Welcome Golfers,

Welcome to kernrivergolf.com, your connection to local public golf. 2008 is here with a bang, and as I look back at 2007 it was a very productive year for us. The weather was mild and we accomplished a lot of goals. Goals to enhance the golf course and goals to make your round more enjoyable. As I look back and reminisce about last year, two players come to mind. The 1st one is Nick Vallejo. Nick is an employee here at Kern River and a member of the Kern River Men's Club. He won just about every gross prize in every Men's Club event. He is the Men's Club Champion and the Men's Club player of the year. Nick also qualified for the Mercedes Benz Championship on the island of Maui in January. We wish him the best of luck and who knows, maybe a little air time on national TV. The 2nd is Justin Pitts. Justin is an employee of North Kern Golf Course and a member of the Kern River Men's Club. Justin set 3 course records last year. 61 at Kern River, 62 at Goose Creek, and 61 at Buena Vista. He also won the 57th annual Kern County Amateur in record tying fashion. His 36 hole total of 135 ties the tournament record set in 1966 by the LEGEND Arnold Kirschenmann. Both of these young men are in their early 20's. We wish them the best of luck and the continued success with their golfing careers. It goes to show you that hard work and perseverance pays off in the long run. It also goes to show you that you get out of something what you put into it. As always, if you have an idea, constructive criticism, golf humor, or you'd like something announced from our website my direct e-mail is jfkrgc@aol.com. Remember, every shot makes somebody happy. Until next time,

Jim Foss PGA
