FROM THE BIG SIR MIKE DAVIS
I wanted to wish every one of you a great
2015 and say how glad I am to be a part of
this wonderful organization. When I moved
to Reno 3-1/2 years ago, I knew only my
Daughter, Son-in-law and my lady friend
Dee. Through a set of fortunate circumstances I was
introduced to and became a part of the SIR
organization.

FROM THE LITTLE SIR
As your new Little Sir for 2015 I'd like to tell you all
a little about myself. I have lived in the Lake Tahoe area
for the past 40 years and worked as a building contractor in
Nevada and California. As an avid outdoorsman, I have enjoyed
all this area offers and now that I'm retired, especially
fishing and golf.
For our January meeting our speaker will be John
Lawrence, owner of Autumn Funeral Home in Carson City.
I look forward to the year ahead as Little Sir and will have some very
interesting speakers to talk to us at our luncheons. If you have any suggestions
for speakers, please contact me at (530) 307-0786 and I will do my best to get
them signed up!

Golf Etiquette 101
Play with the The Spirit of the Game. Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part,
without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual
to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct
themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times,
irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf.
