Dear Members, How amazing to experience cool, crisp air! It’s a great time of year at the Club. Fall golf is the best … the leaves are starting to change and, of course … we get to cheer on our Chiefs! I’d like to thank all of you for your tremendous support and incredible patience throughout this crazy year. I feel as though we’ve all been on a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs, some hairpin turns and more than a few barrel rolls. Knowing that we’re all on this “ride” together has helped me and our team leaders stay on track, hang on and try to enjoy the experience as much as we can. Thank you for hanging in there with us. It means more than you know. I’d also like to thank Executive Chef Damian and his talented culinary team for their tireless efforts, creative specials and consistently excellent food service. Chef and his crew are busy working on our Thanksgiving menu and we’ll be announcing that in the next several weeks. Hope you enjoy this fabulous month and are able to spend some time with us at the Club!

Dear Members, October has arrived and the golf course continues to hum. As COVID has turned our worlds upside down, golf remains busy and constant and it’s been great to see. Congratulations to our Match Play and Four-Ball winners. We had the greatest participation in both tournaments that we have ever had. Maybe the pandemic keeping everyone home from work had one positive outcome. Thanks to all who participated in the TaylorMade and Callaway demo days. Both were very successful. Let’s hope the new equipment helps your game! SEAN HANNA DIRECTOR OF GOLF seanh@lochlloyd.com
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 31st. On that Saturday, the golf course will be playing a little more difficult than normal as we host our 7th Annual Ghostly Greens event. Jeff Steen and his Golf Course Maintenance team will set pins in some tricky or “ghostly” positions. There is a $20 optional game for all who wish to participate. See details below and be sure to sign up. I want to take a moment to thank Aaron Spradley, our Assistant Golf Professional. Aaron has taken a position for the winter in Naples, Florida. He will be working at Naples Grande Golf Club from October through April and will rejoin us here at Loch Lloyd just in time for the 2021 Scotty.
Please remember to repair ball marks on the greens!

Jeff and his team get to set pins wherever they like on this one Saturday in October. Players beware ... pace of play may be a little slower! There is a $20 optional game for those who wish to get in on the “spooky action.” Bring a guest for $75 (plus the additional $20 if they want in the game).

Dear Member, As the golfing season slows over the next several weeks, the Golf Course Maintenance team continues to work hard behind the scenes. At the time of writing this, we were well into overseeding all of the roughs, greens surrounds and other high-profile areas. The picture below shows several pieces of equipment we use for this process.
JEFF STEEN, CGCS DIRECTOR OF GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE jeffs@lochlloyd.com
The team has also been working on sodding many areas throughout the course. If you have not read the recent edition of QuarterlyINSIGHT, please reach out and I’d be happy to forward you a copy, or swing by the Golf Shop to pick one up. The report has a lot of information regarding the sod work recently completed. Ballmarks … just another gentle reminder to please fix your ballmark and even one other. Please see the diagram below on the proper technique. I’m always happy to meet individually or as a group on this simple, yet effective way to help keep our putting surfaces in great shape!
Lastly, I wanted to remind you to join Sean Hanna and me for our weekly Roundtable Discussions. Our next gettogether is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6th at 9a. Please RSVP at the Golf Shop. Limited to eight attendees at this time to ensure social distancing. On behalf of the entire GCM team, enjoy the month of October, be safe and we’ll look forward to seeing everyone out on the course. Sincerely, Jeff Steen, CGCS Director of Golf Course Maintenance The Country Club at Loch Lloyd

Fitness Center Instructor, Heather Layton, is trained in a variety of yoga styles to include Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Restorative, Gentle Yoga and Deep Stretch
FLOW AND RESTORE YOGA Flow and Restore Yoga (Mondays 8:30a to 9:30a) is a wonderful class accessible to all levels of yogis. It is the perfect blend of breath, movement, and stillness. Each practice begins with gentle flowing movements linked with breath to warm and strengthen the body while increasing flexibility. During the second half of practice we sink into deep, supported, restorative poses bringing the student into an almost meditative state while letting the body fully relax. The perfect body balancing yoga practice combining yin and yang. MIXED LEVEL VINYASA FLOW YOGA Mixed Level Vinyasa Flow Yoga (Wednesdays 8:30a to 9:30a) is fun and upbeat. Linking breath and movement to create a full body workout while calming the mind. Each class starts with gentle movements to warm the body, moving into poses that strengthen while creating flexibility and balance, and ends with a state of deep relaxation in Savasana. It is created to be accessible to yogis of almost any level, with the ability to simplify or intensify movements. The perfect class to calm the body and mind while getting your daily exercise. In addition to her two new classes, Heather offers private lessons (for 1 to 2 members at $70 per person) or small group lessons (for 3 to 5 members at $25 per person).
