Our Own Krissy Carman Wins the 35th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship!
It was truly a “Family Effort” with her husband on the bag, and her Mom taking care of her two-year-old son. But, the great golf was all Krissy, as she became one of just a handful of players to win the Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship in their first try! The U.S. Mid-Am is a USGA event and one of the most prestigious amateur tournaments in the world. It is open to all amateur golfers age 25 and over.
Krissy advanced through the stroke play portion of the tournament and then won 6 matches to become the Champion.
Quoting from the story on the USGA website, “Krissy Carman will have plenty of stories, photos, articles and videos to share with her son in future years after Thursday’s 2-and-1 triumph over Aliea Clark in the 18-hole final of the 35th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, as she became the first mother to win this title since Ellen Port in 2011.”
It is rare to win, but even more rare to be a young Mom, who only recently returned to golf after discovering that her son, Conner, enjoyed being in a jogging stroller while Mom was walking and playing 18 holes.
We are excited at this amazing accomplishment, and even more excited to know that Shadow Hills was part of her story!

A View from “Inside the Ropes” – Colin Inglis Insight from Playing In a Major PGA Tournament- Extended
Playing in a PGA Major tournament event, as a working club assistant pro, with a family to raise, and limited practice time, is tantamount to being a “local hero,” nightclub band, guitar player, and then being asked to share the stage in an arena concert with the Rolling Stones. Exciting, fun, and terrifying don’t begin to explain the range of emotions that even the best club golf pros would experience. But our own Assistant Golf Pro, Colin Inglis had that very opportunity, by earning a slot in the recent PGA Player’s Championship, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I have known Colin since his days in High School. To say that he is “super competitive” would be an understatement of epic proportions. So, he wasn’t pleased with his final scores, even though a huge range of very well-known, long-time tour pros also had similar scores below the cut line. Kim, Poulter, Westwood, Stenson, Johnson, Yang, Garcia, Scott, Cantaly, and Harrington, are just a handful of tour professionals who also didn’t make the cut to “play on the weekend.”
But, this article isn’t about the outcome, it’s about the experience. One that none of us SHCC member-golfers could ever imagine. What follows is a short list of experiences related to me in a casual conversation upon his return to “normal life.”

New Expanded Lounge and Dinner Menu
The new expanded dinner menu has been introduced!
Due to this larger menu, we will be unable to serve items off of our regular lounge menu during dinner hours. This allows us to change the “kitchen line” and keep our menu offerings fresh!
This only applies to Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 5 PM to closing time.
Paving Work Begins – South Driveway Closed
As we begin the paving project of the South Range Driveway, we will need to close this road to all access as they grade and pave the roadway. Expect this closure to last for the next few days.
The range and practice areas remain open while this project is completed.
Thanks for your cooperation!
SHCC “Monday Food and Beverage Closure”
Effective Monday June 28th, the club is temporarily closing for food and beverage service on Mondays .
Please Note- This does not affect Women’s league Monday nights.
As we attempt to ramp up after the extended Covid shutdown, we continue to have a shortage of trained staff in both the kitchen and front-of-house positions. By eliminating one day of service, we are able to provide the best service possible on days we are open, while balancing the number of hours our existing staff must work.
All other food and beverage services will remain in place, the other six days of the week. We appreciate your understanding, and the club will open up again on Mondays as soon as staffing is back up to the levels needed to provide this service.
