2 SGAA Newsletter, July 2012 From the President s Pen Continued and correct on the web site, when you see them give them a Thank You. One thing to keep in mind when we are fussing about something being wrong or not correct, everyone who works behind the scenes for SGAA is doing it for the love of SGAA, they received no pay for hours spent every month keeping the records straight, THANK YOU GUYS. THINGS ON YOUR MIND: I know I am not your mama but I am going to tell you anyway, guys it is hot as He.. outside, please drink lot of fluids (beer does not count) and stay hydrated. If you feel weak stop playing golf and get in the shade, you will have another chance to play golf Also be sure to wear clean underwear in case you have to go the hospital I know your mama told you that. Thanks for the great response at the Oaks last week we had a great turnout, Tuesday was a bit of a problem but for the most part it all worked out. We had 109 golfers show up, no one expected to see that many. There were a few of you that did not get to play at the Oaks, but hopefully you went over to Cherokee Run where they were waiting for you. We will be returning to the Oaks next year! We have some great courses coming up this month, so get out there and play golf. Stay cool and come by the Tuesday table and say Hi.
