Jean Kraus When I was a little girl I remember my parents going to the cemetery on Memorial Day weekend to place flowers on the graves of our loved ones, some of whom had served our country in World War I and World War II. Previously, this holiday was called Decoration Day since the graves…
Carolyn Brinkley We just couldn’t wait until Thanksgiving to highlight and thank local businesses that have generously supported the MountainView/Preserve Lady Niners (MPLN) throughout the year.

Barbara Johnson As if the temps hadn’t been high enough, the SaddleBrooke Lady Niners aren’t letting the heat keep them from playing and enjoying the course. They began the month of June by wrapping up the President’s Cup competition. After four rounds of match play, our 2017 winner emerged. Our winner this year is Lois…

Bob Edelblut There is absolutely nothing like a hole-in-one! Everyone connected to the moment feels the thrill either directly or vicariously. That thrill never gets old. Many in the community have been wondering if the Men’s Club Hole-in-One Train was broken or maybe out of commission. Thank you, Grant, for dispelling these ugly rumors. On…
Bob Edelblut Every golfer for miles around knows just how unfriendly the weather has been in our area this spring. Remember the wind? Monday, April 17 was different. Clear blue skies, temperatures in the low 80s and not a whisper of wind; a perfect day for a Pima Cup Match hosted by the Ventana Canyon…
