FROM A MEMBER

Hi Mike [Cook],Hi Mike [Cook],Hi Mike [Cook],Hi Mike [Cook], What a wonderful job you and your staff did once again on the ladies member guest [Mountain Magic]. From the moment I got there ‘til I left, you all made the experience first class, welcoming and so much fun. You have a great, hard-working group of men and ladies from the pro shop to the outside staff to the dining room. They work tirelessly and always have a smile on their faces—not always easy to do as I know only too well. I will look forward to seeing you next year! Life is good!

Sincerely, Cindy PereiraSincerely, Cindy PereiraSincerely, Cindy PereiraSincerely, Cindy Pereira

Being one of the new division heads here at Desert Moun-tain, I have had almost a

full season to evaluate the

golf team. The evalua�on has iden�fied some wonderful people, but the one person that has risen to every occasion is Dan Sewalk, C/G Head Golf Professional. Dan flat out Gets It, and understands how to manage people and deliver on the li6le things that provide superior service. He is organized,

dedicated and disciplined. Those quali�es show in the service that is given at C/G and exemplifies the core values that we con�nuously build upon here on the Mountain. Thank you for all your hard work, Dan!
