Welcome to the dog days of summer! August has arrived and it’s always a fun month around the club. We have had a great summer thus far and are expecting to have a great rest of the summer and fall. As we get excited for the start of college and pro football (Let’s go Vikings!). It’s also time to gear up for fall golf events.

August is also the month when many of our high school and college students head back to school. Be sure to thank them for all their hard work before they leave.

Brent Mertz was crowned the 2023 Men’s Club Champion this year. Brent was able to take down former Club Champion, Ben Kimminau in the final match. This was the first year that Match Play would decide our Men’s Club Champion and there were some great matches throughout the event. Thank you to all that participated.

Congratulations to Jeremy Dear, our Head Professional! Jeremy finished T-2 in the Midwest PGA Professional Championship. The Professional Championship at the Section Level is the biggest tournament of the year. The top four scores in this event qualify for the PGA Professional Championship which will be held next April, at Fields Ranch at PGA Frisco. The top 20 finishers in the PGA Professional Championship will qualify for the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.

See you on the first tee,
