The second
annual CCGS Ruby Miller Scholarship Scramble was held on June 4 at
Indian Tree Golf Club in Arvada. The weather was great and 47
enthusiastic golfers teamed up to enjoy golf, lunch, and prizes.
About $2000 was raised for the scholarship fund through entry fees
and other donations. Four scholarships are awarded annually to
senior girls desiring to go into coaching. Thanks to all who
participated in the tournament and thanks also to coaches who
encouraged their athletes to apply for the scholarships.
The team of Annette
Kvamme (Adams City), John Mann (Adams City). Lo Hunter (Evergreen,
ret.), and Larry Schreiner combined to shoot a 67, a new tournament
record, two strokes better than last year's winning score.
Next year's
tournament is tentatively set for the second Friday in June. Watch
for the entry blank in the Coaches' Comment next
spring.
Anyone desiring to
serve on the committee for the tournament should contact Mary Kvamme
at 303-421-8392. If you know of any business which would like to
sponsor the tournament please call Mary.
The CCGS Ruby Miller
Scholarship was established in order to recognize senior athletes
who plan to go into coaching. The award also honors Ruby Miller
(Adams City, ret.) one of the most respected coaches
in Colorado sports history.
We hope coaches will
talk to their athletes, find out their future plans, and encourage
them to apply for this scholarship. There are usually four awards
of $500.
Congratulations once again to our 2004 Ruby Miller Scholarship
winners!

Nothing seems official anymore unless you have a web site!
We are in the process of catching up with the times and started
building a web site! Nothing fancy, but it might make our lives a
little easier to keep up with CCGS information. Right now it is in
the construction/trail phase and it is posted on a free web server
so you might see some advertisements.
You will be able to view past newsletters, scholarship info,
download forms, and even submit all-state ballot information.
Everything currently on the web site works so check it out and use
the “Feedback” form to let me know what you think including any
additional information you think should be on the web site.
The
address is: www.angelfire.com/alt2/ccgs.
Thank
you,
