| SUNBIRD BANDITS FUND NEW 8th HOLE TEE BOX This weekend, the SunBird Bandits fulfilled their commitment to underwrite the cost of a new tee box on the 8th hole by presenting a check to the officers of the SunBird Golf Club. The donation, which covers all of the direct costs for the construction of the newly enlarged, tiered tee box, comes from the proceeds of the 2024 and 2025 SunBird Bandits tournaments held each February. The project, spearheaded by Kelly Davis, also included many volunteer hours of laying drainage pipes; transporting, leveling and compacting fill dirt; laying sod; pouring concrete; grooming the tee box; etc. Thanks also to Jeff Seaman, Greg Wilson and Dave White who were directly involved. Instead of a ribbon cutting, both Kelly Davis, SBGC Vice President and Steve Seel, Bandits President, took inaugural tee shots after the check presentation. The 100+ members of the Bandits are pleased to continue their long history of providing substantial financial support our golf course.  SBGC President Scott Stohr (center) accepts the check from Bandits (L to R) Duane Dub, Treasurer; Steve Seel, President; Dan Carrol and Ed Leonard, past officers.   Kelly Davis and Steve Seel show great form as they take inaugural tee shots from the new elevated tee box. (For what it’s worth, they both missed the green confirming that the SunBird Golf Course remains much more challenging than it appears!)

ATTENTION: PUTTER PICKER PEOPLE  Please stop using your putter picker to remove your ball from the cup while the flag is in the hole. These cups were cut the morning of the Labor Day Tournament and they are already showing damage. If you want to pick the ball up using the end of the putter, PLEASE remove the flag and pick it out. Thanks from the Greens Keeper Committee. |
RANGE AVAILABILITY CHANGE
The range is CLOSED from 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday to 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday. This is for picking and mowing and will continue through the summer months; it is also a better use of our manpower. Thank you!

NOTICE! The golf club has changed the call in times for tee time reservations:
Public and residents will get 14 days instead of 7 days.
Golf club members will get 15 days instead of 8 days.
Reclassified Golf club members will get 16 days instead of 9 days.
The reason for the change is to give people more time to plan. Sunbird golf course is a destination golf course for some, and this lets them plan better.
