January - Devils Thumb Golf Course

THE DEVIL’S THUMB MONTHLY
April, 2014
April
signifies new beginnings. Though spring officially started in March, April is the month that we
most often associate with growth, blooms and nature. It is celebrated with Earth Day, Arbor Day and
National Park Week. This year, Easter also falls in the month of April. Though we may all honor this
holiday in different ways, there are few of us who can dismiss the call of chocolate rabbits, colorful
baskets and colored eggs (hard-boiled or marshmallow). And who can forget April Fool’s Day? Everyone
enjoys pulling off a great prank.
Also this month, the start of the Devil’s Thumb Men’s, Senior and Ladies Clubs events. The Ladies Club
Opener is April 13th and the Men’s Club Ice Breaker is scheduled for April 26th. Joining the Men’s or
Ladies clubs is a great way to get to know other people, improve your golf game and have a great time
doing it. New members are always welcome. Other on-going specials are Senior Day on Monday, $30
including cart; Tuesday is Unlimited Range and Lunch; 4-some Day on Wednesday (must have a foursome to qualify) $30 per person including cart; Ladies Day on Thursday - $30 including cart; and on
Friday – Family Night. There’s something special for everyone. Be sure to check with the Pro-shop
about membership packages and check out our website for E-specials.
Golf making you hungry? Check out the menu at Diablo’s. Chef Jeff
Reiher is grilling up some great burgers, hot dogs and more. Look
for Jeff’s “Specials” for some really good eats. Whether a quick
snack and a drink at the turn or a full-meal delight after play,
Diablo’s is the place.
Be sure to visit the Pro-shop to find the latest golf equipment, bags
and golf fashions. New items are arriving almost daily, so keep
checking in. You’ll always find something new to improve your game or make you feel better about the
game you have. Need more help? Lessons are available from our PGA professionals.
