2010 COMMITTEE REPOR TS
GOLF COMMITTEE M
AC golf wrapped up another
successful year as we were able to deliver program offerings geared toward all skill and interest levels. One of the staples of
MAC golf remains the spring and fall weekend outings. The schedule for these outings rotates around a deep list of the best public and private courses in the area. These low-key Sundays provide members a consistent opportunity to work on their game and mingle with the MAC golf community.

The 2010 MAC golf schedule also included the Scramble at Quail Valley Golf Club and the Club Championships at The Reserve Vineyards, and was rounded out by our annual trip to Bandon Dunes in the fall. MAC juniors were also included in a series of instructional camps held at The Reserve Vineyards.
As promised, the Golf Committee was
able to deliver a new partnership with the Broken Top Club in Bend that compli- mented nicely our standing alliance with The Reserve Vineyards. Be sure to check the MAC website for updates on current offer- ings and discounts exclusive to MAC golfers. A unique challenge for MAC golf
remains the lack of a true facility that MAC

The MAC gymnastics competitive team sustained its tradition of excellence in 2010 with 70 individual state titles, 18 individual regional titles, 18 individual national quali- fiers, and one national champion. Four of the teams took the first-place award at the state finals. Two graduates, Hannah Casey (OSU) and Katie Renecker (Cal State Fullerton), compete for their respective college teams in 2011. MAC’s recreational program, run by Coach Rob Petit, continues to attract a talented pool of gymnasts that feed the success of the competitive program, aver- aging 300 participants per term.
HANDBALL COMMITTEE M
AC handball had a successful
year. In addition to our strong competitive players, the majority compete in intramu- rals and social events, including the Fall Turkey Tournament, the Holiday Classic (which includes players from other clubs), and the Olympic Club
MAC gymnastics events throughout the year were similarly successful. The MAC Open played host to 880 participants, with our boys and girls teams once again winning the coveted MAC Open cup. Eleven MAC gymnastics traveled
to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the Mitsubishi Yowa Invitational Meet in September and spread MAC goodwill to another hemisphere. MAC also played host to the Region 2 Congress, with four MAC coaches giving presentations. But all was not strictly business. The boys team raised the roof of the Rose Garden with its rambunctious Blazers half-time show, culminating in its shortest
