10 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2026 | Summer Golf: Enjoy the Moment, Not the Debate ere is something special about summertime golf. e mornings arrive a little earlier, the fairways seem a little greener, and the friendships built over four hours on the golf course become even more meaningful. At Sun Lakes Country Club, summer reminds us why we fell in love with the game in the rst place — not because of perfect scores or awless swings, but because of the experience itself. Golf has always been a game lled with opinions. We debate club selections, course conditions, pace of play, and even how someone else chooses to enjoy their round. Yet one of the greatest lessons golf teaches us is that everyone plays the game dierently. Some members chase personal bests and tournament victories. Others simply enjoy a morning walk with friends and a few good laughs along the way. is summer, perhaps the best approach is to spend less time worrying about how others play the game and more time appreciating the opportunity to play it ourselves. We are fortunate to have a beautiful facility right here at Sun Lakes Country Club. Every day we have the chance to tee it up on well-maintained courses surrounded by stunning views and great company. ese moments are not guaranteed, and they become even more valuable when we take the time to appreciate them. As we enjoy the season, we also have some exciting news regarding our golf courses. e recent course re-rating process has been completed, and the ratings remain unchanged. In addition, we have added a new Championship Course Red/Gold Combo tee option for both men and women. is provides another opportunity for players to nd a set of tees that best matches their game and enhances their enjoyment of the course. Aer all, the purpose of course ratings and multiple tee options is simple: to help every golfer have the best possible experience. Golf should challenge us, but it should also be fun. So as the temperatures rise and another beautiful summer unfolds, take a moment to enjoy where you are. Appreciate the friendships, the sunshine, the occasional great shot, and even the not-so-great ones. Celebrate the fact that you are out on the course doing something you love. e scorecard will eventually be forgotten. e small disagreements won't matter. But the memories made with friends on a beautiful summer day at Sun Lakes Country Club will last much longer. See you on the rst tee. ~ David A. Goldstein II PGA, Director of Golf From the Pro Shop At the May meeting of the District Delegate Assembly, Randy Robbins was introduced as the Parliamentarian for the DDA. Some time was spent on sharing with the new members the why and how of the recall, to help them understand the Resolution between the HOA Board and the Delegates. Some of the questions related to the Resolution were clarified by President Burkle. Some Delegates made comments in their district reports. The first meetings was more open for the Delegates, but future meeting will adhere to timed reports. We are learning to work together and identify as Delegates. As Henry Ford said, "Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress: working together is success." We are coming together and will be trying to keep together. Delegate Assembly Report
