Countryside placed 5 women golfers in the top 10 in the Roanoke Valley Women's Golf Association City-County championship. Congratulations to Becky Bondurant who tied for second place overall and Sara Cole who came in third along with Marilyn Bussey, MarC Milona, and Kit Davis. They received the McCorkindale team trophy. These Countryside women also hold the HOF team (Hall Of Fame) title.

These ladies are the pride of Countryside Golf Club and have been so for years. They don't get enough "kudos" so let them know we are proud of them. Marilyn and Becky can be found at the Countryside clubhouse most days.
Irrigating the 12th fairway
On another note - how about the new manager - Todd has made substantial improvements to the golf course. Let him know the next time you are up at the clubhouse. When you talk to him it does not take long to realize he really cares about the golf course. Todd has worked hard in his short amount of time here to improve the maintenance and IT SHOWS!

Valerie,
My brothers and I played Ole Monterey yesterday to establish a point of reference.
Countryside has a ways to go on:
Establishing weed-free tee boxes
Weed-free greens
Pot Hole-free cart paths
Defining fairways.
Ole Monterey is an excellent course, but Countryside has a better layout. Ole Monterey is long from the blue tees (championship), but so is Countryside.
We were joined for our round by a local golf huckster. He wanted to take money from my brothers and I (Paul Newman-The Color of Money). Luckily, we were playing so badly that we were under no delusions of grandeur. When I told the guy that I was helping in the effort to save Countryside, he told me that, "That place is shot."
I disagreed. He just lacked vision, motivation,and resolve.
Yes, it will take more than a few months and longer leases to get it in shape.
Let's think positive!
