It's been a year since my two year term started last May 2008 and I have received some really great feedback at our meetings to discuss my objectives on how to improve club membership and invitational participation. Several clubs have stepped forward with some ideas that can be implemented for improvement in both areas. I expect to hear from more clubs on how our objectives can be effected.

With two invitational events, in Tucson and Los Angeles, under our belts this year, it looks like we are building up steam to enjoy two more events, Portland on September 4-6 and San Francisco on October 2-4. This will be the first time for many years that there have been four Federation sanctioned events in one year. The host clubs make plans for their events at least a year in advance to set up an agenda for all clubs to enjoy. Host clubs know that you have to make a choice. Mark these dates on your calendar and send in your entries as early as you can to insure that you have a slot reserved as each club has announced that a limited field has been set.

We look forward to seeing you at the remaining 2009 events this year. The camaraderie at these events have no equal when meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances and this was very evident in both of this year's venues.

Great golfing to all,

Cheers,

Hugh Lee
