From Our President

Pete Cantor

July is gone! And July was a very busy month.  So much fun in July at the Jerome Country Club starting with the Fourth of July flag tournament ending with the couple invitational. The couples tournament was a huge success and I heard many golfers saying, “It was a fun weekend”.

The grounds crew has been doing an excellent job keeping the course in great shape.  When play slows down they will be starting on numerous projects.  One project just got completed and that is the sand bunker on number 9 hole.  It has been reshaped and filled with new sand.
I am pleased to report that all the golfers are doing a good job keeping our course in good shape too.  Divots are being filled, tee boxes are being cleaned, and the balls on the practice green are being used.

The Sellers statue is being place on the patio for all to enjoy. The board is working on getting more light into the bathroom on number 14.  Bart has a list of projects to complete.  Always on going improvements at the Jerome Country club.

The Couples Invitational (Held July 27th and 28th) was a huge success. Teams comprised of Members and their guests competed in two different formats of golf and enjoyed great food and fun.

Congratulations and Thank You to the Tournament Committee for a job very well done.

The Jerome CC Handicap committee has asked me to remind players to post all eligible scores into the USGA Handicap System. The handicap committee will email friendly reminders for members to post all scores. They will be checking to see that players are posting scores. The handicap system allows for both 9 and 18 hole scores to be posted and is there to insure that competitions are fair for all players.

Friday and Sunday Start Times will be made by the players and the golf course will be open for non tournament play on those days. Mens Flights and Couples/Women's Flights are included.
