FROM THE CLUB PRESIDENT A Note

Hello April. As tradition says, “April showers bring May flowers”, let this month kick off the spring season we have all been waiting for.

Loch Lloyd Country Club and the Saddle and Sirloin Club are pleased to announce they have reached an agreement to reestablish a reciprocal use plan between the two organizations for 2023. We believe the program to be one of the best in the area and an exceptional value for members of each club.

While the new arrangement does have slightly different terms, the basic provisions remain the same and are open to all Loch Lloyd Full Golf Members and certain membership levels at Saddle and Sirloin. The reciprocal agreement will be evaluated by each club and up for renewal annually. Members who desire to use the reciprocal arrangement in 2023 should reach out to their club management and will be provided with a new packet of information to review and sign.

This is a great opportunity for members to add variety to their dining experiences and we look forward to serving you in the coming year.

As you dive further into this month's newsletter, you'll soon find our full events calendar filled with happenings that will cater to everyone in your family. Stay in the know of all the exciting events we will soon have to offer by joining our Private Member Facebook Group Please follow the link below to request to join.

I would like to introduce all our new members here at the Club. I encourage you to give them a Loch Lloyd welcome. We are happy you are here!

Spring is in the air… trees are blooming, lawns are getting greener, baseball’s back and let’s not forget about the Masters. April is typically the month where golf starts to pick up here at Loch Lloyd as well. Many of you will kick the dust of your clubs and our “snowbirds” start returning bringing more action to the club as the month advances.

It’s time to sign up for this year’s Pride Club membership. The Pride Club is Loch Lloyd Country Club’s Golf Shop “merchandise club”. Your $200 investment goes straight to your credit book, and you begin the instant savings. 10% off all hard goods, 20% off apparel and a one-time 40% off apparel only purchase It pays to be a Pride Club member! Don’t forget, the golf shop matches all prices and already has the lowest golf ball pricing in the area.

As we start to slowly warm up and more people start playing golf again, please respect your fellow members and the golf course itself by pairing up on golf carts. Pairing up puts far less stress on the golf course because cart traffic is minimized and believe it or not, pairing up also helps control pace of play.

Be on the lookout for emails regarding Golf Club Fitting Days. These fitting days are a great way for you to get a personalized “fine-tuned” fitting. The Golf Professionals will be on the range along with representatives from the club manufacturers.

Finally, I hope you have all had a chance to look at the 2023 Golf Calendar. Its jam packed with all of our traditional events along with many more fun and fantastic events Let’s have a great season and I can’t wait to see all of you playing more golf.

Play ready golf and see you on the first tee,

GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT Grant Suderman

Dear Members,

Spring has arrived as we are excited to welcome warm weather and golfers back to the course! Prior to turning the corner to the busy golf season, I want to highlight some of our most recent winter course enhancement projects. Over the winter months we put emphasis on evaluating ways to improve the golf course and member experience. Below is an update of some our most recent course enhancement projects.

#18 GOLD TEE STAIRS

We recently constructed a rock stairway leading up to the gold tee surface on hole #18. Assistant Superintendent, Stephen Wilds did a great job shaping and installing this feature. These rock steps match the previously installed rock stairway leading to the black tee surface also located on hole #18.

FAIRWAY DRAINAGE

Drainage was installed last winter on holes #3 & 10 to eliminate wet fairway areas which provided great results We have again started installing drainage to problem areas on holes #1,3,9 & 17. These holes were chosen due to having extensive problematic areas and/or traffic flow limitations due to the wet conditions. We will continue to evaluate adding fairway drainage throughout the property to enhance playing conditions.

#18 Gold Tee Stairway Drainage Install Hole #1

GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT Grant Suderman

AERIFICATION

Spring greens aerification is scheduled for March 27th & 28th. The course will be closed during the greens aerification process.

We thank you for your patience when performing course enhancement projects as we remain committed to providing Loch Lloyd Country Club with the best golfing experience in Kansas City.Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns at grants@lochlloyd.com

Hola! May’s Garden Club menu will be pleasing to the pallet as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Build your own taco salad in a handmade corn shell bowl and fill it with south of the border favorites including seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, fresh greens, tomatoes, onions, salsa and more. Prefer to wrap all of the goodness in a tortilla? No problemo. And no Cinco Celebration would be complete without a handcrafted sweet treat from Chef Nics kitchen!
