The annual Canyon Lake Junior Golf Clinic was held August 3 to 7, with 186 kids participating. Each child received lessons Monday through Thursday and played on the Golf Course Friday. After golf, children and their families went to Indian Beach at 3 p.m. for hotdogs and hamburgers. All the kids received trophies; then hoped to hear their name drawn in the ever-popular prize drawing.
A lot of help goes into running an event of this size. More than 50 people volunteered and spent time helping with the teaching and organization. I cannot thank them enough, as the clinic would not be the same without all of these great people.
Also making a huge contribution was the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce. Each year they run a fund raising golf tournament to help support our clinic. Their contribution allows us to give trophies to all the kids, feed more than 500 people at Indian Beach and have more prizes in our drawing. When you see the entry for next year’s Chamber golf tournament, please come out and support it, as this is the major fundraiser for our program. We could not have as good of an event without the support of the Chamber.
Again thank you to all the people who volunteered and supported this year’s event. I hope I don’t miss anyone: Sam Theodora, John Herrmanns, Jim Dieringer, Pat Brumbaugh, Bruce Yarbrough, Chuck Hawley, Jake Junker, Charlie Johnson, Kevin Cochran, Randy Larson, TJ Keigwin, Ali Wagoner, Shane Frank, Josh Dennis, Hunter Newlin, Michael Sharkey, Cheyenne Ackerman, Kaycee Christensen, Dion Laverdiere, Dawson Lindeman, Chris Larson, Aaron Whitely, Corey Williams, Joann Whitely, Kathy Lindeman, Janice McNeil, Jane Zeppieri, Rose Hanover, Dylan Bryan, Garrett Fraser, Ethan Strandberg, Sheldon Reams, Erin Skidmore, Adam Johnson, Collin McCaffery, Brian Kouroubacalis, Michael Hansen, Jly Skidmore, Bill Trembly, Todd Hayes, Jim Braddock, Kristie Braddock, Jonathan McCloskey, Megan Hefferon and Liz Hefferon.
In addition, I’d like to thank my golf staff of Ian Nelson, Sean McCaffery and Jerry Hefferon. I cannot thank everyone enough for helping make this year’s clinic so successful.
