WHAT A PROJECT!! One of our most exciting projects of this year will be to update the “History of Laguna Woods Golf”. This was a book originally written by Bud Kolstoe and published to our members in 2000. Bud did a marvelous job, and I am interested in updating this history and providing copies to our members this year. We can put together a team to do the update. This may not be an overwhelming task! Won Chang came up with a brilliant idea for publication of the document. When completed, it can be scanned and sent to members in a PDF file. That avoids all costs of printing, which was a major stumbling block to the project. The most difficult aspect of this project may be that the original document is not on a computer. Won Chang is looking at his software to see how we can get the original onto a computer, so that it can be easily updated. The Board may be asked to purchase some software to complete this project. The original document can be maintained in our on-line (Carbonite) file and updated periodically in future years. But, “hold the phone”! There is more! I already have on my computer a large number of the stories about our members which have been written for Hooks ‘N Slices. I want to compile these and publish an additional document containing these stories about our people. We have had some really interesting guys among us, and some great stories written about them. In 2002, I did a series about our Club Champions – a short Biography of each which went back several years before 2002. Since that time, we have done stories about our more recent Champions. This is a great series to read, but some of the others are just as interesting! Bud Kolstoe has been our Club Historian for many years. He has many of the Hooks ‘N Slices articles in the archives of the Historical Society. We need a few volunteers to read these articles, and make copies of the biographical types of stories that we would want to include in our collection of Club Biographies. I already have the articles that I wrote – many of them in 2002 and 2003. Others were written by Dave Bicker, Don Goldberg, Paul Appelbaum, Tom Jorde, and perhaps others. Please contact me if you would be willing to help with this project. verne2@fea.net
