Access to Kitchen Area (March 25, 2023) NEW ACCESS TO KITCHEN AREA New keypads have been installed on the door leading into the kitchen from the outside and on the small supply closet just outside of the kitchen door in Retzlaff Hall. A master code will be held by SEPO. When hosting an event or otherwise needing access to the kitchen, a temporary code can be obtained from Valerie in the office. Keep in mind, if there is a weekend event, you should obtain the temporary code prior to Valerie closing the office on Friday. In the event, you have an unexpected need to access the kitchen and Valerie is not available, the President of Women’s Club will assist you. The temporary code will be deleted the following Monday or in an otherwise timely manner following weekday events. Upon leaving the kitchen, the interior doors will be closed and must be physically locked, from inside the kitchen and people will exit from the kitchen to the outside after physically locking that door. If you oversee closing the hall, lock the doors, and exit through the kitchen as described above. The kitchen area is currently open on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. If a person in charge of an event wishes to lock the freezer, that person must check the key out from the office. If the freezer remains unlocked, there are cameras in place for security in the hall including the kitchen and storage room which can be reviewed for up to three months, if necessary.

Referrals from neighbors are helpful. Be sure to get a bid so you know what you expect it to cost. Do not pay the entire amount upfront. Be wary of solicitors who come to your door uninvited, even if they come with an excuse to be in the neighborhood for some other reason. This is not an accusation against any person or company, but rather a reminder that you must protect yourself in your business dealings. - Share Nelson, President, SEPO Sent 2023-09-08: Resident passing - I wanted to inform the community that Jim Foster passed away early this morning at his home. - Lenore Combs Sent 2023-09-08: Name Tags Are In & Names are on Website - Rather than posting the names of those who need to pick up their Name Tags from the office on the Website in plain sight in the 'emails sent' section (HERE ), I have created a page in the 'Residents Only' section (HERE ) with the list of names of the 'recent' Name Tags received by the Office and also the list of names of the 'past' Name Tags which Valerie has had in the Office for some time. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2023-09-08: Concern over "workers" in Sunshine - Dear Friends, Today, 7 September 2023, there was a Hispanic man in here driving a white pick-up truck (sort of late model, well-used condition etc).

And for me personally, that means it's time to think about the Oct 2023 Sunshine Newsletter. Yep, that's right, you all need to start thinking about those great articles you are going to be composing and sending to me, the once-again Sunshine Newsletter Editor. Normally you will be getting Newsletter Reminders on the 17th and 23rd of each month from September thru February. But since this is the first edition of the season, I'm giving you an early reminder. I spent part of Saturday reviewing and making some slight updates to the Newsletter Guidelines. The updated document is available on the website HERE . Again, I’m thinking this first Newsletter in particular, would be a great opportunity for everyone who manages or participates in one of our clubs (like Women's Club or Rock Painting) or activities (like Golf) to ‘get the word out’ about them. I’m hoping that you provide the following types of information for this Newsletter, in addition to the normal Activities info for the month of October: Club/Activity Name Contact Name(s) Is there a Board? Do you ‘meet’? If so, where and when? Are meeting minutes, etc. provided? General Description. Some of this info is on the Website (but may need to be updated ) HERE AND HERE . What needs to be updated/corrected on these pages? What else can be displayed on these pages? What additional pages do we need/want? This is a perfect opportunity: For you to review and become more familiar with the Website . For me to get the Website updated with current and correct info. Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live. As always: Please provide your articles to me – by September 24 at the latest. The earlier the better. When you have your article prepared, please submit it to seponewsletter@gmail.com . If you need some examples of prior year Newsletters, they can be found HERE . Thank you all in advance for helping me get the word out and keeping the community informed. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2023-09-03: Closure of Various Common Areas - Waxing and stripping will start Tuesday, September 5, 2023.

Jean and Denny Eich have agreed, at least for this Sunday, there will be Ice Cream for sale at 7 PM during the band's break. However, if noone steps up to assist the Eich's with this ongoing, this Sunday will be the ONLY Sunday Ice Cream will be served. If several residents volunteer, that means the duties of having the pleasure of meeting new folks and conversing with others you already know - all while serving them a delicious treat - won't be your responsibility every week. It will only be periodically, that is unless you want to do it every week. LOL It is my understanding the duties consist of: purchasing the ice cream making coffee serving the ice cream cleaning up the kitchen afterwards The Ice Cream is a Women's Club activity so please step up and contact the Women's Club president Eileen Anderson at 507-317-0296 if you would like to volunteer.

Clubs & Committees (Summer 2021) Additional Details COMPLETE Neighborhood Watch Utility Ride: April 12, 2021 Sent 2021-04-19: REMINDER: Neighborhood Watch Utility Ride this Tuesday 1pm - Dear Friends - Reminder - tomorrow 1pm at Retzlaff Hall door. Use your golf cart. We will travel around SCCE checking out power poles, transformers and other stuff. Looks like good weather too. Next month is STOP-THE-BLEED month. We can give a class if you like. - safely - very interesting. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW-CERT Sent 2021-04-12: NW - CERT Information and Utility Ride April 2021 - Sunshine Neighborhood Watch – CERT Team (Est. 2008) Harlingen’s premier NW & CERT Team.

Combs, Coordinator, 956-245-1276, LJCombs44@gmail.com Dear Friends: We will NOT have the usual “Virtual” NW-CERT meeting this month of April. BUT - Instead of our meeting, we shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday 20 April at 1PM . Everyone is invited. Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue. We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich. Back to “instead of our usual meeting” We shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday the 20th of April at 1PM sharp. Everyone is invited. Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue. We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich. If Sunshine has an “issue” this summer, such as a power or flooding condition – we are in it until professional help arrives. So, sharpen up your learning curve and join us. See how we can immediately respond safely at the scene. For instance, stay away from downed power lines or report a downed line. On the other hand, if water is running wildly down the street or a gas odor is detected – take appropriate action. Your safety is job one. (Best to notify the Board or the Office before any action is taken. But if it is a case of serious emergency and if action was taken – make sure they become aware). Another example - Did you know if you are in your car, if a power line falls on it, the car will channel electricity around you, so you will not get hurt? You get help by honking the horn or yelling out the window – even use your phone. Warn passersby NOT to come near your vehicle. If you would have to exit your vehicle that is touching a power line, you would have to jump out of the car with both feet touching, and landing with both feet together, to avoid getting shocked – then shuffle away with both feet touching. Take a look at some of the CERT materials available (for free). IS 317 - Introduction To Community Emergency Response Teams is a great start. Also, take a peek at the AEP Web site – good info. We shall all have fun learning about the dangers of Utility Poles, the anatomy of a Utility Pole, why they are dangerous – stray voltage, dangling wires, transformers and chemical toxins etc. COVID commandments: Wear your mask- Wash your hands- Social Distance- Act Responsibly Lenore J.

My husband, Bryan, & I, moved into the Sunshine Country Club Estates Community in March of 2024. Coming from Northeastern Wisconsin, we appreciate the warmer weather that Southeast Texas offers. The people have been so welcoming and friendly, and we look forward to getting to know “all y’all” better! Your previous Editor for the Newsletter, Beth Parish, has been a Godsend! She has been so helpful and patient with me trying to figure all of this out! Her encouragement has meant the world to me, a person who knows just enough about computer technology to be dangerous.

Question: Could you please direct me to where in the Covenants it says only two information meetings are required? Answer: I can't, this is all I can find in our covenants etc concerning meetings.

The items in bold will be added to our Policy and Procedures: The following motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO at the February 11th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Donations to SEPO: When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise. Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly or implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense. If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for its usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time. There is no guarantee of replacement. If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason. The following motion was brought to the floor regarding trail fees at the February 19th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Long term residents will probably point out this was the intention when the trail fess were established but has been lost over the years. All Trail Fees collected will be placed in a designated fund for golf trails (concrete paths) and not placed in the general funds such funds will be strictly used for maintenance or installation of new golf trails. (Per Beth Parrish - The above has been updated on the Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-laws ).

This is a BYOB and snack type of event . AND - You may think the committee isn't aware that this is the normal Thursday Pavilion Happy Hour event day. BUT - You would be mistaken.

SEPO Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Architectural Control Committee (ACC) See Also: Covenants - Exhibit B concerning ACC (This is from April 2021 Newsletter) The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is alive and well and working in conjunction with the SEPO Board to actively cause residents to follow the Covenants, Bylaws and Policy & Procedures of our Community. Every resident in our community has a legal obligation to comply with our Covenants and Bylaws. These Covenants and Bylaws run with land. They can only be changed by specific votes of our community which are identified in the Covenants and Bylaws. The SEPO Board nor the Architecture Control Committee can approve any construction that conflicts with our Covenants. Every owner has this same obligation. We are aware there may have been past construction, either intentionally or unintentionally, which conflicts with our Covenants and/or Policy & Procedures. The ACC is diligently working to identify and trying to mitigate such infractions. The enforcement action by the ACC and/or the SEPO Board is an obligation that is mandated in our Covenants. This effort is to be consistent for the safety and fairness to all the Owners in Sunshine Country Club Estates. If you are considering work on the outside of your home, repairs or building projects you want to do, based on our Covenants which run with your property, you are mandated to submit a request for review of such a project and obtain their approval before any construction commences. The appropriate ACC Forms are located in the library and can also be printed HERE . There is one warning that needs to be stated. Applicants should obtain a building permit from the City of Harlingen or the Town of Combs or obtain a written statement on letterhead from either of these agencies, that state “No building Permit is Required by City of Harlingen/Town of Combs” for the work shown on the attached documents, signed by an appropriate building official from the respective city/town. Once you have obtained either a building permit or statement that no building permit is needed from Harlingen/Town of Combes, attach your submitted material, and complete the ACC form. Then please submit your form to Valerie in the office. The Architectural Control Committee meets the 1st and 15th of each month. If an emergency arises please contact any person on this committee. Thank you for helping to keep this community strong and beautiful.

If you haven't voted : Voting closes at 1 PM, Tuesday, Feb 18, 2025. If you have voted but didn't sign the "Attendance Proxy" statement. Card tables with Sunshine street signs will be set up in the hall between 12:30 & 1 PM on Tuesday, Feb 18 and members of the Election Committee will assist you with signing in to the meeting. Do not bring your ballot to the hall to the sign-in portion of the meeting. It must be placed in the ballot box. If you own multiple homes or own a lot entitled to multiple votes, you must sign 'each' attendance proxy envelope. If you only sign one envelope and not all you received, the unsigned envelopes do not count as part of the quorum and you must sign in prior to the meeting. If you did not sign the attendance proxy your ballot cannot be counted as part of the quorum. You 'must' come to the hall between 12:30 & 1 PM on Tuesday, Feb 18 and 'sign in'.

Unfortunately the internet in the hall went out twice, therefore, there were major gaps in the video. So I'm making the Tape Recording available. I was told it is very worthwhile listening to - which I plan to do in the morning. NOTE: After the initial announcement of the meeting by Randy, there is a couple of minutes where you will hear the crowd. After that the meeting gets started. Click on the recorder icon below. If you have any issues with accessing this recording, please let me know immediately. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-01-15: SEPO Election Ballots: Final Distribution Totals & Costs - As of yesterday (01-14) around noon, all of the 2025 Election Ballot packets had either been picked up, delivered to residences or mailed at the post office. I thought you might be interested in seeing the totals for each. I went to the post office and weighed one envelope on Monday. It required three (3) stamps @ $.73 per stamp. The cost to mail 87 packets was $190.53. And that was with one single ballot in the packet! And that is why you all have been receiving email after email from me to come get your ballots. Look at what that saved SEPO. I want to give a special thanks to: everyone on the Election Committee. They worked tirelessly beside me these last few days. Tracy Wagner, your Board Treasurer, who sat in the library for four hours answering homeowners questions. Tom Perrier, your Board Director of Streets+, who went with me to the post office today to mail the remaining ballots. Of course, I made him carry them :) everyone who helped me through this entire process to date, answering my questions and guiding me through any process I was unsure of. I'm so appreciative of you all. We can all rest for a while until we start up again mid-Feb determining if we have a Quorum and, if so, counting ballots in order to announce the election results at the Feb 18 Annual meeting. The locked Ballot Box is in front of the office window. You have until Feb 18 @ 1 PM to vote. And I hope you all do so. Bye for now.

Thank you! Sincerely, Pam Davis, Women’s Club President Sent 2025-01-09: 2025 SEPO Election: Candidates - Date: January 9, 2025 During the “Residents & Directors” meeting held on Jan 7, 2025, in Retzlaff Hall at 1 PM, the status of each of the nominated Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) members listed below was validated by the SEPO Board Secretary as defined under Article II of the SEPO Bylaws for the election to be held on February 18, 2025. BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC. ARTICLE II - MEMBERSHIP Members 2.01 Only deeded lot owners of record of Sunshine Country Club Estates, and/or their spouse shall be considered as members of this corporation. Pat Heinerickson Tom Perrier Gay Saxton Lisa Seiser Submitted by Beth Parrish 2025 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2025-01-09: Part of the Minutes from the Directors Portion of the "Residents & Directors" Mtg, held on Jan 7, 2025 - New Business: Election Committee Chairperson Beth Parrish explained the upcoming election process (see below). - Prepared by Randy Davis, SEPO Board Secretary Sent 2025-01-06: 2025 Election: Ballot Packet pickup schedule - Next steps after the 2025 Election Ballot Packets all prepared. BALLOT PACKET PICKUP: On Saturday, Jan 11 and Monday, Jan 13, from 10 AM to Noon each day, the Election Committee will be in the library handing out ballot packets to homeowners. Only an “owner” may pick up the materials. The owner must provide proof of identity and sign for the materials. The Election Committee will then co-sign to verify they were picked up. I know some of you are thinking - everybody knows me. However, no ID - no packet. The packets will be handed out based on the street you live on. So look for 'your street' sign, either on a wall or table, upon entering the library. And yes, if you own multiple homes on different streets, that may mean you will be picking up from different committee members. We did this last year and it saved SEPO quite a bit on postage. The temps this weekend and into Monday are predicted to be somewhat better. So come on over and get your packet(s). MEET & GREET: Mark your calendar. There will be a "Meet & Greet" again this year on Jan 15 from 12 to 1 PM in Retzlaff Hall to provide the nominees with the opportunity to introduce themselves and for you to ask questions. The Women's Club will be providing free goodies during this session. I encourage everyone to attend and get to know the nominees better. Questions? Please contact me at my info below. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-01-06: 2025 SEPO Election: Ballot Packet Pickup - SAVE THE DATE I hope I'm not jinxing myself by sending this info out today, but here goes. If everything goes as planned, the Election Committee will have the 2025 SEPO Election Ballot Packets ready for pickup in the library on both Sat, Jan 11 and Mon, Jan 13 from noon to 2 PM each day . (I want to make note that as I was posting this email on this website page, I just now noticed the times for ballot packet pickup were incorrect in this email. However, as you can see above, I did announce the correct times of 10 AM to Noon in subsequent emails and meetings. Plus an email went out Saturday morning (Jan 11) @ around 10:30 with pictures of committee members indicating we were all ready and waiting in the Library for pickup by homeowners. I apologize for any confusion this particular email on Jan 6 might have caused.) Please attend the "Residents & Directors" meeting in the hall tomorrow, Jan 7, @ 1 PM where I, as the Election Committee chairperson, will give a brief rundown of the steps that we will be executing for the upcoming election. Of course, come eat Tacos, prepared by the Women's Club, before the meeting. See you all tomorrow. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 From Newsletter - Jan 2025: SEPO Election Committee I’m sure you all know by now I volunteered and was appointed by the Board as the Chairperson of the 2025 SEPO Election Committee.

We could get everything done with the number of volunteers so far, but if I could get four or five more of you to step up, I wouldn’t anticipate anybody being burdened with too many tasks. Thanks to everyone who has replied to the emails concerning “Directory verification” and “where to address your Ballot packet to”. I’m working with Valerie to get as much done prior to receiving the SEPO Board candidate names at the January 7 “Residents & Directors” meeting. Also, I will be reporting on some of the ‘ins and outs’ of this committee at this meeting. Hope to see you there. Contact me anytime with questions at my info below. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-22: Link Fixed - 2025 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Mailing - Thanks so much to all who replied with updates to the SEPO Directory. Those updates are now available on the Website at the 'fixed' LINK . Concerning this file, I need one more question answered by everyone by end of day this Friday, Dec 27, 2024 , to let me know if you need your Ballot Packets mailed SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR SUNSHINE ADDRESS . The office is currently preparing the envelopes for the packets so the sooner you reply would be appreciated. The ballots will be distributed/mailed sometime between Jan 9 & 16, 2025. (I have already received this info from a couple of you. Thx so much.) Per the Election Committee Guidebook, by providing this information to the Election Committee, it should resolve issues of a homeowner who is not physically in Sunshine at the time of the election and who may not receive the ballot(s) in time to return it/them by the due date, which for this year's election is Feb 1, 2025 @ 1 PM. If a resident doesn’t reply to the address question above, they will have their election materials mailed to their “Sunshine” address on file as recorded by the SEPO Office. One more thing about the directory currently on the Website, if you see any of your info in 'black & white' I need you to contact me please. If anyone has any questions at all, please contact me at the info below. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-19: 2025 SEPO Election Committee: Need volunteers - Hi All – As I said several times during last year's election, I had a super super team of residents who assisted me on the Election Committee. However, this year, personal circumstances / other commitments are prohibiting a lot of them from participating in this process again. Therefore, I am looking for some of the rest of you to step up and assist me in the process this year. Last year I learned a lot and we also had some 'lessons learned', which should make things go a little smoother this time around. And I for one, had a fun time heading this committee, working with my friends/neighbors, knowing I was serving this great community. FYI - The bulk of the work for the Election Committee won’t be starting until after the Jan 7, 2025 “Residents & Directors” meeting. At that meeting the Election Committee receives the nominees’ names and we hit the ground running. I'm already working with Valerie to prep as much of the packets as we can now. Mailings need to be done by Jan 18, 2025 this time. Please consider helping me out. If you have any questions about any of this, please contact me. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-19: 2025 SEPO Election: Directories Updated - I have updated the Resident Name/Address Directories and also the Email Directory as the first step in order to prepare the 2025 SEPO Election packets.

All other activities/meetings (i.e., Other Golf events, Quilters, Line Dancing, Cards, etc). “PROCESS” for getting an Activity/Meeting request approved. Requestor: Obtain Activity/Meeting Room Request Form from: SEPO office or Document Slot in the Library or Sunshine Web site HERE Submit completed request form to the SEPO Office Mgr as per the priority/time requirements defined in “Item 2” above. If the request form is not ‘required’ in 2.a. above, it should be submitted at least three (3) days prior to the event, if possible. The form should contain as much information as the submitter is aware of at the time of requested approval. As additional details are finalized, such as the actual time of the event versus prep and cleanup times, this new/revised information needs to be supplied to the Office by submitting a revised request form, if possible. This will ensure event conflicts don’t occur and both the SEPO Calendar and the Sunshine website are updated/accurate. When an activity/meeting is cancelled please inform the SEPO Office. For example, a request had been submitted to play a particular card game for a three month period and the group decides to cancel this activity after two months. A revised activity request form will trigger this change to be reflected in both the SEPO Calendar and the website and let residents know the location is now available for others to use. SEPO Board: The Board formally approves/rejects requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg each year (see 2.a. and 2.b. above). Again, any requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg need to be in the SEPO Office before March 1 to give the Board time to review them prior to the March mtg. SEPO Office Mgr: March Board meeting – Ensures all requests to be reviewed at the March Board meeting are forwarded to the Board as soon as received in the office. After March Board meeting – Reviews all other requests as they are submitted to ensure the date(s) and time(s) requested do not conflict with anything already approved and scheduled. For these requests the SEPO Office may contact the Board Secretary and/or the SEPO Communications Manager to get questions answered, issues resolved and/or obtain advice concerning approval/rejection of the request. Approves/rejects and dates the request. Notifies the Requestor of ‘Acceptance’ or ‘Rejection’ (and reason why, if rejected) of the request. (The requestor should be provided with and file a copy of his/her accepted/rejected Request Form for his/her records.) Files the Request Form in the SEPO Office (either electronically or physically). Records/Updates the activity/meeting in the SEPO Office calendar. Ensures the Sunshine Website Manager receives the information to post on the website. “Changes” after Approval. As stated previously, the requestor should provide as much information as possible on the original request form. The form should include days/times for all three of the following, as applicable: activity preparation (decorating, cooking etc) the activity itself (i.e., dinner and dance) cleanup (taking down decorations, rearranging tables/chairs etc) NOTE: Please avoid simply requesting to reserve the area(s) where you are holding your event for the ‘entire day’ – unless you will truly be needing the area(s) from 12 AM to 11:59 PM. As additional details, days/times etc, become final or are changed, please submit a ‘revised’ Activity Request Form, and note on this revision, the date of the original request, which was sent to you when it was originally approved. “Timeframes” on Activity Requests. When you are requesting an area for a recurring activity i.e., Cards and you don’t know what timeframe you will be needing the area for, you may leave the end day/time blank or say ‘unknown’. This will be entered into the SEPO Calendar and the website with no end date. However, when/if you do stop holding the event, you need to complete a revised form so that the office knows your reserved area is now open for others to reserve. This will trigger the office to inform the website manager and will consequently keep the community informed of which activities are occurring at any time. There has been confusion in the past about whether an activity that only occurs during the winter season, i.e., a SEPO Club meeting or a particular card game, needs an Activity Request form completed for each winter season. The answer is ‘yes’. Do Not Assume your ‘winter only’ activity will remain in the SEPO Calendar and on the website during upcoming winter seasons without being approved again. There may be other circumstances not addressed in this process about when you do or don’t need to submit an Activity Request form. When in doubt, submit a form to the office. If there are questions concerning any of the above, please contact the SEPO Office.

Out of Bounds and Water Hazards Course boundaries are indicated by white post and/or low cement or wood barriers. A ball must be completely beyond the boundary line to be considered “Out of Bounds”. Water hazards boundaries are considered to be inside vertical face, and it’s vertical extension, of the cement sand bag walls of the hazard. A ball hitting the vertical face of the sand bag wall and falling into the water without touching ground beyond the vertical extension is deemed to be in the hazard and not be the point at which it entered the hazard. A ball lodging in the wall (space between cement sand bags) of a water hazard is deemed to be in the hazard. Drop point for lodged ball will be where it last crossed the hazard boundary before lodging. All balls “Out of Bounds” or in a “Water Hazard” will be played from the point they crossed the “Out of Bounds” boundary or “Water Hazard” boundary. The ball will be dropped no more than 2 club lengths from the point where it crossed the boundary line (no closer to the pin) (1penalty stroke). If the shot that enters “Out of Bounds” or a “Water Hazard”, from a teed ball, the player has the option to re-tee and incur the standard “Stroke and Distance” penalty. ie.

If a ball is hit from the 7th tee into the “Out of Bounds” behind the 6th green or if a house obstructs the view to the 7th green, the ball may be put into play by dropping in front of the 7th tee box with a one stroke penalty or may be reteed with utilizing the standard “Stroke and Distance” rule. Sand Traps Grounding club to improve your lie or a practice swing that touches the sand is a 1 stroke penalty. Except as indicated in Picking up your ball (1 stroke penalty). A ball may be picked up and marked when 2 balls are side-by-side in a trap. The ball may not be cleaned and must be placed as close as possible to the original position and condition of the lie after the first player hit (no penalty) Casual Water “Casual Water” is defined as any water pooling on the course in any place nor designed as a “Water Hazard”. Pooling can be considered to occur if water is evident around the sole of your shoe when you stand in a wet spot. When in doubt, consult with playing partners. If doubt still exist, play the original and a provisional and consult with the tournament director when the round is completed. When in “Casual Water”, the ball may be moved back or laterally to gain complete relief no closer to the pin). No penalty. Bridges All bridges will be treated as cart paths. If a ball comes to rest on a bridge the ball may be played as it lies or it may be dropped at the closest point of relief, no closer to the hole, and be played without penalty. Tee Box The “Tee Box” is defined as the area on the teeing ground between the tee markers. The “Tee Box” extends from the front edge of the tee markers to a point two club lengths behind the front edge of the tee markers. Only the ball must be within the tee box when teeing off. If the ball is outside the Tee Box when put into play a one stroke penalty will be assessed and the ball must be re-teed and put into play from the Tee Box. When teeing off, a tee must be used. All whiffs are counted. A whiff is when you address the ball, swing and miss. If a ball does not clear the tee ground, the ball will be played as it lies or opt for re-teeing with a 1 stroke penalty. Greens The “Green” is that area of closely mowed grass surrounding the cup. The “Fringe is the slightly longer grass surrounding the green. For our purposes, the “Fringe shall be treated as “Fairway”. When marking a ball, the marker should be placed behind the ball.

The ball will be returned to its original position before putting. Failure to return to return the ball to the original position will result in a one stroke penalty. If the penalty is assessed for failure to putt from the original position, the ball must be placed in the original positioned and putted. A two stroke penalty will be assessed if, while putting on the green, you play from another player’s marker A one stroke penalty is assessed for your ball striking another player’s ball that is lying on the “Green” while putting your ball from any spot on the “Green”. A two stroke penalty is assessed for hitting a club or flagstick lying on the “Green”. The flag may be in or out when chipping or putting from the fringe. If your ball is on the “Green” and the hole cannot be clearly seen, you may ask to have it attended. The flag must be released or removed before the ball gets to the hole. If the ball hits the pin while being tended it’s a 1 stroke penalty. Once a player starts putting he has control of the green and may putt out if he so desires. All putts must be holed. No gimmies! Failure to complete the hole will result in disqualification. Other Rules or Situations Not Covered by Above Rules: USGA rules will deem to be in place when situation or rulings not covered by the mentioned rules occur. In all situations the Rules Committee, made of the League Officers, or their designee(s), will make the final ruling when disputes or rules questions occur. If, while playing, a situation occurs that the players are unsure of, play a provisional ball with deemed relief as well as the original ball as it lies and the Rules Committee will make a determination of the correct sore for the hole after the round. Common Golf Courtesy Exit the "Green" as soon as all golfers have finished putting. Record your scores on the next tee. Do not drive or park carts within 15 feet of the fringe of the "Green". REPAIR ALL BALL MARKS ON "GREEN". Repair and replace all divots on the "Tee Box" or fill them with available sand. Share carts when possible! Rake sand traps after use. Do Not run golf carts through casual water. No practice chipping to the "Greens". Do not spend excessive time looking for a lost ball (3 minutes should be Maximum limit). No loud noises while a golfer is taking a shot. Golfers 90 years or older may hit from the women's "Tee Box" if they desire. Do not drive golf carts between sand traps and "Greens". Practice putting only on the PRACTICE GREEN. Be respectful of workers. Wait till they have completed their task, have waved you up, or are aware of you hitting at them.

Sunshine Garden Club: Meetings, News & Events Back to Garden Club Home Sent 2024-11-11: Sunshine Garden Club Time Change - Sunshine Garden Club Time Change November 12th Retzlaff Hall 5:15pm - 6:30pm Guest Speaker Topic: Soil Rejuvenation and Amendments Can you give new life to old potting soil. Absolutely! What about clay garden soil, Yes. Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants? Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost. Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)! Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro. 4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation. Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine. If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring. Donations will be put towards edging for gardens. See you this Tuesday. - Susanne Ulrich Facebook 2024-09-24: Garden Club Tour - The Garden group is making plans to visit Wild August Gardens in November or December. Stay tuned. - Susanne Ulrich Sent 2024-02-18: Garden tour - Thank you all for joining us at Salinas Family Farm in Lyford on Tuesday. It was a beautiful day and very informative for vegetable and fruits. Cruz Salinas shared some of his experiences and garden secrets with us. One I can share is: he has good luck planting celery with tomatoes. In the valley we have a problem with white fly. This has proven to help with his crop. Some went home with celery, tomatoes, strawberries, cabbage, purple sweet potato and oranges. They have a Facebook page and will announce "U Pick" for their produce when available. - Garden Club, Susanne and Debbie Sent 2024-02-18: Garden Club Speaker: Pictures - If you remember this announcement (see below) or even if you don't, the Sunshine Garden Club welcomed speaker Dr. Julie Mustard on Jan 9. The day started with a tour of Texas Avenue at the Butterfly Garden. She pointed out what pollinators were present and how to attract more. Very Informative.

All are welcome. Come February we will plan a trip to a park which features native plants. - Susanne Ulrich Sent 2022-12-20: Garden Club: Tips (Before & After a Freeze) - It's disheartening, but we do have a need for the knowledge provided in this email.
