Chris Cookson, representing Pinedale’s Rendezvous Meadows Golf Club, won the Wyoming State Senior Amateur Championship by three strokes Sept. 11-15th in Cody, Wyoming. Chris began playing golf as a child and in college was captain of the golf team for the University of Southern Mississippi on a full-ride scholarship. He thereafter played professionally on the PGA European and Asian Tours for five years. He is very grateful that he has won at every level beginning in juniors, high school, college, professionally and now at the senior level. Chris is also a Golf Rules Official for tournaments televised by NBC. Chris and his wife, Mari, built their home in Pinedale 12 years ago and spend their summers there. Chris can be seen most days at Rendezvous Meadows playing golf. He is a runner in his free time.
Sublette County Public Health COVID Update The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) reports that there have been 55 new COVID-19 cases in Sublette County in the past week. There are currently 41 active cases in Sublette County, with 980 recoveries and 11 deaths, for a total of 1,032 cases since the pandemic began. Individuals are quarantining/isolating in the communities of Big Piney, Boulder, and Pinedale. Sublette County Public Health Nurse Janna Lee gave this week’s video update, providing current numbers, along with testing options. Please go to our Sublette County Public Health Facebook page to view the latest video update here. State and regional medical systems remain over taxed, finding an available hospital bed for any individual needing hospital level care is extremely difficult. Some regional hospitals are starting to ration care to only the most critical patients. However, this does not mean that you should delay seeking medical help if you are feeling unwell. Sublette County remains in the Red or High Transmission Zone for community spread this week, along with most of the state, Campbell and Hot Springs Counties remain in the Dark Red/VERY High Transmission Zone.

Regarding Short Term Rentals The Town of Pinedale will begin enforcing Ordinance 682 regarding Short Term Rentals (STRs) within Town limits beginning Friday, October 1, 2021. This Ordinance was passed in the spring of 2021 and sets new regulations on STRs for the various zoning districts within the Town limits. The Town will begin enforcing the Ordinance, identifying properties that will be able to offer STRs, and to what extent, and implementing the inspection and permitting process. All existing STRs are being operated outside of current Town code, and do not have legal authority to do so. As the new measures are rolled out, the Town staff will be working with an external contract agency to enforce the code. Please become familiar with the zoning districts in which STRs are available to operate in, and to what capacity. Any existing or future STRs that do not meet the criteria stipulated in Ordinance 682 will need to cease operations on the last day of September 2021. Additional information regarding the inspection and permitting process will be available in the near future. For more information, contact the Pinedale Town Hall, 307-367-4136, www.townofpinedale.us.
