Weekly Update

Administration

·         Impending Weather – The weather is turning quite cold and snowy over the next few days. Given the forecast, the golf course will be closed Friday through Sunday and we will evaluate any further days. The clubhouse will be open during the day but will shut down early these days and the pro shop will be open daily 10-4pm these days.

·         Divots in Greens – We have noticed 3 separate instances of someone taking a divot on a green. Please know if you are caught taking a divot on the green your golf privileges will be suspended indefinitely. If you play in a group with a person who takes a divot on the green and you do not report the incident you are also liable and will face a suspension as well. Please show proper etiquette towards the course

o   Ball Marks – With the etiquette theme, please repair your ball marks, they are hard to find at this time of the year but if you look at all you will see them to fix.

o   Fairway Divots – Please sand fill all fairway divots and get in the habit of taking a sand bottle on Hole #1 to fill those divots as well. Thanks for your cooperation

Pro Shop

·         Driving Range – We will tentatively open the grass range next Wednesday April 29th. Starting April 30th we will begin using new range balls. The chipping green will tentatively open later next week.

o   Mat Days - We will continue having mat days on Monday and Thursday for this year.  We feel giving the grass range a few days off each week enhances the turf throughout the season.

·         Leagues

o   Men’s League – Men’s League registration link is attached. To play league this year you must signup and pay in advance with the link provided. Cost is $60 if you pre-pay with the link. If you wait until the first night to pay in person, the cost is $80. For 2026 we will run the same formats however we have a different software provider, Smartgolf. This change will see some growing pains but should provide a similar experience and some added flexibility. Watch for more information. League tentative start is April 29, however, we are evaluating that start date.

·         Glove Sale – 3 for 1 glove sale on all Cobra and TaylorMade golf gloves while supplies last

Clubhouse

·         Mother’s Day Brunch May 10th – Sign up with Tara in the office. Check poster for more info.

·         Beverage Cart – We will have the beverage cart up and running starting next weekend, May 2nd.  In the spring the beverage cart is very weather dependent, we will post signs when cart is not out.

·         Weather Hours – Sometimes when the weather turns ugly, snow, torrential rain and the course closes the clubhouse may shut down early. On these days please phone in advance to be sure we are open. When the course is open the clubhouse will also be open.

Grounds

·         Sand Traps – As more staff start working, we will start hand raking all green side sand traps. We will feel this will help in the consistency of keeping the sand softer. We will continue to use the trap rake for fairway bunkers. As well, we will continue to fix up various green side sand traps, including fixing the drainage and adding new sand.
