To My Fellow Member at our Scottsdale Golf Club, The Country Club at DC Ranch ,I cannot believe that we are already into October with the course closed for over‐seeding as we prepare for the rapidly

approaching winter season at our Scottsdale private golf Club.

As I look back on this very quick year. I want to mention just a few items of interest and things on my mind about our great Scottsdale Golf Club: First, our staff and what we have been able to accomplish with great leaders —The Country Club at DC Ranch a Scottsdale golf club, is becoming well known because of the steps that we’ve taken, the changes that we have made, and the results that we have achieved. IT ALL STARTS WITH GREAT LEADERSHIP. We have that now throughout our Scottsdale private golf Club and they are moving to surround themselves with more competent and professional staff. Thank you to all of our staff at the Scottsdale golf club, those that have been part of our Scottsdale private golf club family for years, as well as the newest members of the team. This Club would not be what it is without you. We are proud of all your hard work and all your efforts in making DC Ranch the best Scottsdale private golf Club in the city!

A huge thank you to all of our Scottsdale golf club volunteers, from our Board to all of our Committee Members, that help make this Scottsdale private golf Club work better. This is a working Club with many working Club Members! Many thanks for all you do. Please know that your efforts do not go without being noticed ‐ you are the very best. THANK YOU!! This has been a year none of us will ever forget with a record number of new members becoming part of our great Scottsdale private golf Club. I want to wish all those I have not yet met a very warm welcome. As we continue to listen to all of you, we hope that we are making a difference in your Scottsdale golf Club experiences. If, however, any Member is unhappy for any reason, please let me or anyone from our Board know about it. What makes DC Ranch special and different is the total experience ‐ the whole package so to speak. If we are not exceeding your expectations, we want to know.

Lastly, as a fellow member of our Scottsdale private golf Club, I ask that you please support your Club the best that you can. Always remind yourself that, by using the Club first, it helps all of us in the long run. So when you are thinking about where to go on that Saturday night for dinner, think about trying the Scottsdale golf Club and see what our new Chef might have to offer. Or, when you need a new set of clubs or a dozen golf balls, buy them at your own Golf Shop! I guess what I am saying is buy where you are not just a Member, but an owner – a partner with each of us. That’s DC Ranch. It is a bargain in the end. Be proud of your Club. Thanks for being a part of the experience. See you next time, Jon C. Flora.
