In honor of those soldiers who have served our country and those who made the ultimate sacrifice of losing their lives so that we may have the ability to live a life without tyranny, I would like to personally thank you and spend a moment in silence. I hope all of you would do the same as you read this blog today. Without them, all of this is irrelevant and insignificant. I thank you all and honor you all who have served our country.

We had a busy weekend with over 210 golfers each day since Friday. Today looks to be another great day with a lot of space for walk-in traffic. Golf Course Superintendent Scott Werline and his staff continue to do a fantastic job.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday, May 27^th) we start our maintenance of the greens on the back nine, and only the front nine will be open. Wednesday the golf course will be closed and the Azul Restaurant will have a limited menu. We will reopen on Thursday with all 18 holes having been aerated and sanded. It will take about 7 days for the greens to heal.

Our Monarch Pass Frequent Player card program is going strong. On Saturday alone we sold over 21 passes. A big "thanks" to my staff for helping the customers see what a great program this is. The special rate of $125.00 will end on May 31^st. The normal rate of $200.00 will start on June 1^st.

A reminder that we will be starting Double Tee Starts at 7:00 am June 1^st. We will have three full turns each day; the first tee times will go from 7:00 am to 9:00 am in the mornings. We will then start again for Twilight at 11:30 am to 1:30 pm and finally we will have super twilight from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This whole program allows us to have double the morning tee times before it gets too hot.

At Azul we will be having the first of many Summer Family Style Dinners. Seating is limited, so please call for reservations. Dinner will include Fried Chicken, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw and dinner rolls.

On the Anthony Kim watch, Anthony participated in the Crown Plaza Colonial Invitational in Fort Worth. Anthony finished in a tie for 40^th. Not a lot of highlights. Anthony did have a run of 5 birdies in a row yesterday to keep the round exciting. His plan is to come to the desert and prepare for the US Open at Torrey Pines in La Jolla. Anthony has fond memories of Torrey Pines, having won the Junior World Championships there.
