Another Rainbow Golf weekend outing is officially in the books. In past years, the club typically took advantage of lower rates and lighter crowds during the first weekend after Memorial Day.  However, as we have all become less tolerant of extreme heat, we are still wanting to keep the tradition going---so we've made a shift to early May.  This change is offering more comfortable weather for golf while also helping us avoid the surge in pricing tied to the BNP Paribas Open and the desert concert season!  

​

Two great venues----Woodhaven Country Club and Mountain Vista---Santa Rosa course.  Each offered its own unique challenges and plenty of memorable shots along the way.  

​

A warm welcome to new members Glen, Lynn and Brian K. at their first Rainbow outing, and welcome back to Nora, who previously joined us on our Wisconsin trip. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nancy surprised us with chocolate chocolate chip cake instead of her banana bread--always a treat!!!  She also bought a sun shade for her golf cart, which seemed to help keep temperatures comfortable.  Robert kept the laughs rolling throughout the weekend with his quick wit and steady stream of great jokes.  Steve was determined to spend the day at the beach---or at least in the bunkers.  Fortunately, he discovered he could use his putter out of the sand traps.  Brian K. battled an unstable driver/shaft connection on Saturday and had to resort to using his 3 hybrid off the tee.  However, he was surprised to find himself in the fairway instead of his usual adventures in the trees.  Ron T.'s son-in-law, Brian S., shot par for the course. His beautiful swing was a pleasure to watch all day, at Woodhaven. 

 

Congratulations to our big weekend winners:
