Announcing the 2020 Cactus Classic:  Nov. 12, 14, 17
​It has been a trying season for all of us and yet we are all survivors in this environment. We will not allow this pandemic to overshadow our love for the game called golf!

The CC 2020 committee is trying to resume our camaraderie by going ahead with CC 2020 in November. Just to remind everyone, CC 2020 is one of our majors and it is a 3-DAY LOW NET tournament. The theme is “all for the love of desert golf…love among the cacti.”

Click the cactus at the left for more information and come on up to the bulletin board in the computer room to sign in for play and for lunch. CC 2020 committee will be happy to answer any question you may have.

CC 2020 Committee: Christine Smith, Angie Denahan, CJ Johnson

​YOTO'S goal is to collect 3000 pairs of new socks for the Youth on Their Own students.  The socks must be new and men's and women's sizes only----no children's sizes.  Let's see what we can do to help reach their goal!  The challenge has begun and ends 30 October.  There will be a box for donations on the ledge outside the ladies’ bathroom or you are welcome to drop off your donation at Ann Chatham's home.
