He said the key is knowing the patrons and catering to them. “We’re in the process of redoing the driving range and the grass area,” he said. “But we’ve also gotten into a program of getting more golf balls recently and I’m sure it helps to be able to hit fresh golf balls and not old scuffed up ones.” The course has also worked on drainage and bought some new equipment to be able to do more things to and for the course. It’s just the beginning, though. They are still in the process of making other changes and improvements. “We’re spending more on fertilizer and things we can control,” said Flores, who has been the director for six years. “As far as the pro shop we just cater to what sells for us and we don’t out price ourselves. We know our friends and patrons.” Among them are the Winter Texans, who are back in full force. “It has been a great season so far and the Canadians are back,” Flores said. “We missed all the ones who didn’t return last year. But they’re back and we’re looking at another nice season. “We’re thankful to have won those awards. It’s nice that our patrons recognize what we do.” Shary Municipal Golf Course
