Friday Night Resident’s Golf “Extravaganza”

On Friday evening, Oct 5, The Friday Night Golf Group held their season ending “Extravaganza” in the HHR Clubhouse. Fifty-nine residents enjoyed the party that included decorated tables, attendance prizes, gift bags, a catered buffet dinner and special awards. A treasurer’s report was given by Sharon Aubuchon, the group’s financial officer. Special recognition was given to Larry Knopfel, who did the pairings each week and handled all the details of the Friday Night League.

Ed and Shirley DeAvilla were recognized for their tireless effort in taking care of the set-up for the weekly potlucks after golf. Elaine Voight and Daren Brust organized the weekly 50/50 drawings that contributed greatly to our budget allowing the “Extravaganza” to be so much fun. Jon and Cyndie Herbik generously donated the white wine used for the evening.

Bob & Charles

The entertainment included a short trivia game and a skit performed by “Golfer” Bob Harrison and “Caddy” Charlie Ruhmann that had everyone laughing. Charlie, an avid golf ball collector (balls abandoned in and near the lake), made a presentation of about 10 balls he found with a distinctive red letter K to Larry Knopfel. As the evening came to a close, several residents joined in a fun game of Pass The Trash.

Jim Waugh, who had earlier in the evening been awarded an Oscar for “The Most Continuous Best Performances” while playing the card game, astounded us again with another great performance. Friday Night Resident’s Golf will begin again in April 2008. During the winter, the group is planning to gather occasionally for potluck and Pass The Trash games.

HHR Men’s Saturday Morning Golf League

Saturday, October 13, 2007 the HHR Men’s League played the final organized outing for this year. Golf was preceded with a buffet breakfast prepared by Michele and Scotty in the Hawkeye Grill. After golf the players went to the Card and Pool Room in the Clubhouse and enjoyed a buffet lunch. Each player received a gift bag that was prepared by Sharon Aubuchon and Carol Knopfel. Following lunch John Aubuchon, the league Treasurer was recognized for his work at collecting money and maintaining the record of players. Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places were made along with raffle prizes, and cash prizes. Players who played the most times during the season were recognized and John Aubuchon who played 45 rounds played the most times. Saturday golf will continue until weather prevents it and the 2008 season will start in early April. Thanks to John Steineger, Paul Rivard and the Hawkeye Grill Staff (Michele, Scotty, and Anthony) for their support to the Men’s Saturday Morning Golf.

2007 Fall Classic Golf Invitational

On Sunday, October 14, 2007 our Fall Classic Golf Invitational was held, the weather this year was a welcomed improvement over last year’s cold weather and wind. Thirty-Four players signed up and in the morning nine hole event Gayle Cattau and his partner John Barada shot a sparkling 6 under par to capture first place. Second place went to Jim Waugh and his son David with 2 under par. In the eighteen hole afternoon round the teams were divided into two flights, the winners of each flight were not residents of HHR.

October Highlights

One of the great things about Heritage of Hawk Ridge is that if you have an idea for an activity that isn’t already scheduled you can usually find enough neighbors who would be willing to try it to get it on the schedule. Mah Jong is one of our newer activities, and already we have enough players for two tables. From left to right are: Delores Jones, Sally Wood, Jo Bronstein, Lynn Rogers, Ginny Marten, Vera Arroyo, Mary Murphy, and Norma Allen and a non resident guest.

OCTOBER GARDEN OF THE MONTH
(click on images to see larger version in new browser window)

Please take a few minutes and drive by the garden at 580 Owls Perch Dr., Garden of the Month for October. This is a relatively new garden but it is still flourishing into October. Joyce and Bill Emrick (seen below in front of their house) have nurtured their landscape in a relatively short period of time and you see the outstanding results. Congratulations to them and to all of you who make this community as beautiful as it is!
