Men's Golf Scholarship Luncheon By Sam Currie
Summer's here! We are
starting earlier now to try to
beat the heat. Our High School
scholarship event went well, and
you'll find an article all about it
in this month's Colony News
magazine.
The Men's Club is looking for
Colony resident golfers of all abilities to join us. Membership benefits
are weekly fun events mixed with individual events to improve
your game and handicap. We have monthly luncheons, two major
championships a year, a year-end Awards Banquet, and we sponsor
the charity Pancake Breakfasts twice a year.
If you are interested in joining our group, there are membership
forms, a schedule of games, and our game winners at our website,

The CMGC's 2024 Scholarship Luncheon was held in the
Auditorium on June 19. The Luncheon followed a round of golf with
the student awardees, coaches and members of the students' families.
Of course, the reason for this Luncheon, held each year in June, is
to present Scholarship Awards (money raised through our Pancake
Breakfasts) to selected Murrieta High School athletes, specifically in
the golf programs. These students were recommended by their high
school coaches as candidates for the awards.
Following lunch, Dennis Murphy opened the Awards proceedings
by introducing each successful awardee, listing not only their golf
proficiency but also their academic and leadership achievements
during their high school years. Monies provided through the
scholarships are sent directly into their accounts at their selected
colleges.
Congratulations to Jason Aylward and Amanda Aylward of Mesa
High School, Jesse Ham of Valley High School and Jada Golovich
(not pictured) also of Valley High School. Our best wishes to our
scholarship winners for a successful and enjoyable college career!
