2013 will have rung in and the new Royal Vista
season has begun. We are looking at about 100 active
members on the roll sheet for this new year.We are
down names on the roster from about 132 but we still
remain about the same with active tournament golfers.
I hope the new year brings a new resolve
to participate in our tournaments this year.
We will be rearranging some of the tournament
blueprints and payouts for the coming year.
To start with your invitations will be coming
from kriss Ozols this year so be alert for his
emails. Speaking of emails , if you are not receiving
tournament invitations or the Biirdie Bugler during
the month , please let us know.We are in the process
of firming up the correct email addresses to be
sent out. Remember this is our primary means of
communication.
First tournament of the year is Jan. 5th followed
by our first meeting, see then and have a happy new
year

to anyone. Congrats to Tony Giles for being our top money winner for the second time in three
years.

Ken Wheeler - Handicap Chairman
Lady and Gentlemen, I been remiss at not writing to tell how honored I was to receive
your votes to remain your handicap chair. I hope to continue the tradition of keeping Royal
Vista the Best Little Golf Club in America. Congratulations to Chris Ozals for his great
start as our Tournament Chair. His first tournament was a large one and he did a super job.
Now down to the handicap stuff. I want to spend a little time with you this year
writing about the simple things we all know but could use a little reminder. One of the
mainstay philosophy of the SCGA is that it is the golfers responsibility to play the best
they can on each and every round. By this they mean that you should never (blow) a shot
to improve your index. A great example of this is the game of two man better ball. We
have all experienced it when one partner makes the score for the hole and the other
partner misses a relatively easy putt to be able to card a higher number. This my friends
is a no no. This not saying that the putt wasn‛t honestly missed. That is only known by
the player and we hope that it was not missed on purpose. Its the spirit of golf and that
makes the game so great.

Doug Peterson - Treasurer
From the Treasurer---No rhythm to start off the new year this time, just
a wish to all that you have a good one…new year, not rhythm. You could, after all,
be vacationing in Kapalua, Hawaii right now where the pros are playing in their TOC
event. The winds on the screen as I write this are at 40 mph plus, sort of like our
weather in this years Laughlin tourney, just much prettier. The flag sticks are bent
past 90 degrees, but at least it‛s stopped raining and it‛s warm. Maybe Tiger, Phil,
Rory, et al were smart to skip this seasons inaugural event, regardless of it‛s large
payout to the winners and all who contest in it. Which brings me to my first point…we
have money in our treasury to start the new year…$19,000 and change, so yes, were
are “solvent”, with no bills yet to pay nor more money to be received. $14,000 of
the above total came from “renewal” money, with $5000 carried over from 2012...a
far cry from the $65,000 carry over from days long ago. Our SCGA bill and Team
Play expenses will take over $5000 from our coffers quite quickly, so, as all can
see, your board will have about $14K to run your club in 2013. This is obviously an
overly simplified treasurers report but using it and the perspective given last month
in this space, hopefully it will answer some of the questions you have about our
finances. It isn‛t an exact science kind of budget that we keep but it is a prudent
one. (Well, don‛t I sound like the politician…???) I‛m sure Kriss will continue to run
our tournament schedule with the same eye on the bottom line as Dennis did and your
board will be ever mindful of our shrinking yearly “carry over”.
Enough of the numbers and “Bah, Humbug” attitude. It‛s a new year and good
things are before us. Our tournament events have been revised, our Palm Springs
and Laughlin trips are already in the planning stages with some surprises still to come,
and the hit it, find it, and hit it again experience at LARV couldn‛t be better…unless
of course more players started to fix more of their divots and raked the sand traps
when necessary. Remember, cold weather makes the healing process much slower in
the winter. Divots and ball marks that go unattended stay around much longer and
DON‛T help players get better scores. Make your New Years resolution to make
better scores…I think that‛s a given…by fixing more divots. We‛ll all be better for it.
A Healthy and Happy New Year to you all.
