DINNERS FOR 8

We would like to thank our August hosts for making our last Dinner For 8 another great evening. Our next and last Dinner For 8 for 2007 will be on Sunday Nov. 4. We will need several new hosts to volunteer or “step up to the plate” (so to speak!!). If you haven't participated in Dinner For 8 before, please join us. It’s a wonderful chance to spend a casual evening getting to know your neighbors in a small group setting.

Questions: Call Joyce Emrick 561-0262 Jane Harrison 561-1548 Carol Richert 561-6854, Ginny Wolfram 625-6216 Sharon Huston 561-5641.

Special Thanks

During several storms Bob Bell went into the swimming pool to fish out tables and chairs that were blown across the deck into the pool. Gary McCullough and Veta Cairns have also helped in this effort and we want to thank them all. Also thanks to Gary for creating a wonderful colored coded chart and monitoring the lights around the grounds, letting us know when bulbs need replacing or fixtures repaired and/or replaced. Your help is greatly appreciated.

SINGLE FRIENDS’ LUNCH

Join us for lunch on Tuesday, Sept. 18th at McGurk’s Public House in old town O’Fallon - a traditional local Irish pub and grill. Weather permitting, we’ll sit outside in the garden with fountains and waterfalls. Afterwards we’ll stop at Oma’s Barn - outside plants for the Fall and inside rooms filled with antiques, pottery, candles, etc. The bus will leave the Clubhouse at 11 AM.

Lake Saint Louis Wednesday Night Men’s Golf League

On August 8, 2007 the LSL Wednesday Night Men’s League completed it’s season and celebrated with a buffet dinner and awarded prize’s to many of the Wednesday night participants in the HHR Clubhouse.

The league was formed in a cooperative agreement between David Reynolds (LSL Director of Parks & Recreation) and our own John Pellerito. Two person teams played a best ball scramble each Wednesday evening beginning on April 18, 2007 and concluding August 8, 2007. Fourteen teams competed and each was matched against a different team throughout the period. Ron McCracken (LSL Parks & Recreation Department) constructed a spreadsheet that reflected the team composition with won & lost records, standings, and rounds played. Ron also developed a sheet that pitted each team against another for the entire season. John Aubuchon collected the green fees and cart fees and his wife Sharon maintained a continuous financial statement each week for the league.

At seasons end the team of Mark Stevens and Ron McCracken took 1st Place with a record of 11 wins – 2 ties - 0 losses, 2nd Place went to the team of Ed DeAvilla and Roger Richert with a record of 9 wins – 4 ties – 0 losses, 3rd Place went to the team of Bob Ruddick and Frank Guerretta with a record of 8 wins – 5 ties – 0 losses. The best net score also went to the Ruddick and Guerretta team with 394 out of 405. A 50/50 drawing was held to exhaust the money collected during the year for prizes and John Ross and John Pellerito each won $25. Dave Reynolds provided a sleeve of balls and a divet repair kit for each player.

The league is expected to resume in the Spring of 2008, look for information in the Puttering’s

Signs That You’re Playing Too Much Golf

• Before you pick up the salt shaker at dinner you mark its position with a dime.

• You dream you go to prison but still get conjugal visits with your driver.

• You ask the shopper ahead in the checkout line if you can play through.

• You realize no matter how bad you’re playing it’s still possible to play worse.

• (Men) When you stand at the urinal you use an overlapping grip.

Please remember that the golf course cart path is not to be used for walking during the hours the golf course is open. At this time of year that is Tuesday - Sunday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. This is a mandate from the HHR Association insurance carrier, and is for your own protection.

AND

Only licensed drivers 16 years and older may drive a golf cart. This also means kids shouldn’t be sitting on your lap steering the cart.
This is a rule and is for the safety of everyone.
