SPE Newsletter

East Texas SPE Member,

Congratulations on a fantastic 2008-2009 year.  With a trailing-increasing average of 74 attendees per meeting, our chapter is growing rapidly.  Our ETSPE golf tournament went sensationally with nearly a full course of golfers.  Below, one can view Kyle’s summary of our 2009 annual ETSPE golf tournament.  

Looking forward to our next year, Richard Spear will be kicking off our monthly meetings beginning this September.  As always, Richard’s analysis and forecast of our industry is always greatly appreciated.  With volatile domestic and global economic growth, government interventions, and linked-yet geographically segregated crude and natural gas demands, Richard’s presentation will undoubtedly be exciting.

Also, East Texas SPE is now officially electronic.  Our website is www.easttexas.spe.org.  All newsletters can now be downloaded off the website.  Furthermore, advertisement options are currently being designed to allow additional marketing through our website.  Advertisement options and improvements will be available before the beginning our next meeting.

Thanks,

East Texas SPE Board



ETSPE Golf Tournament Summary

I want to thank everyone on the golf committee for their help in putting on this year’s fund raising golf tournament and making it a great success.  We had a nearly full course with 136 players and raised approximately $5,000 dollars for the SPE scholarship fund.  It was an overcast day and we received a little rain shower in the middle of play, other than that it was a great day for golf.  The greens made a 180 degree turn for the better compared to last year and the scores reflected the course quality, thanks to Darrell Chase and his staff.  Oakhurst went above and beyond to meet our needs for the day.  Flight winners included:
 
1^st Flight     Danny Jones & Raymond Ray       60
2^nd Flight    David Cherry & Mike Kulka             67
3^rd Flight     Mark Austill & Mark Embrey            70
4^th Flight     David McPherson & Bill Linn           74
5^th Flight     Marty Hupp & Wayne Miller             76
6^th Flight     Duane Brignac & Tommy Smith     79
 
More thanks are needed for Randy Stuart at the Golf Connection for donating the set of Mizuno irons, woods, and bag for the raffle.  The lucky winner this year was Gary Harrison.  Thanks to all who donated food, drinks, and prizes for the tournament.  You support and future support is what brings everyone back year after year.  It was my first year as Golf Chairman for SPE and I learned many things and met many people.  I look forward to the 2010 tournament and ask you for any suggestions.  The last thanks goes to all the SPE members that participated and we look forward to 2010.
 
Kyle Janik
Golf Chairman
