November Newsletter

From the President

With fall in full swing and winter knocking on the door there is still lots of opportunity to play golf and enjoy our beautiful surroundings. With the coming of winter I would like to ask everyone to be more aware with your cart. Try to stay on the paths as much as possible. The Board of Directors is not making it mandatory (at this time) to remain on cart paths at all times, just making a suggestion. The less we drive on the fairway, the better our course will be next spring. I know I am guilty of still using the 90-degree rule at times, so I myself need to be a little more attentive when playing.

Just to keep you up to date, our Grant Committee is still meeting, and working on club projects. The grant writers are still very positive about the possibilities we have in getting some of these grants. They feel we are very close in getting the Emergency 911 phone for the swimming pool and have a couple of prospects in landing some help in paying off our Small Business Loan and even paying off our equipment lease. Hopefully we will know something before the end of the year.

The only other new business is, we are working on a nominating committee to help in locating new potential board members for the upcoming stockholders annual meeting. If you are interested in serving on the board get with Casey, Courtney or let one of our current board members know.

From the Golf Shop

Tournament season is over. Hope everyone had a great golf season. Now that the grass is turning brown, remember that there are several things that you can do to help the course through the winter. Remember to sand all divots, repair your pitch marks on the greens, and to stay on the cart path for as long as you can. Cart compaction can have a direct effect of the quality of turf that we have in the spring. Remember to do these things to help Mikel keep our course looking great.

The Senior Partnership was held on October 24^th & 25^th . The weather was good one day and then just awful on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather. Here is a list of members who placed in the tournament.
