Cozad Country Club
McGinnis 4 man scrambler/Haymaker Open/Cozad Country Club Tournaments
Hello!
We would like to thank you for your past patronage of the Haymaker
Open/McGinnis Memorial Tournament or any other tournament held at the
Cozad Country Club. We have changed the dates on both the McGinnis and
Haymaker Tournament for the 2019 golf season. As you may know we have been
having the Haymaker tournament for over 60 years and as we look back at the
history we have had several changes in the date. This letter is to inform you of a
change. We have scheduled this year’s Haymaker tournament for July 20-21. This
is a change we are embracing for several reasons. The main one is sharing our
tournament weekend with Cozad’s Bands, Brews, and Barbecues and this has
conflicted with our Saturday’s attendance for the Calcutta and dinner. We want
you to be able to attend both events. So we are moving the tournament to the
following weekend.
We invite you to mark your calendar for this new date. We are already meeting
with Haymaker Committees to improve on past tournaments and make this the
tournament you remember!
Friday will include a practice round, Champions Dinner (everyone is welcome to
attend with RSVP); Seniors division, Calcutta, and Dinner on Saturday, and final
round on Sunday.
Please spread the word and we will too!
The McGinnis Memorial tournament has also changed dates. This year we will
have the tournament on June 8 th and 9 th , just one week later. This has been a very
popular tournament and we hope you will join us again this year. Cash payouts,
Calcutta, and dinner just like previous tournaments.
We would also like to announce the name of our new golf superintendent. Shad
Wellman began full-time February 1, 2019. We are excited for this new beginning
and look forward to what he can do for our course and membership. We are
planning a get together in March for golf (weather permitting), lunch, and
conversation about the upcoming season and the plans for improvements for the
course. You are welcome to attend…check out our website and if you are not on
our email list and want to be please let us know. We are including a list of our
tournaments with this letter so please spread the word and join us for the 2019
golf season.
We are also making a few improvements in the clubhouse which will now include
a bar area. We have sold 10 barstools to help pay for this improvement and will
have the buyers name/or business on a plaque on the back for life. We have two
left as of today. All costs of this project thus far have been from donations. If you
would be so inclined to help in this project or perhaps something on the course
please let a Board member know…we do have damage on the course due to the
flood which may require some investments to recover.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Cozad Country Club this summer.
