WELCOME GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE Dear Members, Welcome to July and I hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start! The course has really shaped up nicely and our three-day closure in June allowed us to get some great work accomplished around the course. Now we just need some timely rain this month. The search for our new F&B Manager is complete and we are happy to announce that Marsha Greer will be starting on July 8th. The Team at Black Hawk wishes everyone a safe and happy 4th of July and month of July. I hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter and updates on your club below. If there’s anything I can be of assistance with please let me know. I look forward to seeing you around the club! Mike Shoelen

NEW MEMBERS MEMBERSHIP UPDATE Karie Rogers Hello Black Hawk Members! Summer is here and what a great time to come up and enjoy your club!! A Private Club Membership, like Black Hawk, is about friends inviting friends. With many of you enjoying the course, pools and other club activities during the summer months, don’t forget to invite a friend to come along with you! Of course we have guest fees associated with them coming along with you to play the course, swim or workout but the summer is also a great time to introduce those friends to the Black Hawk lifestyle. As your Membership Director, I can assist as you showcase your club to your extended family, coworkers and friends. Remember, we offer a variety of membership options including the non-golf CLUB level, which is nice for those looking to spend time at the pool! Let me know how I can help with your special guests.

GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE Jim Wallace I hope this message finds you well and all of you are enjoying the first couple weeks of summer. It has been hot, dry, and windy and somewhat of a challenge to keep our moisture levels up to push this grass forward, but I am very pleased with the progress and improvements in the golf course thus far. I am also hopeful that the playing conditions are to your liking For those of you that are as fascinated as I am with the family of eagles that have made their home on the fence line between the two courses, we do have some sad news. One of the two eaglets fell from the tree earlier this week. Although he was not injured, we did find out while he was grounded that he is ill.
We had our friends from Wildernexx come rescue him and take him to a treatment facility. The specialists have since told us that he has a parasite and flat flies (Hippoboscidae) and has a very long row to hoe to make it back to his family. They did not even think he would make it through the first night. So far, he is fighting and trying to build his strength. I'd love nothing more than to see him make a full recovery. Whether he can return to his family here or must stay in captivity, know that he is being well cared for. His sibling and parents look to be very healthy, and we do hope that they call Shadow Hawk Golf Club their home for many years to come. I will certainly keep you updated on his progress or any new developments. Please keep all of them in your thoughts and prayers. I hope to see you out on the golf course. Sincerely, Jim

GOLF PRO SHOP GOLF RULES & TIPS Trent Peddy I want to thank everyone who volunteered for the MGA Tournament Committee.

This will be a flighted tournament and 30% of the field will be paid out in prizes. BBQ lunch will be provided before and light apps and drinks during scoring.
The Open Challenge on July 15th will be a two person shamble. Each player tees off, you select the best drive then each player plays their own ball through the hole. The team will then record their best score on the hole. This will be a flighted event and kilts are encouraged. Festive Scottish food and drinks to go along with the theme! We are hosting our second round of the Couples Twilight Series that you don’t want to miss! It will be a nine hole two person scramble. Every hole will be equipped with a contest.

TENNIS & CAMP SUMMER ACTIVITIES Brian Cosma
Junior Tennis Camp is off to a great start! It has been a hot start, but the juniors are tough and resilient! The camp times are 9:00am-11:30am. We have three weeks of junior tennis camps in July, and one week in August. We hope to see your child participating in at least one camp this summer! Below are the rest of the weeks I will be hosting camp this summer: July 11-14 July 18-21 July 25-28 August 1-4 The camp sizes are smaller to make sure your child can learn and enjoy the game. We will work on developing the foundations of the game, and learn to play a game that they can play for years. Friends are always welcome to come with them.
Here are some of the featured activities that will be brought to Black Hawk this July! July 6th - Nerf Battle (Inside) July 13th - Animal Show (Inside) July 20th - Cooking Class (Inside) July 27th - Laser Tag (Inside) These activities are available for children between the ages of 7-14. Each activity is from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Your child can absolutely bring their friends with them too! If you have any questions, or would like more details about the camp, please call the Wellness desk at 281-340-7200 or email Brian Cosma at bcosma@bhawkcc.com.
