Weekend Rain Cancelling Your Golf Game?
Come Practice or Shop Instead!

The weather forecast for the next few days is for more rain than we've seen here in a while. If the rain keeps you from getting out on the course, you can still come get your "golf fix" here at CGC.

Our driving range with artificial mats is often the first golf facility in the area to open after rains. Even if the range is closed, the pro shop will still open at its regularly scheduled time (9am Sat & Sun, 10am Mon-Fri) and stay open until around 5pm. If the range is open, the shop will stay open regular hours as well.

Please call the pro shop to check status: 760-720-GOLF (4653).

Whether you can practice or not, now is a great time to catch up on golf stuff you usually don't have time for because you're out playing.

Top 15 Reasons to Visit the Pro Shop on Rainy Days:

1. Change the spikes in your golf shoes - bring them in and we'll do it for you
2. Re-grip your clubs -- huge selection in-stock, often changed while you shop
3. Try on golf apparel and hats when you're not sweaty from practice
4. Save big $$ on closeouts - clubs, shoes, clothing & more!

6. Test indoor-use training aides
7. Fiddle with all-new models of GPS units
8. Pick out a book or DVD to take home and wait out the rain
9. Sign up for your SCGA Handicap membership
10. Roll some balls with a new putter on our indoor green

Blood Drive Next Friday - Donors Needed

We need your help to help others! Our online sign-ups for the Blood Drive are only halfway to our goal!

Most of the still-available appointments are from 1:30-4pm, so take advantage of a great reason to get off work early or bring your kids to the range after school.

The American Red Cross bloodmobile will be at CGC on Friday, January 11 from 12:00-5:30pm.

It costs you nothing more than an hour of your time to give the priceless gift of life. Blood is in critically short supply this time of year due to high car accident rates and people focusing on other activities. Start the New Year out right by being a "Holiday Hero" to someone in need.

For your scheduling convenience, you can reserve a donation appointment time online by clicking this link or go to www.givelife.org and sign up under sponsor code: CarlsbadGolf.

Appointments not required, so just drop-in if you're eligible to donate.

GIVERS GAIN - Every donor will receive:

	Black Limited Edition T-shirt from ARC
	Free large bucket of range balls or equal value added to your CGC range card
	Coupon for 25% off any one item in the CGC pro shop (some restrictions apply)
	Optional entry in ARC regional "pick a vacation" drawing (winner picks a trip for two among five featured trips)
