March 26th (Friday) "Dinner/Show"
Wickenburg Country Club welcomes - "The Sammy Davis Band" playing Motown Greats from 70's, 80's 90's!

You will not want to miss this event! This is a night of GREAT music, dancing, food and spirits! You will not find a more ENTERTAINING band in Arizona!

Sammy Davis, know as "Sammy D" on the nightclub, hotel, and casino circuit, has been performing with his group, Sammy Davis Band, throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe since 1978.

Love of his work gives him the right stuff that adds energy and the great attitude audiences have come to enjoy. A true entertainer one best described by Allan Beal, #1 Disk Jockey in Kansas City, Kansas, "He is one of the nicest guys to ever play...and is one of the best shows I've ever seen."

Sammy D., originally from Chicago Illinois, has always kept music a part of his life. While playing NCAA college football at Iowa State University, he performed in a band during the off-season. when he was drafted to play professional NFL football, only then was the music put on hold. Always believing in his dreams, he knew he would return to the music world and pursue a musical career.

Sammy has toured with his band throughout Europe, Canada, Alaska, and the lower 48 states. While touring, he was selected by Musician's Magazine as New Artist of the Year. More recently, Sammy was runner-up to Arizona's Entertainer of the Year. Sammy has also had the opportunity to appear with the Emotions, Fats Domino, Bill Cosby, the Temptations, Clint Holms, and the Coasters. For the past five years, the Sammy Davis Band has opened New Year's Eve Gala Events for Mary Wilson and the Supremes, Chubby Checker, Sha Na Na, and Paul Revere and the Raiders.

Sammy's unique ability to involve the audience with his fun loving personality and the band's wide variety of materials from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's has given the Sammy Davis Band the nickname "The Ultimate Party Band".

We will be grilling Rib Eye Steaks and 1/2 Chickens! We really hope to see everyone out at the club enjoying this special event! For reservations, please contact the restaurant at (928) 684-2011 ext. 104.

While we are on the topic of lessons.....

We understand that loyalty plays a big role in who you choose to take golf lessons with. When a new golf professional comes onto the scene, it's seems like a touchy subject when it comes to wanting to get a tune-up from the new guy.

We want our Members to know this:

Your three golf professionals have discussed this and we all agree on one thing: OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE SURE YOUR GOLF GAME GETS BETTER. Every golf professional has his or her own teaching style. We understand this. Over the years as a golf professional, I have gained students because something "clicked" between us, and I have lost students because something "clicked" with another instructor. That is just the way it is.

You now have three highly qualified golf instructors at your disposal. So when you are ready to take your game to the next level we are ready to help you!

Jamey

Congrats Lonnie!!
