the winter months. Covered carts can be rented for an additional $10, $15 with a heater. Yearly cart rental members can upgrade to a covered cart for an additional. Then it only costs them an extra $5 each time they rent a heater. Allowing one high school team to practice at at a time. Not a l l o w i n g a n y h i g h s c h o o l p r a c t i c e o n Friday-Sunday. We are honored to have Kamiakin and Southridge Golf Teams practice here and call home. Of course Junior Members of will be able to use our facilities at anytime that they are open. Keeping the driving range on grass all year long. We will continue to use marshals and a starter during the busy times to keep the pace enjoyable for everyone. If you are interested in marshaling or being a starter, please see Mike or Matt. As always, we will continue to do our normal daily maintenance. Some bunkers will have sand added. Trees will be trimmed or taken out. Other trees will be planted. We will work on keeping our greens and golf course as one of the top golf courses in the state. We appreciate your input and support. Our goal is to make the best golf facility better. us at golf@canyonlakesgolfcourse.com or check us out at
