Dear Members, There’s nothing better than looking out onto the 18th green to see golfers enjoying the course and the color green everywhere. We are gearing up for another fabulous season at The National. This is the month our entire staff has been planning for and working toward all winter long. Our first member golf event of the year, The Doubler, takes place May 17th through 19th and promises to be a competitive challenge as we square off in this member vs. member showdown to determine the Grand Champions. Members Duke Daughtery and Gregg Givens are defending their 2018 win. Who will take home bragging rights this year? The entire staff is excited to welcome our busy season because we get to see more and more members using the Club; enjoying Tennis, Basketball and Pickleball Courts; and basking at the Pool. We will be changing our check-in procedures at the Pool this year and will be announcing the changes soon. Looking forward to see you around the Club!

GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE Spencer Roberts Director of Golf Course Maintenance
Dear Members, The course has started to respond well with the beautiful spring weather we are experiencing. Along with the grass starting to green up, the spring flowers and select trees have produced gorgeous color throughout the property. The team has completed multiple sod projects this spring, fixing any imperfections that we have observed around the course. We plan to complete all the sod work by mid-May with minimal disruption to play. The fairways and tees continue to get greener every day. With the expected warmer weather, the Zoysia grass should be actively growing by the end of May. We appreciate your efforts utilizing the new cart entry and exit system which we implemented this season. Following the prescribed guidelines, our goal is to keep cart traffic in the fairways to ensure the rough stays as healthy as possible while we minimize the number of ropes and stakes used throughout the property. A diagram of this system may be found on the next page.
Greening up on #18
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. The team appreciates your support! Sincerely, Spencer Roberts Director of Golf Course Maintenance spencer@fivestarlifestyles.com
