OCC Golf - Nov. 20th

Please Note:
1. Carts MUST stay on the cart path at all times this week.
2. The range is set on the mats.  Please no hitting irons off the turf directly in front or on the back of the tee.

Great Shot!
Congratulations again go to Mr. Rob Young who posted an eagle 3 on #10 with another shot from the fairway!  Rob hit the perfect shot this past week from 110 yards with a wedge & it is confirmed that his wedge is "officially" dialed in.  Congrats!

Golf Course Ownership
I would like to encourage the membership to look to improve your golf course while playing at your Club.  The upcoming months of winter offer many good days to play & challenge both your golf game as well as your mental fortitude against playing in the elements.  During the "off-season" the golf course might not be in the "championship" condition as in the season as the attention of our maintenance staff is on repairing equipment & gauging the frost barometric pressures to allow play to begin.  I'm asking each of you to do your normal good golf etiquette; replace divots, rake bunkers when exiting & repair ball marks when your playing, but I would also request that you look to do more when on the course.  Those members who have a last name beginning A-L are assigned to the Front 9 & those who have a last name beginning M-Z are assigned to the Back 9; responsible for looking to do extra (rake a bunker, fix 3 ball marks or anything to make the course better) while on that particular side.  I truly believe that our membership is one of the best in regards to course etiquette, & by assigning additional responsibilities, our golf course will continue to have that "championship" look for those who are playing our green turf links!  Remember:
F9 - Last Name A-L
B9 - Last Name M-Z

Turkey Day Scramble
Friday, Nov. 28th @ 9:30
$50 Member Fee & $60 Guest Fee
Sign-up your favorite foursome for the end of the year event!  Entry fee includes all tournament expenses & lunch after play has been completed.  Please contact the Golf Shop if you would like to participate.

Vision 54.  The Winter Ringer game gives you an opportunity to birdie every hole (hasn't happened yet) & get to challenge your ability to continue to get better.  As those who have participate can attest, knowing you need to birdie a hole & playing under those "expectations", is an experience that will make you coming back for more.  All scores must be played in a 9-hole/18-hole round & the game ends on Sunday, March 1st.

Great Shot!
Speaking of the Winter Ringer Game, congratulations to Mr. Rob Young who hit the perfect shot on the 17th hole for an eagle 3 this past Sunday!  Rob hit a pw from 118 yards out on a perfect line that landed short of the hole & jumped directly into the hole.  He then went on to par the 18th, making for a great finish!

OMGA Points Championship
I would like to thank those who participated in the season ending Points Championship this past weekend & congratulate the Overall Champion, Michael Schmidt, & Overall Net Champion, Trae Joyce, on their fantastic two-day total.  The Overall Championship was not decided after 36 holes, as Nick Gerch & Michael both posted a 5-over par total of 149, & after much deliberation finally went back on to the golf course for a playoff to determine the winner.  Both hit excellent tee shots off the 9th tee box & having to play first, Michael played his 2nd shot within 3' from the hole, & was able to use all of his experience to finally #makeeverything recording a birdie to Nick's par.  In the Net competition it was a 1 horse race as the 2014 President's Cup Champion was able to post an impressive score of 135, 9-under par, and win by 8 strokes over Tom Larkin.  Again, thank you for your support of the golf operations at Oxmoor Country Club!

Sunday, November 9th
Range will CLOSE at 4:30 PM that afternoon as we must clean pick the range for the final mowing of the year.  We will also begin to seed target greens & improve turf conditions on the range & you can expect to see traps covering the greens as we move into the off season.  I would also like to remind everyone to please NOT hit irons off the turf directly in front of the mats.  If you would like to hit irons, please go to the teaching tee box located on the back of the range.

Winter Ringer Game
Nov. 8th - March 1st
The Winter Ringer Challenge is open to all members who have an established handicap & individuals will be awarded on their best gross/net finish in the competition.  The entry fee is $25 & members will turn in their scorecard in pursuit of their best score on each hole.  The final handicap updated at the end of this month will serve as the number for the net division & reduced from your best gross score.  Last year Gross Champion was Kevin Aldred, 56, & Bob Burnette/John Dryden who each posted a net score of 47!  Sign up in the Golf Shop if you would like to participate.

2014 PGA Golf Day 100 Holes of Golf charity event

My friends,

I have once again committed to play 100 holes of golf in 1 day on September 18th at Oxmoor Country Club. Playing 1 ball and 1 hole at a time, I will raise money for the Kentucky Golf Foundation and for The American Cancer Society.
Having family members and friends that have battled this terrible disease, this cause is very close to my heart and any help you can provide me in reaching my goal will be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to join me for a few holes that day, it will be great fun!

I have pledged $1 per hole or $100 and hope you can follow my lead. Your pledge of $1, $2, $5 or anything per hole would be greatly appreciated and go a long way to benefit all three charities. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Follow this link to donate: http://kygolf.donorpages.com/KentuckyPGAGolfDay/JamieDeKeuster

Club Championship Notes

"Golf is deceptively simple & endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul & frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding & maddening, and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented." - Arnold Palmer

I would like to thank all those members who participated in the Club Championship this past weekend. I always think of the quote above as being one of my favorites about the game & the many lessons that you can learn while playing; & nothing brings that more forth than tournament golf.  Regardless of what each of you shot, the solid hits & the poor, it is my hope that each of you learned something more about your game & what you need to do to continue to get better!

This year's Championship provided a lot of excitement on the course with shots flying in from the "field" & red numbers on the leaderboard through two days.  We also have added two new members, Adam Columbia & Kim Willis, into the historical records at Oxmoor CC as Club Champions & witnessed two defending Champions, Alan Donhoff & Chris Mussler, golf their ball over 54 holes successfully maintaining their parking spots at the Club! Also, congratulations to Mr. Ron Haseker for striking the perfect shot on Saturday morning while playing the 16th hole (his 7th) from 186 yards with a 5 iron, making his first Club Championship one that he will remember for the rest of his life!

Please note the results below & again, thank you for participating!

To the membership at Oxmoor Country Club,

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks for allowing the Kentucky Golf Association the
opportunity to host the Kentucky Match Play Championship at Oxmoor Country Club. It was a privilege
and an honor to be able to compete on one of the finest golf courses in the state of Kentucky.

You, as the membership, have an excellent professional staff and grounds crew in place. Everyone was
very helpful and polite, and the condition of the golf course was simply fabulous. My congratulations go
out to Richard Schmitt, Josh Snider, and the entire golf staff for putting on a fabulous event. I would
also like to thank the golf course superintendent and his grounds crew for putting such a fantastic
product before us, the players. We simply couldn't have asked for more perfect playing conditions.

The food and beverage staff did not go unnoticed, as well. My compliments to the chef and the entire
food service department for providing such excellent meals during the competition. The wait staff was
also friendly and courteous.

Once again, I thank the membership for sacrificing the golf course to us over the course of four days.
Your dedication to allowing us to use your facility made for a truly wonderful and memorable
experience. After winning my first state event, I know with certainty that Oxmoor Country Club will
always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that we, as the players, will have the opportunity to
enjoy future events at such a wonderful facility.

Respecfully,

Denver Haddix, Jr.
