INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Dear Members, As discussed in the letter sent to you on April 30th, The Country Club at Loch Lloyd has started phasing operations back into form as of May 5, 2020. With authorities lifting the shelter-in-place order that we all have patiently observed, it is now time for us to put into effect all of our newly formed habits that we have been practicing. Please see the plan for each area of Club operations on the next two pages of this issue.

The Club would like to extend its sincere gratitude to those members that supported the team, our amenities and services during the past month. We understand that circumstances have been less than convenient for golf, food and fitness ‌ but to see our membership engage with such a supportive spirit has truly defined what makes this Club and community so special and so unique. While the future remains uncertain, this lack of forward visibility will keep us as Club operators distinctly and keenly focused on the health and safety of members and associates as our top priority. Thank you for your trust and belief in your Club ownership and executive team to make the right decision for your membership. As we navigate our way through the first phase of reopening, we will continue to keep you apprised of developments or changes to our operating mode. We look forward to seeing you, socially distanced, at the Club over the next several weeks. Be safe. Be smart. And be healthy.
Chris Brems, President chrisb@lochlloyd.com
Valued Member, We are pleased to announce that The Country Club at Loch Lloyd has begun phasing Club operations back into form effective Tuesday, May 5, 2020. With local and state government authorities lifting the shelter-in-place order that we all have patiently observed over the last month plus, the time has come for us to put into effect all of our newly formed habits that we have been practicing. Considering our alternatives, the past month has been a supreme success for the community and Club with all of our members, associates and residents maintaining positive health and significant activity with the Club. The positive narratives include maintaining our full-time associates, exceeding expectations with golf course conditioning and expanding the use of our talented food and beverage team to meet all of the community needs during such an uncertain time in life. The Club would like to extend its sincere gratitude to those members that continued to support the team, our amenities and our services during the past month. Nearly all categories of memberships utilized the Club; whether for golf or for their food and beverage needs. Just a small 18% of the full golf membership rested dormant during this shelter-in-place. We understand that the circumstances have been less than convenient for golf, for food and for fitness, but to see our membership engage with such a supportive spirit has truly defined what makes this Club and community so special and so unique. The future remains uncertain for our region, and this lack of forward visibility will keep us as Club operators distinctly and keenly focused on our constituencies’ health and safety as the first and top priority. Our commitment and objective remains to inculcate our staff with a new standard for safety in an evolving situation. Social distancing and limiting touch-points will remain the narrative. Our operation and daily lives will continue to be challenged with decisions that weigh risk benefit. Of course, in this pandemic the risk of infection is actually unknown without testing, but the consequences are potentially lethal ... even in younger people. The benefits are actually trivial. So most resistance or debates/arguments become inane. Perhaps with time and with widespread testing, we will be better equipped to field questions from members regarding the potentials associated with contracting this disease from our location or amenities. What we do know is that our forthcoming operating mode will be slightly different than before the pandemic as we seek to bring our venues and business units back on slowly and cautiously. We will let our success to date be the guiding and confident compass to lead our daily decisions as to how and when we phase elements of each business back to full strength. Please pay specific attention to the information on the next page. It is what you need to know about the operational changes at the Club as of Tuesday, May 5, 2020. The executive team and the ownership group feel assured that our compliance and adhered-to recommendations made by local government and the CDC will continue to offer you and the membership at-large total confidence in our environments with the knowledge that they are being managed with health and safety as our top priority. We are committed to this for the potential long-term impact that this pandemic could have on our region. We want you to know that we don't enjoy these inconveniences any more than another and truly desire for our community to unite by supporting one another, respecting one another’s priorities and trusting and believing in your Club ownership and executive team to make the right decision for your membership. As we manage and navigate our way through the first phase of reopening, we will continue to keep you apprised of developments and government notifications or changes and adjustments to our operating mode. We look forward to seeing you SOCIALLY DISTANCED at the Club over the next several weeks. Be safe. Be smart. And be healthy. Chris Brems President The Country Club at Loch Lloyd chrisb@lochlloyd.com

Dear Members, Strange days and difficult times. The calendar year of 2020 will certainly be one written into the history books. Who would have thought that a pandemic would disrupt the world in the 21st century! While just about everything in the world is shut down, golf courses in many areas have been booming with extraordinary amounts of play. Loch Lloyd is certainly experiencing heavy traffic on our golf course as well. I’m glad you are all outside, enjoying the game that we all love so much!

Dear Member,
The new rhythm of life within the Golf Course Maintenance team at The Country Club at Loch Lloyd! This is a common expression within our daily
huddles and team meetings. Our associates have adapted to a new “normal” of different start times, social distancing, working as individuals and creating a safe work environment while we all come together during these unprecedented times. Please see the picture below of the entire GCM team as we recently gathered at 12-foot intervals to safely send out a hello to the membership! Here’s an overview of recent and ongoing GCM team projects: JEFF STEEN, CGCS DIRECTOR OF GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE jeffs@lochlloyd.com
Successful spring aeration to all tees, greens and approaches Topdressing of selected areas on the fairways Tree plantings on hole #5 Landscape enhancements Ongoing irrigation repairs and improvements Sod work throughout the property, with a focus on old tree stump areas Growing in areas out of play to create a more natural look Mowing walking paths from tee to green on certain holes New agronomic practices to enhance playability
Next month, the second edition of Quarterly INSIGHT will be coming out with the latest behind-the-scenes look within the GCM team, course happenings and ongoing projects. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read the spring issue, please call the Clubhouse at 816.322.1022 and we’ll be happy to email you a copy. It’s hard to believe how quickly we got to the month of May. The course is greening up nicely, fairways filling in, leaves abundant, flowers in bloom and steady rounds of golf are keeping us busy. Please take a moment in passing to say hello to the associates. The team takes a great deal of pride in producing the best possible product on a daily basis so that you have the most enjoyable round of golf. One additional note to touch upon is Monday golf. Although the course is closed on Mondays, I am working with Sean Hanna to possibly open the tee sheet for limited golf on Mondays in the late afternoon. Until that time, we ask that you please refrain from playing golf on Mondays due to the following issues: The course needs a break from 300+ rounds over a busy weekend Maintenance completes agronomic practices on Mondays, such as chemical and fertility applications,
which may not be safe for golfers
Projects are being worked on and associates do not expect to watch for play (SAFETY) COVID-19 split shifts and extended hours so the team can catch up on deferred maintenance projects
The safety of my associates and their families as well as members and their families continues to be my top priority. Please stay safe and keep practicing social distancing. On behalf of the entire Golf Course Maintenance team, we look forward to seeing you soon and saying hello in person rather than via a drone photo! Sincerely, Jeff Steen, CGCS Director of Golf Course Maintenance

Various calendar adjustments are taking place. Please be sure to read all Club notices and LLLGA emails for the most current updates. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Opening Day.

LLLGA 2020 Registration
Registration for the LLLGA 2020 season has been extended. Please complete and return the registration form on the next page or contact Ruth at ruthannnewby@gmail.com for an emailed version of the form.
World Handicap System (WHS)
As most of you are aware, the World Handicap System has replaced the previous handicap application. The new application is user-friendly and will prove to make handicaps more accurate and timely.
Melinda Baty Care and Concern
The recommendation by the WHS is that you input your scores hole by hole the day that you played. Hole-by-hole input is recommended as it will adjust your hole-by-hole maximum score to a net double bogey without you needing to do the math.
Laurie Lind Elizabeth Edwards Co-Chairs Special Events
If you forget to post on the day of play, you will only be able to post your total 18-hole score. DON’T wait to become familiar with how the new system works. All LLLGA members are required to post all rounds in a timely fashion.
Pam Hamer ISWGA Representative
If you can’t get into your phone application or have any questions, our Golf Professionals in the Golf Shop are ready to assist you. Just call them at 816.322.2117.

Dear Member, As we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, the executive team at The Country Club at Loch Lloyd continues to meet regularly to determine whether to postpone, reschedule or cancel member events. Our primary concern is the safety of members and staff. We’re doing everything we can to keep everyone safe. Although we certainly hope we’re nearing the end of our seclusion and the return to “business as usual” at the Club, we appreciate your patience, understanding and flexibility regarding these changes. One such change is The Scotty Post Party, our inaugural event which was scheduled for May 16th. Now that The Scotty has been rescheduled for August 6th-8th, the Post Party is moving as well.

Loch Lloyd Lightning Swim Team 2020 SEASON CANCELLED from Coach Eric’s April 27th, 2020 Email
I hope this email finds you and your swimmers happy, healthy and embracing this time to be home together. As you know, our league officials got together yesterday to determine the status of our swim season. Unfortunately, at this point it has been determined that the season as we know it will be cancelled. While this is tough news for all of us, the risks far outweigh the rewards. Chris Brems, Dara Witte and I are committed to continue to explore ways to have some semblance of a swim season for our kids this summer. At this point, with no plan in place from government officials on the when and how our communities will be re-opened, we also have yet to formulate a plan. As soon as we receive the appropriate mandates, we will work diligently toward putting something together for our kids! In the meantime, registration will be closed. All fees will be refunded. When we get our plan put together, we will then open a new registration commensurate with how we decide to move forward. Rest assured that we will keep you as up to date as we are. Please give the kids my best and let them know that I cannot wait to be on deck with them as soon as possible! Yours in Swimming, Coach Eric Page 16
