THE DIVOTS – February 2019
From the Pro Shop
The Oro Valley Senior Championship The Views Golf Club at Oro Valley hosted the 2019 Oro Valley Senior Championships January 12-13. A field of 48 players participated in 3 different flights. Winter Weather Does it seem like we have had an unusually cold and wet winter this year? While we have had only a few frost delays, it’s important to review details regarding the cold weather. The frost line is 520-825-0322. This line is updated no later than 6:30 am. Tee times that have been affected by frost delays may be adjusted as we catch up times caused by cancellations. Please check our website (theviewsgolfclub.com) for up-dated tee times. To keep you warm throughout the winter months, check out the new Views women’s and men’s winter knit hats. We also just received men’s and women’s fleece jackets and pull overs. Pass holders will receive 25% off these jackets and pullovers. Stay warm and make a fashion statement all at the same time. Course Maintenance With the increase in rounds here at The Views comes the increase in ball marks and divots. Let’s all do our part by obeying the gate system and by fixing our ball marks (and one other) and filling our divots. If we all do this, we will continue to have the excellent conditions we have become accustomed to at The Views. January Results Congratulations go out to Steve Aggers for his hole in one on the Par 3 3rd hole on January 7. Steve used a 6 iron from 150 yards. Great shot Steve.
The Championship Flight (gross only) winner was Jon Lindstrom from Lakewood, CO. Jon shot 5 under par 139 for a convincing 8-shot victory over The Views’ own Tom Beach. In the White/Gold Division Robin McCool from Center Valley, PA, bested a field of 23 to take low gross honors with a 36-hole total of 2 under 142.
