Friends of Friend Ranch, the proposed 18-hole golf/residential development, were invited Saturday to enjoy a gourmet picnic.  T-bones, grilled shrimp, chicken, artichoke hearts, dolmades and quarter-sized cherries.  Golf carts and jeeps zipped guests around the 500 acre spread which will house about the same number of residential units.  Also in the works are a spa, swimming pool, tennis courts, fishing lodge, resort hotel, clubhouse and restaurant.  Five parcels dedicated to multi-family housing, i.e. townhomes, have ALL been reserved.  This former ranch was spruced up so that players could compete on closest to the pin and more.  My husband, D., who sports a handicap of about 6, won longest drive and a hefty prize of rafting and lodging.  If you want the latest info about this Poncha Springs development or wish to hold a lot in the next round of reservations, contact me. - Leslie
