Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency 2nd Annual Hero 100 Ride coming to Diamondhead The 100-kilometer (62mile) Hero Ride leaves War Memorial Park in Pass Christian at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 9. The ride is taking place to raise awareness of organ, eye and tissue donation. Riders can also choose 31mile, 10-mile or 1-mile fun ride distances. A 1938 Roadmaster donated by the Gulf Coast Bicycle Club will be raffled at the event. Riders will be arriving in Diamondhead between 9:15 and 10:00, that morning, and will stop for a brief rest at the corner of Kapalama Drive and Golf Club Drive before entering Diamondhead. They will then head to the water tower, take a right onto Diamondhead Drive West, following that to Diamondhead Drive East, make the loop back to the

water tower, exiting Diamondhead on Golf Cub Drive to Kapalama, and head back to War Memorial Park for the finish. Directional signs will be placed along the course to expedite the cyclists ride through Diamondhead and will be picked up after the last riders exit onto Kapalama. Last year a total of 117 riders participated, 80 to 90 road the entire course, including the Diamondhead loop. More riders are expected this year. We are very fortunate to have golf cart / pedestrian lanes for the majority of the route through Diamondhead. The only portions of the ride without the lanes, are the short section on Diamondhead Drive East from Kalani Drive to Golf Club Drive, and the portion on Golf Club Drive from Ka-

palama to the water tower. Hopefully, the City will be able to add similar lanes to these areas in the future. Bicycle safety is of key concern for the ride. In Mississippi, bicycles are considered to be vehicles. As such, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers. Cyclists are required to come to a complete stop at stop signs, obey all traffic signals, and ride with the traffic flow. They are not required to ride on sidewalks or bike lane, if one happens to be available, but must ride as close as possible to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway, unless it is unsafe to do so, they are passing another cyclist, or making a left at an intersection, private road or driveway. Mississippi requires that

A car cannot make a right turn at any intersection or onto a highway or driveway, while or just after passing a cyclist, unless it is safe to do so. A motorist may pass a cyclist in a no passing zone when

it is safe to do so. Cyclists are required to have a white front headlamp visible from 500 feet, and either a rear reflector or read taillight also visible from 500 feet. They cannot ride more than two abreast on a road unless in an area where so stated. Unfortunately, Mississippi is one of the few states that does not have a helmet law for cyclists, no matter the age

of the rider. Diamondhead Geaux Hike Club will be on the streets of Diamondhead in early March to remind Diamondhead residents and visitors of the importance of obeying our safety laws and also making them aware of this year’s Hero Ride.

BUSINESS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

DIAMONDHEAD COUNTRY CLUB & PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. Financial Summary, January 31, 2019

By Bob Marthouse

As another Mardi Gras is drawing to a close, I hope everyone has been enjoying themselves with all the festivities! Your Diamondhead Board of Directors and the POA staff have hit the ground running in 2019. We continue to work diligently to provide for our community while remaining vigilant on operational efficiency and keeping an eye on our future. One of our ongoing goals is improving communications, and in line with the Board’s strategy, we have hired a communications firm to help us streamline and enhance our communication methods. This is a time for change and reform for the POA, but this is not an overnight process. We look forward to working together and collaborating with our membership for the betterment of our community. As we near the end of the first quarter, I also wanted to take to this time to remind our members about some house-keeping items that come with being a covenant-controlled community. Because these covenants are intended to protect our property values, we all have an obligation to follow the covenants that exist in Diamondhead. If you have questions about the covenants, please reach out to the POA.

COMMUNITY CHURCHES SERVING DIAMONDHEAD St. Thomas Episcopal Church invites you to join our Wednesday dinners Come break bread with us and enjoy the fellowship of our Wednesday evening shared dinners at St. Thomas, held at 5:30 p.m. each Wednesday from September through May. Let’s get to know one another as we share a meal and as we welcome you with hospitality and warmth. Bring a dish of your choice to share and dress casually. There is a short program afterward (a movie or discussion). We have learned that one of the most valuable assets we can have in life is our supportive relationships with one another. We eat together because it makes us feel good and warm inside as we talk, laugh, and interact with each other. The congregation of St. Thomas is reaching out to you offering friendship and support in a Christian atmosphere. Join us and let’s get to know each other and share the wonderful camaraderie. St. Thomas is located at 5303 Diamondhead Circle, across from the Community Center. Would like to invite anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one to a six-week Grief Support Group. The six-week program will begin on Tuesday, March 26, 2019. If you or someone you care about has been dealing

with the emotional pain due to the loss of a spouse or any other dearly beloved person in your life, you are invited to participate. This will be a structured program, which includes some educational information on how to understand our overwhelming feelings of loss and coping skills to better deal with them. It will also provide a safe and caring support group and an opportunity to share our own personal memories and issues. The goal of these groups is to provide our community with a support vehicle to deal with the difficulties and emotional turbulence that follows the death of a loved one. Grief is a normal human process that all people experience in the course of life. The healthiest healing involves a process of working through the pain. We grieve most effectively when we find ourselves with others who understand and are willing to hear our pain. The groups will provide a safe, confidential place to share individual memories, thoughts, and experience and begin the process of moving into the next phase of your life. The Grief Support Group will last for six weeks and be held at St. Thomas Church at 5303 Diamondhead Circle, across from the Diamondhead Community Center. The meetings will start at 6:30 p.m. on March 26. If you have any questions please call

Estelle at (228) 234-2651, Cornelia at (228) 363-2211, or St. Thomas Church at 255-9213.

SPCA OF DIAMONDHEAD P.O. Box 6481, Diamondhead, MS 39525 (228) 861-2287 Seniors Adopting Seniors By Toni Grey

How many times have you heard a senior citizen say that they are too old to get another pet? Their objections usually include, “I don’t want my pet to outlive me,” or “I don’t have the energy to train another dog.” People are living longer and, in many cases, they outlive their friends and spouses, which can lead to loneliness and depression. If you are a senior, you may want to consider the far-reaching proven benefits of having a pet. According to WebMd, pets provide a comfort system and actually produce a chemical chain reaction in the brain that helps to lower levels of the stress-

Church

Czar

inducing hormone cortisol, and increase the production of the feel-good hormone serotonin. In fact, pets have been shown to reduce blood pressure and stress levels in humans and can actually fight depression. The American Heart Association reports many research studies indicate that owning a pet may help protect against heart conditions. All great reasons for seniors to have a

pet! Recently an octogenarian friend of mine adopted an 11-year-old cat whose owner had passed. My friend tells me that there isn’t a sweeter more lovable cat anywhere. They bonded instantly and the cat seems to realize how fortunate she is to have a new “mom.” The good news is that there is an abundance of adoptable senior pets. If your nest is empty — by

circumstance or by choice — think about getting a dog. Known for their devotion and happy dances, dogs can take a big bite out of isolation. Or if you are less mobile and want to just hang out with a fluffy, furry entertaining cat, studies show they have a revitalizing effect. And whether you own a friendly lap cat or a quiet introvert, the sense of companionship and love you have for your pet can be just as

enriching as any other friendship. We are featuring Czar, a medium-sized Terrier mix, about 4 years old. He’s laid back and calm. Church is a Russian Blue, 5 to years old. She is blind, but may see shadows. She loves attention and is very friendly, and affectionate despite her disability. Either one of these pets would be great for a senior.

CLUBS DIAMONDHEAD WINE CLUB By Lou Ertel and Marshall Kyger

The Diamondhead Wine Club is dedicated to the exploration and enjoyment of wine. At each monthly tasting, we sample at least 6 different wines and learn a little about their history and origins. The Club is open to any who are interested in enjoying and learning about wine. Join us at our upcoming tastings: A Bang For The Buck Night, Thursday, March 21, 7 p.m. at the Club Haven’t we all stumbled into that wine, at whatever price point, where we exclaimed after tasting it, “Wow, this is great and especially great at the price!” or something like that. We’re on a search to identify six wines that meet that description and bring them to the March tasting. Who knows what we might stumble across? But we’ll definitely find some! Oh, and if you have a wine you feel fits in this category let us know so we can share it with the Wine Club. Cost is $35 for DWC members and $45 for guests. Please make reservations by mailing your check payable to DWC to P. O. Box 6523, Diamondhead, MS 39525 or by emailing Lou at louertel@aol.com or Marshall at mekygs@cableone.net. A A Road Less Travelled, Thursday, April 18, 7 p.m. at the Club

The DWC will wander down a different road and try some wines a little off the beaten path. For years, American blush or rosé wines were mostly sickly sweet, e.g. white zinfandel. The French have long known that you can make excellent rosé wines that are dry and even full bodied and some American producers are joining their ranks. A rosé or two would be an excellent springtime wine. Other wines that we taste less frequently are Syrah and Petit Sirah. These can be lush and delicious and many more are becoming available. American producers have also greatly improved their offerings of Pinot Grigio aka Pinot Gris. Or, we might stumble across a Riesling. Join us and see where A Road Less Travelled leads us. Cost is $35 for DWC members and $45 for guests. Please make reservations by mailing your check payable to DWC to P. O. Box 6523, Diamondhead, MS 39525 or by emailing Lou at louertel@aol.com or Marshall at mekygs@cableone.net.

Krewe of Olympus holds annual Mari Gras ball By Mary Alice Sierveld PUBLICITY CHAIR/SECRETARY

The moon outside wasn’t full but it certainly was inside the Emerald ballroom! On the evening of Feb. 2, the Krewe of Olympus held their Grand Ball. It shone down on members and guests as we celebrated our 12th annual Mardi Gras ball. The Emerald ballroom was transformed into a blue and silver wonderland. A full moon shone over the stage, with a deep blue starry back drop. Greek pillars draped with blue tulle, silver garlands , and lights also graced the stage. The chandelier over the dance floor was draped with more blue tulle, a moon and silver stars. The table centerpiece was a Greek pillar, cascading blue tulle, fairy lights, and a lighted moon globe at the top. We started at 7 p.m. with Mary Alice Sierveld, pageantry committee member, welcoming all to this grand event. Past Olympus royalty, known as the Janus club, were honored. Sadly, we have lost six of these royal members over the years and we took a moment to honor them. Portraits of many past royalty were displayed at the back of the room. The grand march from “Aida” played softly in the background as present members were

Debutantes Catherine Rene Authement and Kaleigh Rae Wharton

On Stage Committeeman Ken Dropco, Aphrodite Candy Motz, Queen Jeanne Hawkins, King Kurt Braun, Apollo David Motz, Committeeman Zeljko Srsen

introduced and thanked for their help in preserving the history and traditions of our krewe. The master of ceremonies, Doug Maxwell, then danced his way to the podium to the tune of “Blue Moon.” Doug is a long-time krewe member, past vice-president, music man par excellence, and King Zeus VII. He introduced the color guard consisting of members Bobby Emery, David Motz, and Paul Larsen. Carlene Dabroval sang the “National Anthem” for us, and the guard retired the colors. The anthems of the five branches of the armed forces, as recorded by the United Military Academy

Band, were played and each past service member was invited to stand as his or her anthem was played. We are a very patriotic group! Current royalty from the other krewes were introduced, to include Ron and Dinah Rhoades from the Krewe of Diamondhead and Wayne Maxwell and Pam Marshall from the Krewe of Selene. The king and queen’s guests of honor were then presented. The queen’s sister and her husband, Novaline and Robert Shirley and her niece Patricia Hansell greeted the crowd, followed by two VFW Post 2880 members and their spouses, Jr. Vice Comman-

der Pat Laird and his wife Beryl and Trustee Wally Piper and his wife Xochilt. Doug then related the history of the krewe, going back to March 2007. It was formed along the lines of the Rex organization in New Orleans. The main purpose was to form a krewe with fewer members and rotating board members in order to obtain new ideas. Founding members were Jerry and Hilda Bourg, Rufus and Beverly Bruce, Bob Lewis, Bob and Diane Meith and Jim and Lee Seglund. Three members were in attendance, the Meiths and Beveraly Bruce. The current officers and directors came next. They

are president Betty Maxwell, vice president Josette Grace, secretary Mary Alice Sierveld, treasurer Sue Foster, and board members George Baker, Kurt Braun, Candy Motz, Don Perkins, and Cherie Ramseyer. Quite a few members helped with decorations and they were asked to stand and be recognized. Doug gave us a brief history of the Greek gods and the attributes that lead us to choose them to extol and personify our organization. We then rose as 2018 King Zeus XI Hiram Skaggs and his Queen Hera Nancy Winters said their final farewells. They were escorted by committee men Ken Dropco and Zelko Srsen. 2018 Apollo and Aphrodite, Phil and Cheryl Ramseyer, were escorted by commit-

tee men Rick Sierveld and John McDonough. Three trumpet blasts announced the procession of King Zeus XII Kurt Braun and his beautiful queen, Jeanne Hawkins, escorted to the stage by Committeemen Bobby Emry and Larry Sullivan. All were delighted to have Kurt with us again, as he has been in physical therapy and was just released! Apollo David Motz and his lovely Aprhodite Candy Motz then made their way to the stage. Olympus is the only krewe to include debutantes in their grand ball.

Doug read both the girls lists of achievements — very impressive! Committeemen Larry Sulivan and Bobby Emry presented the debutantes with medallions, gifts from the krewe. Past Queen Hera and Debutante Chair Janie Dropco also made a special presentation to the deb-

utantes. Krewe president Betty Maxwell then presented the royal flag to the king and queen. Queen Hera XI, Nancy Winters, presented the royal goblets to them, and the king then offered a toast to his queen and members. King Zeus X also offered a toast to the royal court on behalf of the

krewe. The king and queen led the grand march, and had their first royal dance to the timeless song, “Moon River.” They were soon joined by Apollo and Aphrodite, The Krewe of Janus, the debutantes and visiting royalty. Dinner was then served, and it was a feast fit for the gods! Tomato basil soup, a

filet over a fried green tomato, green bean casserole topped with onion rings, and Lyonnaise scalloped potatoes. Chef Eli made a special presentation of the dessert, Tiramisu, at the royal table. After dinner, we ate and drank and danced to the fabulous music of the Regulators. What a perfect night!

A great deal of work goes into putting on such a grand event, and someone has to have a vision that members can help to realize. Our very special someone is President Betty Maxwell, who put in many, many hours into finding all the materials needed and directing us in decorating

the ballroom the morning of the event. As stated above, we are a small krewe and it feels like one big family. We have a few openings, so please consider joining us. Call Mary Alice Sierveld at 363-1923 or e-mail to marysier@bellsouth.net. Our next event is a Toga Party — great fun!

When the weather has cooperated the golf activity has been fairly busy. Even with the challenging weather to start the year the condition of our golf facilities in Diamondhead have been better than most according to golfers traveling through the area. Our golfing guests, from near and far, compliment Diamondhead Country Club on our service, hospitality, facilities, golf course conditioning, and our community as a whole. We appreciate your help spreading the good word about golf in Diamondhead. March is just one of many exciting months for golf. The PGA Tour Champions Rapiscan Systems Classic Qualifiers are again being held on our Pine course on March 22 and March 25. We also will be hosting the Diamondhead High School Golf Invitational, one of the first high school major championships of the season, on March 12. Also, the inaugural Jack O’Neill Memorial Golf Benefit will be held on March 30. These events along with a few others and the increased activity from snowbirds should make for a busy month. Our 22nd Annual Sweetheart Scramble was held on Sunday, Feb. 10. A strong field of couples participated with handicaps ranging from low single digits to higher double digits. Everyone had a fun time with this event. A few couples that typically travel in for the Hawaiian Couples Invitational even made their way in to join the fun and make some memories. Congratulations to Gen Mansbridge and Ced Smith on defending their title! Would you like to help? Help Diamondhead leave an impression by getting involved. Whether it be playing in the pro-am, sponsoring, or volunteering during the event, we need your help and all of our community’s support. Call or stop by the DCC Golf Shop to get more information on how you can do your part. The opportunities to help are plentiful. The PGA Tour Champions Rapiscan

2019 Sweetheart Scramble Champions, Gen Mansbridge and Ced Smith

Systems Classic is a first-class event that needs our help. If you did not register to volunteer at Fallen Oak and you prefer to serve closer to home then keep in mind we will once again host the qualifiers for the PGA Tour Champions Rapiscan Systems Classic on March 22 and March 25 on DCC’s Pine golf course. Thanks to all of our residents and members, the Gulf States PGA and PGA Tour thoroughly enjoys coming back to Diamondhead and calling us as their second home.

The Golf Academy of Diamondhead can get you enjoying the game of golf in no time. Golf instruction is available all levels of play and especially beginners. Stop by and give it a swing! We guarantee that you will be glad you did. Attention junior golfers — if you are between the age of 5 and 16 and you have some golf experience we would like to extend an invitation to try out for one of our Diamondhead Junior Golf Teams. Call or stop by the golf shop for more information. Our new season started the week of Feb. 25 and runs into May. It’s not too late to join. Weekly practices and competitions. It’s the real deal! Usually, I would say it is critical that we all fix two ball marks and fill two divots every hole ... any two will do! Now more fitting would be ... ball marks and divot repair. It’s your course so fix four or more for either/or and they don’t even have to be yours. We look forward to seeing you play more golf. Let’s all get out

The SHAMBLE format was won by the team of Jerry Jones, Tony Palmature and Reny Pangan with team score of -39. I don’t remember ever seeing a team score that low in this format. The team of Art Burgone, Tom O’Connell and Bill Roofner came in second with a score of -30, the same as Chick Baerson, Glen Brooks and Paul Cain. In the ABCD 2 BEST BALLS format, the team of Charles Cangelosi, Gene Demedicis, Pat Jarrell, and Jerry Jones recorded a team score of -33. There has been some humorous discussion concerning how those four ended up paired together. Second place was earned by Glenn Conover, Warren Morgan, Joe Murray and Gary Riera with a team score of -30. Since we have some extra space this month, here’s some information published by Dave

Pelz, the Short Game/Putting Guru, concerning whether or not it’s better to leave the flagstick in the cup when you putt. According to his research, his studies show conclusively that you should putt with the pin in assuming that the pin is securely in place, standing upright and not swaying in the wind. The reason is that a significant amount of energy is lost from a putt’s speed when the ball hits a fiberglass flagstick. The speedloss enables gravity to pull the slower-moving ball down into the hole more often. It would be interesting if all of us would try this out and see if we agree. Question: What is the ruling when a putt does not fall to the bottom of the cup, but is jammed between the flagstick and the edge of the cup. Answer: The putt is considered holed.

Jan. 17 was black mark day. Lottie Williams, Mary Czaplicki, Terri Woolbright and Dianne Ackerman placed in the 1st flight in that order; followed by 2nd flight Terri Garrett, Colleen Jones, Joanne Fried and Becky Stritzel.

Birdies were made by Dianne Ackerman, Margie James and Becky Stritzel; chip-ins by Lottie Williams, Dianne Ackerman and Billie Crowley. Closest to the pins were Marian Wideman, Terry Woolbright and Margie James. Feb. 7 was Trophy Day and Teresa Ertel was the overall winner. Cassandra Godbold, Dianne Ackerman, Becky Stritzel, Terry Woolbright and Amy Swint all placed in their flights. Birdies: Teresa Ertel, Cassandra Godbold and Pam Taconna. Chip-ins: Cassandra Godbold and Teresa Ertel. Closest to the pin: Dianne Ackerman, Terri Woolbright, Cassandra Godbold and Margaret Papaleo. General Meeting was held on Jan. 31. Rules Committee: Rule 9 — The water hazard rule does not apply for the tee shot on par 4’s and 5’s. Rules 14 and 15 are eliminated due to USGA rules changes. New rule for play days: when the horn blows, everyone must come to the club house and wait for further instructions. Newly adopted Diamondhead rule: For lost or out-of-bound balls, you may drop a ball anywhere between where the original ball was believed to come to rest, or went out of bounds, and just into the edge of the fairway no closer to the hole and take a 2-stroke penalty; or choose to hit again from original location with 1-stroke penalty. Trophy Days will alternate between net and gross scores to win. The Cardinal will be closed during July and August for resurfacing greens. Our tee times during that period will start at 8:26 and run through 9:08. The “Diamonds in the Rough” tournament raised $2,500 for the Hancock County CASA program. Vicki Stein is our new “Sunshine” person. Please let her

know of any member news to be shared, or cards to be sent.

Well, by now I had sincerely hoped to be able to tell you all that warm weather had returned to the Coast, and I could report on several Nines golf competitions. However, yet again Mother Nature has had other plans. We did manage to get in play on Tuesday, Jan. 8, with our first competition being “Throw Out the Highest and Lowest.” As its name implies, you play your regular nine holes of golf and then the hole with the highest number of strokes and the hole with the lowest number of strokes are removed from your final score, which is then adjusted as reflected by your handicap. The First Flight winners were: 1st Place, Theresa Mauterer; 2nd Place, Judy Tauzin; and 3rd Place, Linda DeParto. Second Flight winners were: 1st Place, Sue Richards; 2nd Place, Marsha Roberts; and 3rd Place, Kathie Pierson. In the Third Flight the winners were: 1st Place, Sylvia Corban; 2nd Place, Renie Dack; and 3rd Place, Delores Louvier. During this competition, Kathie Pierson had a Chip-In on #13 and Judi Brannan had the same on #18. Good way to start out the new year. On Monday, Jan. 14, we all received an email that read: “Due to very cold, windy and gray weather conditions, the Nines official play for January 15th has been canceled.” Once again the weather conditions shut us out. This is getting just a bit tiresome! The game for Tuesday, Jan. 22 was Any 5 Clubs and a Putter. During this competition, as the

NOTA BENE Betty Maxwell’s 14th Annual SPCA of Diamondhead & Hancock County Food Pantry Pet Food Drive, And Homeless Veteran’s Coat & Blanket Drive, in conjunction with RE/MAX Coast Delta Realty was a huge success! A tremendous thank you goes to all who donated and/or participated, from Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, in making this an annual success for those in need. There is such a need to help throughout the year, but I do this especially during the colder winter months to keep folks and animals warm. After my retirement in December 2016, RE/MAX Coast Delta Realty has been extremely supportive in allowing me continued usage of their very busy office as the drop-off location. This year, we successfully turned over $1,800 to SPCA President Thelma Hopkins, along with about 300 pounds of cat and dog food to the SPCA of Diamondhead, who shared the food with the Hancock Animal Shelter. We also donated another 300 pounds of pet food to the Hancock Food Pantry. So many wonderful coats, blankets, socks, caps, suits, sleeping bags, tents, shoes, and much more was donated to homeless veterans in Hancock County, as well as to the VA in Harrison County.

again stepped up to pick up and deliver the donated items to the appropriate veteran organizations. Broker Jon Ritten and veteran and Realtor Jude Smith also assisted in loading up the trucks with donated items for delivery. My four-legged rescue buddy, Chili, was also assisting in this great event. Another huge thank you to all donors, a gentle

reminder to help control the pet population by spaying or neutering your pets, and a thanks for all of your donations, kindness, and patriotism! Thanks to Broker Jon Ritten of RE/MAX Coast Delta Realty, 5400 Indian Hill Blvd., Diamondhead. Betty Maxwell, (228) 363-1430, bb2dougmax@gmail.com

GEAUX HIKE CLUB Walking Club Recommends Reflector Belts: A newly formed club of walkers is urging people walking on the streets of Diamondhead that have a golf cart path to wear reflector

belts or vest to reduce their risk of being hit at night. The club’s members enjoy walking and hiking on local paths as well as visiting other locations. Emphasizing safety, they urge walkers and bike riders to wear an inexpensive reflector belt that sells for around $10 on Amazon. It is easy to put on and take off and on a dark night it will reflect light and identify their location. Several Diamondhead drivers have described close calls when driving at night or at dusk of not noticing a walker in the dim light. Anyone seeking information on joining some of the club’s hikes and walks can call Obie Watts at (225) 907-2425.

game in their respective flights. Well, amazingly, we did get our round in; and the gals making the best club choices were: Flight #1 — 1st Place, Susie Fontenot; 2nd Place, Linda DeParto; and 3rd Place, Ann Nutting. In Flight #2 wise choices were made by: 1st Place, Kathy Jones; 2nd Place, Shirley Halterman; and 3rd Place, Margaret Sherwood. And, in Flight #3 best club selections were made by: 1st Place, Marsha Biestek; 2nd Place, Mary Mizell; and 3rd Place, Carol Wyrosdick. As I am sure you are all well aware, the final Tuesday of January did not bode well for any of us. As

temperatures plunged even here on the coast we were forced to hunker down and turn up our thermostats. February has got be much better, or we all may have to migrate to the Equator. On another topic, I am sure those of you who read these articles are noticing several new names among our competitors. We are very pleased to have all these gals join our group and want to once again remind those of you who live in Diamondhead or our surrounding communities to look into joining us for some fun golf and great companionship. We are always eager to welcome some new faces.

It doesn’t matter how good or bad your game is we play for the fun of the game. I, personally, am often heard telling fellow golfers that I am never sure who will show up on the course — the gal who knows how to play or the one who plays like she has never had a club in her hand. Just contact our Club House (228-255-3910) for additional information about the Diamondhead Nines.

MOST HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH SPRING 2019 GOLF TOURNAMENT A modified Scramble will be played on the Cardinal course with a shot-

gun start at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 13. The Silver Slipper will provide food on the course while Henderson Ford will give prizes for a Hole-inOne on Par 3’s. Prizes include a new Ford Fusion, new clubs, a golf trip, etc. In addition, there will be several homes on the course offering free drinks or food. Last year, there was a full field of 144 players, which resulted in three or four additional teams not being allowed. Door prizes are given out immediately after checking in on the play date so that you don’t have to hang around after play ends. Cash prizes will be

27DN

awarded to four teams in each of the four flights immediately after play ends. Ties will split the cash that’s involved. Last year, the final team turned in their scorecard 4 hours and 35 minutes after play started, so don’t expect a five- or six-hour round. The only extra money involved, if you want to, is a 50-50 prize. Last year, the winner won $500. Entry forms are available in the Pro Shop. Turn in your completed forms to the Pro Shop or give it to Ernie Knobloch. Phone (228) 255-0546 or email EKnob245@cableone.net.
