Mike to share his River Landing Wheels Mike Vandiver will be using his wheels for the next 6 weeks or so. But eventually he will using his new and improved feet to scamper across the course, to dance at the Christmas Ball, and chase Teresa around the house. When he puts his wheels in the closet he will rename them "River Landing Wheels" and make them available to others who may need them for a spell.
Mike is looking good 5 days after his operation(s). He is ready to get out and about and will likely be at the Annual Meeting on February 2. Here's to ya Mike!

Rob Flower Lights up Scoreboard We all know Rob as a quiet, certainly not bragging type. However Rob: This is fair warning. If you continue to shoot the way you did this past week you are going to be bragged about! Yep, right here in The RLMGA Newsletter. After all, a 68 on The Landing while it is winter, the course is wet and the greens soft? His great round included 5 Birds, one Bogey and 12 pars. Don't know if this is a career low or not. We do know it may be the best we see at River Landing this winter!

Thank You Jim Next year we will get a new treasurer for the RLMGA. Jim has been the first and only treasurer for us these four years. He has handled not only our dues, 50/50 money but also set up bank accounts, kept books and held the MGA Board accountable for how YOUR money was spent. He did this while working full time, being a good friend and neighbor of all us "Yanks" that moved down here. It is people like Jim that has not only welcomed us but helped us in running our groups and organizations. Every MGA Board meeting opens with a "Report from the Treasurer". He has been professional and concise. In short: Our money has been in good hands. Alert to the man that follows: You have big shoes to fill! Thank you Gentleman Jim

| Gary Wintrode Tames #18 on River |
Down the hill. Off the wall. Onto the Green. NOTHING BUT CUP!!!!
Next to only a Charlie Scheaffer Double Eagle, an Eagle on a Par 4 is the rarest of rare shots. A search of the odds comes up with answers depending on handicap, the course etc, but the most common is in the neighborhood of 40,000 to 1, putting it near a hole in one. Well, we had one of those "rare shots" last Thursday, December 29. And it occurred on a very difficult # 18 of the River Course. Gary Wintrode, had hit a good tee shot to about 135 yards out, on the small hill to the left of the fairway. He pulled out his 4 Hybrid as playing partners Frank Della Rosa and Henry Briley watched expecting nothing spectacular. But they got something special. Okay, at this point Gary would like to report his next shot was a soft, high draw that hit the edge of the green and rolled gently into the hole. Well, it wasn't exactly that way, but, well, maybe not really close to that...except it went into the hole. The route it took off the club involved a little side trip above the water, off the wall of the water falls, a perfect bounce (planned) and onto the green...and into the hole. EAGLE! Pure shot. Pure Skill. Gary said it was one of those "Oh Sh-t" shots." What is it John Miller says, "Don't let your mouth get in the way of a good shot?" Well, Gary was smart enough to only think bad thoughts so he could preserve the result of the shot. Indeed, The Eagle had Landed!!!!!
