Hello again–
Robert Stevens, Joe Radwanski, Douglas Zenger and I survived Quail Valley (El Dorado). We had fun on the recently renovated course that we got to experience playing in the cold rain. We will definitely play Quail Valley again. It was very challenging on most holes. 3 of 4 par3 holes were a little over 200 yards! We played from the blue tees. Beofre we teed off, one of the people in the pro shop kept telling us that we are crazy to go out there to play on the wet course. I told him that we are here for the love of golf and that it should show you how much we love GOLF! After playing the round, we wanted to go back to the pro shop to show that we survived with flying colors, but all of the people we saw that morning were already gone for the day. Yikes!
We will keep you posted on the upcoming golfing event on February 20th in the North-Northeast or East-Northest subzones.

Here is what I have said on my email to everyone on the distribution list the day before Thanksgiving and want you to see it online as well–
Hello to everyone–
I wanted to use this time to wish you all Happy and Safe
Thanksgiving! I want to say a few words as well — I am thankful for
SETdga being alive, a good group of deaf golfers and all the support
from all the golfers and non-golfers (family, friends, etc).
I wanted to let you all know a few things to look forward to from
December to the next year of 2010.
December 12th (2nd Saturday) is the upcoming monthly golfing event
that will be at a course that will be picked by members in NE/SE
Houston.
January 2010 may be a great time to host a holiday dinner to show our
gratitude for all the happenings at SETdga and give ourselves an
opportunity to get to know each other better off the course. We, the
officers, will find a number of restaurants in convenient locations
that we can find and use for the holiday dinner.
January 16th (3rd Saturday) will be the next golfing event.
March/April 2010 should have the annual scramble that may have 3- or
4-men teams using the best ball format. We are still trying out golf
courses and gathering information like prices and scheduling options.
What I am hoping for is more participation and playing times with our
SETdga friends and more involvement from everyone to make SETdga grow
bigger and bigger for the year 2010. I do miss seeing lots of golfing
action with different deaf golfers. I hope that we can get together
more often and work together to make SETdga a better deaf golf
association for everyone and years to come.
Please feel free to email me for anything — ideas, comments,
suggestions and any kind of assistance to or from SETdga.
Please visit http://www.setdga.org from time to time.
Thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving to you all,
Rodney Fetter
President
SETdga

Here are the results of last Saturday’s 2009 2-Men Scramble at Oakhurst:
Champion — Robert Stevens/Rodney Fetter
Runner-Up — Wes Swanson/James Nidiffer
We (Robert and I) thought there was going to be a sudden death opportunity,
but it ended up that we won. I was glad that we got to be able to get this
scramble going even with the low participation level. It was very smooth
and fun. Good pace of play.
We hope next year means more participation from other golfers. We will
keep you all posted. Please keep your eyes open for the 2010 4-men
Scramble (anyone welcome) details on the website and by email. I hope
to be able to work with the officers and members soon to work on the
scramble. Let’s start brainstorming for ideas together. You all know how
to email me… SETdga is all about you all in the deaf golfing community.
Thanks.
