Easter Brunch was sold out! If you have not attended a specialty Brunch, you must
make sure you do. Chef Chris was off the charts on melon carvings, ice sculpture, and
food presentation! Be My Guest Golf Tournament was so much fun for our new
members to invite their prospective members, we signed up several new families.
Spotlight this month is on two of our Ambassador Couples.
Marilynn & Mel Tolle - The Tolle’s have been Ambassadors
for almost 2 years. They recently moved from Fairview and left the donkeys and cows behind
and moved to a new home on the 15th green and love their new surroundings. They enjoy
meeting friends at The Club for dinner or drinks and visiting with family and 8 grandkids, especially the youngest, 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Kate.
Jessica Oakes & Kevin Carney – Jessica and Kevin are new Ambassadors this year and really
enjoy using golf as their quality time together. They love travelling for long weekends that involve wine tasting, boating, and golfing. A fun fact about Jessica and Kevin is that they are both
from Long Island NY but moved here 16 years apart and then met! You will find them at the
club drinking craft beer and red wine, depending upon the day!
We can now accept member payments via EFT. If you are
interested in taking advantage of this option, please
contact Shanny at 972-529-6779 x 206.
Also, remember to update your email addresses with us for
billing purposes and to stay up to date on everything
going on at the Club.
May is upon us. It is amazing to think that the year is almost half over. May
brings warmer days, more sunshine and plenty of opportunities to enjoy
everything that your Club has to offer. I want to highlight 2 things that
should not be missed: Party on the Patio and Dinner Club. Party on the Patio offers great food and
good music; combined with warm weather and good friends – it cannot be beat. Dinner Club offers
Chef Chris an opportunity to experiment and to present a dining experience that cannot be duplicated in the McKinney area. If you only like steak and potatoes, stay away; but if you want to have your
taste buds challenged and amazed, sign up and be dazzled.

Welcome to the May edition of Calef’s corner. I am excited as I write this because the weather
is warmer and the golf course is in GREAT condition. We have had a perfect spring for growing,
and that in combination with the hard work put in every day by Aarons staff equal a great golf
course. The grass is green and plush, the leaves are filling the trees, and other than a few thunderstorms, the sun is popping up daily, and staying up until after 8PM. If you can find a way to
cut out of work early during the week you should have no problem getting all 18 holes in before sunset.
That leads me into the one topic that I try to touch on every month, and that is how to improve at the game of
golf here at Eldorado. This month is simple…..PLAY MORE GOLF! When I am giving a private lesson one of the
things that we focus on is hitting a lot of golf balls. The reason is simple. Most players don’t get in the necessary practice to build a solid, consistent golf swing. It is the reason that you may play two or three holes well,
but then have a blow-up hole or two, and then “find it” again and play a couple more good holes. With good
fundamentals and repetition your swing will be consistent from shot to shot, hole to hole, day to day. This
time of year by playing more golf, you will find that your scores will go down; I just can’t promise that it will be
immediately. ☺
This time of year is a when I also like to bring up another topic that affects our golf course, but more importantly, our practice facilities. One of the great things about Eldorado is the fact that you can walk 100 feet
from the clubhouse to hit range balls or practice your putting. This is a very convenient facility that way. What
we need to watch out for as we get to longer days and especially with school getting out soon, is children on
or near our putting green and driving range. We are a special place because of our family atmosphere, but we
need to be mindful of where our children run and play. Outside of the obvious concern of someone getting hit
with an errant shot, as children play things inevitably get broken. We have already had to replace 4 cart signs,
all of the flags on the putting green more than once, and a storage container near the cart staging area. The
items that I speak of are relatively small, but do add up and cost money over time. I really appreciate everyone
cooperation with this issue. If you see someone walking or playing in an area that is dangerous or where they
are not supposed to be, please make the staff aware so we can handle the situation. Thank you again.
As always, Thank You for Being a Member!
Fairways and Greens,
Mike Calef, Head Golf Professional
Our Member Relations Director, Amber
Cox, is Engaged!! As much as she would
love for all of you to be at her wedding,
there is not a facility large enough to hold
everyone who wants to be a part of this
special event. So instead, her and her
fiancé would like to invite those who want
to be a part of this happy occasion to come
out on Thursday, May 21st from 6:30-8pm
to meet the man that stole her heart and
enjoy some hors d’oeuvres and happy
hour drink specials!
Well, May is finally on its way in and hopefully some good golfing weather along with it. We’ve had some good days and
some rainy cool days but everyone seemed to be in the mood to play golf so the rain didn’t stop anyone.
The Member/Member game was scheduled on the 22nd and 29th of April and I’ll announce the
winners on the next newsletter.
Mike came out to play golf with the girls in April and gave us all some good pointers on how to play
and we all enjoyed having his help. Thanks Mike!
Coming up on May 13th is our exchange with Heritage Ranch. We have 25 ladies signed up. The cost
is $35-40 which will include golf and lunch. It’s a scramble so all can enjoy playing. It is a fun time and the Heritage
Exchange always has good food and wonderful prizes! A good time will be had by all.
May special events are as follows:
5/13/15 Play Date Exchange with Heritage Ranch (Scramble with Lunch)
5/20/15 Match Play (Deadline 5/19/15 at 11:00pm)
5/27/15 Member-Guest (Deadline 5/26/15 at 11:00pm)
Birthday girls for the month of May are Lynn Hetsel on 5/13 and Nancy Collins on 5/8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and good golfing!!!
Junior Academy
My objective is to provide each junior with the
skills, knowledge, etiquette, and confidence
needed to perform well on a high school team
and eventually college team if the junior desires.
I know what it takes to play NCAA level golf,
and I know how much work it takes to get there
as a junior. I want to give every player the
chance to be a great golfer if they choose to
be.
In this program, juniors receive time
and attention on the golf course through group
lessons as well as an individual lesson each
month, allowing specific player and skill development.
Areas of concentration will be:
Repeatable full swing development
Short game
Course management
Confidence
Positive Attitude
Last month was a busy month for us with the Eclectic, the Exchange, and Mars/Venus. Hope everyone had a good time playing in
those events and made some new friends along the way. And, I’m sure
you’ve all noticed how nice and GREEN the course is looking with all
those April showers!
With May here already, be sure and get your guest lined up
for Member/Guest coming up June 11th and 12th. Also, Presidents Cup
begins June 1st. Other important dates to remember in May are the
Solheim Qualifier play dates, Saturday the 9th, Thursday the 14th, Saturday the 23rd and Thursday the 28th. There are also 2 Interclub play
dates in May, Thorntree on the 19th and Canyon Creek the 27th.

Hey TEAM ELDORADO,
Another successful spring season with lots of
wins and lots of fun. We appreciate everyone working together to make Eldorado a fun place to play
tennis despite all the rain and make up matches! I
know it is frustrating, but we had a great season
and the weather will be 100 degrees before we know
it! Congrats to our juniors on their team tennis
seasons at school and we look forward to a great
summer of gains for next fall…don’t be afraid of the
2 a day offerings as we will pace it with lots of tennis, skill building, team activities, and much more
to get better everyday. The unlimited option is a
steal this summer as we offer 16 classes per week.
This option is easily $500 or more at any other facility…we feel that if you will commit to more JD
then we will commit to make it more than reasonable. (remember—unlimited is a 3 month commitment for the summer due to the price discounting)
We look forward to seeing you at the fun
events scheduled for the summer and
don’t forget we kick it off with the
105 tournament on Memorial Day
from 9-12 so get a team ready for
the big event!

As we head into May we have our first core aerification scheduled to take place on the 4th. These
aerifications are a very important cultural practice that helps us manage the thatch layer in our greens.
Without managing the thatch our greens would become soft and spongy, susceptible to disease, and display inhibited drainage. We will be pulling a 3/8ths core and expect the time to heal to be about two
weeks. Thank you in advance for your understanding during this process.
Thank You for being a member!!
