Nine and Wine

A new event at CTCC is Nine and Wine. During the tournament you could sample different wines on four of the nine holes. For some players the wine improved their game, for the majority, there were high scores. After the tournament, members gathered at the pool for scoring, refills, and our world-famous camaraderie. First place winners with a score of 25 were the Shand's and the Tulio's. Head Pro, Mike Krick and General Manager, Brad Bourret presented Ray and Lalia Nuzzolo with a special gift and sincere thank you for allowing the golf professionals to modify their RV as the temporary Pro Shop after the major fire damage. Our members love golf, and nothing stops them from enjoying the game.

The event was so successful more variations of Nine and Wine will be offered with entrees, select beers, and additional drinks.

The annual Governor's Ball was held last Friday with the unique theme of "Trace In Bloom". The elegant evening was attended by more than one-hundred members and guests who enjoyed one of Chef Marty's first-class dinners coupled with dancing into the late evening with music from The Vision Band.
