MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR

Jake Kennedy

Dear RC Members,

Please welcome our new Membership Director, Jake Kennedy!

Born in Tampa but raised just north of Atlanta in Johns Creek, Jake's journey with golf began at a tender age, accompanying his father on the course. His early exposure ignited a lifelong love for the sport, fueling his ambition to carve a path within the industry. With a background in golf and country clubs, Jake looks to thrive in the Membership Director position here at The River Club. Previously, he contributed his expertise at Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, Ga.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Jake recently embarked on another exciting chapter of his life, getting engaged to his partner, Savannah. Together, they envision settling down in the serene Suwanee area, eager to lay down roots and start a family. When away from the club, Jake enjoys boating and fishing, often found exploring the waters of Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River

Now, Jake is excited to leverage his experience and dedication to enrich the community at The River Club!

Please feel free to reach out to Jake

Respectfully,

Your Team @ RC

March provided us with an early glimpse into Spring We had above-average temperatures for the majority of the month which led to early green-up of our tees, fairways, and approaches Roughs began greening up as well but took a bit longer to show significant growth due to more dormant turf to grow through With this continual green up please know we will be mowing more frequently so please be on the lookout for mowers and the agronomy team members accompanying them We look forward to continuing warm temperatures and more green grass!

Throughout the month of April, we will be continuing to refine the golf course by continuing to address bunker depths throughout the golf course as well as spot-spraying some residual Winter annual weeds On April 25th, we have a bulk fertilizer application scheduled with Regal Chemical to apply our Spring fertility on all playing surfaces besides greens Please know this process will be performed with a spreader truck but overseen closely by all agronomy team managers to ensure a safe and proper application The agronomy team would also like to prepare the membership for our first aerification of the year taking place on April 17th As we did last year, we will be dryjecting greens which have helped our green ’ s firmness and playability as well as relieving the greens of Winter stress and compaction This process will be completed in one day and I expect recovery time to be around 14 days Once healed, the greens will be primed and ready for a beautiful Spring golf season

As a reminder to all our members and their guests, please fix ball marks as well as one more on each green, please remain diligent in filling your divots, as well as raking bunkers once you have played your shot This is not only for the course ’ s benefit but for the golfer that plays behind you We look forward to another exciting golf season and look forward to seeing everyone on the course this Spring!

Traditional flow class offering the body everything it needs in 50 mins including seated stretching moving to seamless transitions through well-known yoga postures increasing flexibility and breathwork. Perfect for all levels!
