Dear Member, 

 

We are working hard to get the pool ready for the summer while ba ling the       con nuous rain we have had this season.  The pool will open on Saturday, May 23rd for the season.   

 

May will be full of opportuni es for you and your family to have fun and make  memories at the Club.  We will start with the Annual Stockholders’ mee ng on the 9th, followed by a pre symphony prime rib dinner special.  Then a great Mother’s Day Buffet on the 10th.   The Birthday Lunch Buffet and the Argen nian Wine Dinner are on the 14th.  We will end the month with a Pool Opening Day Party on Saturday the 23rd.  Please check elsewhere in this newsle er for addi onal details on all the above.   

 

Our “Wine of the Month” for May is a wonderful Malbec wine from Argen na called Kaiken Malbec Reserva.  Dine at the Club and enjoy a glass.  

 

One exci ng announcement for our Club is the arrival in May of our new golf cart fleet.  We have increased the number of carts in the fleet while saving the Club some money on the annual cost. 

  

We had a very good and successful year for the Club mostly due to your support and guidance that do make a difference. 

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

  We are indebted to Will Hartenstein, our Golf Professional, and the addi onal staff at the     

El Dorado Golf & Country Club for making the ABCD Scramble a total success! We had 52 players   

arrive on April 21st and Will, as always, was amazing with the pairings, carts, rules, and scoreboards. 

Will greeted players and welcomed them to the course. He represents the friendliness and efficiency 

of the club with an awesome ability and gentle spirit making the event a great golfing day. Hopefully, 

this will encourage out‐of‐town players to return for the Ladies Fall Invita onal in October. 

  Thank you to the Chairpersons for their hard work and ensuring our Round Robin to be a 

wonderful success: Linda Hays, Tournament; Jaunita Pyle, Social; Peggy McLarty, Prize; Jean Williams, 

Publicity and Virginia Frisby, Treasurer and in charge of registra on. It takes an organiza on when 

tournaments are planned and executed and the WGA is a great suppor ng group. 

  The golfer for the month of April is Jaunita Pyle. She has been a member of the WGA for 

many years serving as a past President, Yearbook chairperson, and currently in Social chairperson. A 

much suppor ng member, Jaunita lives in Smackover and yet maintains an ac ve membership with 

our group, too. Thank you Jaunita for your loyalty to the El Dorado WGA. I enjoy playing with you  

immensely! 

See you on the course!
