GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

Tony Madera

PGA General Manager

The parking lot is nearing completion as is the drainage work on the golf course! It is so nice to see these improvements being completed which will greatly enhance the presentation of the club and add to the Member experience We will also be looking to do some concrete work around the pool and the curbing walking into the fitness center We are hopeful this can be accomplished some time in the next month or two

The cooler weather has been a welcoming change (at least for me) as we see lows in the 40’s with phenomenal fall temperatures during the day It is truly my favorite season as we look forward to the fall foliage of the leaves along with faster and firmer greens

As you have recently seen, my weekly message will be sent out every Monday along with the hours of operations, specials of the week, and anything which I feel you would need to know about, so you are not caught off guard We are committed to trying to improve the Member experience on every visit while we continue to invest capital dollars to improve the club

Thank you for your continued support of CCN as we look forward to our bright future!

The last day of summer is behind us and now looking forward to that excellent fall golf weather. We had a pretty hot September with some great events that took place. The LGA had 2 mixers and their Annual Solheim Cup tournament. Team USA came back from a 1 point Day One deficit and defeated Team Europe by 3 points. Format was 9 Hole Fourball and 9 Hole Modified Alternate Shot each day.

Team USA players: Tee Pazitney, Daryl Nels, Tracey Hollenbaugh, Deb Frederick, Carol Degenhart, Tammy Ross, Betsy Burns & Carol Smith. Team Europe players: Angie Degenhart, Molly Horstman, Pam Pendry, Gale Smith, Becky Knipper, Julie Wentworth, Helen Zheng, Nancy Schindler & Joan Pratt.

Couples Golf has been a big hit and the Oktoberfest Theme went very well. Don’t miss out on our October Halloween themed 9 & Dine with prizes for best costumes and cart décor!!!

MGA will playing their annual Ryder Cup event in October and the Men’s Thursday Night League will be finishing up.

COURSE MAINTENANCE

Kevin Butts

Director of Course & Grounds

Our staff has been hard at work the last month with many different projects and agronomic practices We successfully conducted fall aerification at the beginning of September with a core tine process to remove organic materials from the greens We then top dressed and brushed in new sand, fallowed with the dryject process, followed with more sand We finished this process with spreading 60 tons of sand in and on our greens This process has many benefits and has been a great agronomic practice for our greens this fall

GOLF

As you all have noticed we have also been working with contractors on completing some much needed drainage improvements and repairs. We will continue the next couple of weeks with drainage repairs and installs on 12 and 18. We have installed new drainage on 9 and 11 to help us in those tough spring thaw months coming out of winter. These improvements should help with diverting additional rainwater into drains instead of areas that are already thawing and saturated from the winter freeze.

Moving forward into fall, we have more projects to get completed before mother nature shuts us down for winter. We plan to continue fall agronomic practices on tees, approaches, and fairways; with aerification processes and verti cutting to help reduce thatch which in the long run will help us with moisture control, along with many other benefits on all playing surfaces. We are currently working on getting all of our pond banks, creeks and water falls cleaned up.

We will continue to improve all aspects of this amazing property and hope to get a lot accomplished this fall season. Everyone here at maintenance is excited for the fall weather and hope to see you all out playing golf and enjoying it with us before the dreadful winter weather!
