Merle, Suzanne & Shea-Lynn

New member Suzanne joins the Cresta Loma Golfers Hole in One Club! - Congratulations Suzanne!!!
An exciting Sunday in Tubac Carl, Bob, Merle and Suzanne went to the infamous Rancho golf course in Tubac famous for the Tin Cup. Little did they know they would be crowning a new celebrity when Suzanne made a hole in one! She hit her tee shot stiff at the flag and hit the pin and everyone knew it was close so they watched and watched and then the ball disappeared! Suzanne joins a distinguished Group of Cresta Loma Golfers; Mark Bertrand has aced 2 at Quail Canyon, Steve Nygren has aced one at Quail Canyon, and Carl aced one at Apple Mountain in Michigan. Tradition; you have to finish the round, have a witness, and buy drinks for your buddies then you need to watch for an announcement in the paper. Cresta Loma Tradition: Next time you see Suzanne, buy her a drink and congratulate her!

There are usually between 200-300 people that come out to mingle with friends, dance and enjoy the music. Upcoming Knowledge, Fellowship & Projects: The Old Pueblo Clubs next dance is scheduled for Saturday, December 7, 2013. This is the largest dance of the year and everyone including me is looking forward to it. Guests receive special holiday treats which usually includes a photo with Santa and Mrs. Clause.
