Dear Members, It’s hard to believe that August is already here. Time seems to fly by so quickly, especially during the summer month. We have been delighted to see full tee sheets with so many members enjoying our beautiful golf course. The Club’s Independence Day festivities were wellreceived and well-attended. Many of you enjoyed dinner at the Club or take-out service to celebrate on your own deck or patio. The annual fireworks display was awesome, as usual! We would like to thank all the members who joined in the festivities and extend our appreciation for following the rules established to ensure a safe and happy celebration for all. Photos from the event may be found on page 11 of this issue. Stay cool and enjoy the remainder of summer! We hope to see you at the Club soon!

Dear Members, Welcome to the dog days of summer! The summer heat is in full swing and it looks as if there is no relief in sight! We’d like to remind our golfers to stay well hydrated as you play or practice. Congratulations to our new Men’s Club Champion, Ben Kimminau (pictured below). Ben was able to overcome a two-shot deficit on Sunday, July 19th, to capture the win over last year’s champ, Mike Hillyard. Ben shot an impressive 72 on Sunday and won by two shots. Thank you to all who participated in the event. Our Club Championship Weekend is coming up this month on August 22nd and 23rd. See the next page for complete details and be sure to sign up!

What an amazing, supportive membership we have at The Country Club at Loch Lloyd! The generous nature of our members was never more evident than during our July 3rd Folds of Honor Patriot Golf Day. Our Club raised a RECORD HIGH of just over $30,000 (and counting) for this scholarship fund which provides assistance to military families of those killed or disabled while on active duty. We have many people to thank for helping to make this annual fundraising event such a success, starting with the volunteers who assisted throughout the day. We'd like to thank Josh and Michelle Kurzban for donating $250 worth of BurgerFi gift certificates for on-course prize winners and Larry and Kathy Dillon who spearheaded this event. Their efforts truly made the day a huge success. Hearty congratulations to the following winners: Paula Henry..... Raffle Callaway Folds of Honor Golf Bag Jack Gifford ...... Cash prize on Hole #2 "Closest-to-the-Pin" Billy Ryan.......... Cash prize for Putting Contest Congratulations to these on-course prize winners: Adam Doerr, Nate Irvin, Pat Hersma, Patty Merlie Darien Lame, Lori McConnell, Sean McGrevey Cathy Scholin, Tim Calvert, Greg Carlson
It's not too late to donate to Folds of Honor!

Dear Member, Welcome to August! With over 2000 additional rounds of golf thus far in 2020 vs. last year and over 3000 rounds with carts, it’s been busy out on the course! It’s certainly been an interesting year so far for the Golf Course Maintenance team with the ongoing challenges we continue to face. My top priority is keeping the team safe as our practices on and off the golf course have a direct correlation with the safety of members and guests. We are working diligently to maintain the highest standards of safety during these difficult times. Flagsticks, bunker rakes and all other touchpoints which our team manages continue to be cleaned daily. JEFF STEEN, CGCS DIRECTOR OF GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE jeffs@lochlloyd.com
This month, I’d like to send out another invitation to please call, email or text me with any questions or concerns you may have about daily happenings on and off the golf course. Please feel free to set up a time to visit the maintenance facility for a behind-the-scenes tour, take a moment for some Q&A, or just chat and catch up. I’ve wanted to host a town hall meeting for all; however, since this is not possible at this time, please reach out and I’ll make myself available to meet one-on-one or in small groups. I encourage open dialogue. I would also make myself available to play a little golf if you’d like me to join your group.
I wanted to share a few photos taken on Monday, July 20th after we received 3/4" of rain. What’s interesting about these two areas of standing water on hole #6 fairway is that the photos were shot more than four hours after the rain stopped. The two photos capture a very dramatic, graphic and even poignant (at least for the maintenance team) vantage of how the water sits in these struggling areas of turf recovery. Without adequate drainage, and in some cases no drainage at all, it’s very clear as to why some isolated areas on the fairways continue to struggle. On this day in particular, the standing water disabled the team from mowing or performing other cultural practices. It’s a good example as to why we are not always able to accomplish what we intend to do on a Monday when we are closed. It also helps to clarify why we must keep carts on paths and restrict traffic. The GCM team is excited about the vision we share and the common goal of continuous improvement! In the time many of us have been part of the team (less than two years), we are thankful for a few changes implemented and even more inspired about the future. We work every day to make The Country Club at Loch Lloyd a superior golf course for you to play. I believe that in two years, one can make changes; in five years, one can make a difference; and in 10 years, one can make it their own.
Hole #6 July 20th
As a reminder, greens aeration is currently scheduled for August 24th and 25th. Thank you for your continued support. We hope that everyone enjoys playing the game. Sincerely, Jeff Steen, CGCS Director of Golf Course Maintenance The Country Club at Loch Lloyd Hole #6 July 20th

Dear Member, As we enter into the final (hottest) month of summer, I want to remind you to STAY HYDRATED, particularly while you are exercising. This means getting the right amount of water BEFORE, DURING and AFTER you exercise. Why? 1. Water regulates your body temperature. 2. Water lubricates your joints. 3. Water helps transport nutrients to give you energy and keep you healthy. 4. If you are not hydrated, your body will not perform at its peak level!

LEOPOLD BROS. STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 90 Proof 750ml bottle $49+ Open fermentation in wooden tanks Pot distilled and unfiltered Aged four years in new, American, white oak charred barrels In October of 1999, Todd and Scott opened a microbrewery called Leopold Bros. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The brewery and adjoining taproom became popular for its array of beers, live music, board games and inviting atmosphere. Above all else, the brewery was well-known for its eco-brewing techniques, organic ingredients and effective management of water and waste byproducts — the first of its kind in the region. The brothers acquired a distilling license in addition to a brewing license and began making spirits in 2001. In the mid-2000s, Todd and Scott relocated operations to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling. The site became home to Colorado's first distillery malting floor and kiln, as well as a dunnage-style barrelhouse, tasting room and education center. Leopold Bros. pride themselves on using only the best grains, fruits, botanicals, herbs and spices. They never use flavoring agents, artificial flavors or colors, glycol, glycerin or high fructose corn syrup. They are committed to using only the highest quality ingredients from family farms and orchards. To order your bottle of Leopold Bros. Straight Bourbon Whiskey, please call the Clubhouse at 816.322.1022 by August 15th.
