Early Bird Golf at Jug Mountain
The difference between a very good golf course and an exceptional golf course is often the site. Jug
Mountain Ranch has a serene and peaceful beauty, with a variety of short- and long-distance views:
enclosed, tree-covered terrain; wide open meadows; soft, gentle terrain; dramatic, undulating
contour; dry desert sage; and wetland/lake habitat. A site with natural beauty, character, and uncommon
features — coupled with quality design — will always stand apart as a memorable golf experience.

For the past 20 Years, Syd has been doing Driver Safety presentations and workshops for major companies, organizations and groups such as public school bus drivers, law enforcement, Weyerhaeuser,
Walmart, Williams Pipe Line, and local, state and national public utilities. He will be addressing topics
such as: Driver Distractions (cell phone use, texting, eating, passengers, etc.); Alcohol (effects our driving behaviors, reaction times in relation to our ability to respond correctly without error); Reference Points (where your vehicle is in relationship
to the position on the roadway); and Skills Testing (evaluating current driver abilities, knowledge of our ever-changing traffic
laws). He will explain what the vehicle can and cannot do, as well as what the driver can and cannot do.
Syd is currently contracted to work for several self-insured community utilities companies (power, water, waste management) in western Washington State. He has also made recent presentations to the Associated Logging Contractors, Inc.
Syd’s presentations are not only fast-paced, fun, exciting, but very informative and emotional. 

Lucky Tongue is a family band comprised of a father and two sons. The name says it all as each
one’s feels so very lucky to be working together performing their favorite music, which is mostly the
songs from 60’s pop artists. The guys travel all over to bring the familiar tongue of all nations
(music) to the world. It is truly the universal language of mankind. Lucky Tongue members are all
native Idahoans who grew up playing music together at home after a day in the field. That brings
them home each summer to their favorite spot: the great Northwest. Their original music is much
loved, and blends in with the songs they cover. The guys credit most of their skills to Sir Paul
McCartney. Upon meeting him, the music legend instructed them to "practice!” This they took to
heart and now receive high praise from listeners for being the tightest, high energy band on the
planet! 
