Watch now on Youtube.com/McConnellGolf
Premier play Precise designs Pure golf
What began as the historical preservation of Donald Ross’ last golf course design in Raleigh, NC, has blossomed into a portfolio of championship courses from the mountains to the coast Our “pure golf for the true golfer” motto transcends agronomy, sport and culinary disciplines it is a principle lived every day through exceptional facilities and service The “Pure Golf for the True Golfer” video encapsulates this principle, made in celebration of #NationalGolfDay.

GROUNDS
I wanted to start this newsletter with a big thank you to everyone for the warm reception upon my arrival in April Country Club of Asheville is everything and more that I was expecting Amazing golf course, great membership, and dedicated staff not only in the Golf Course Maintenance department but throughout the club
We started out the summer season with the leveling and re-grassing of the driving range tee. In working with the golf shop staff and tweaks to our maintenance, we should be able to keep the grass-teeing surface open throughout the summer. As a plus, the new Bermuda grass tee will allow divots and wear and tear on the tee to recover much quicker. So, no more hunting around looking for a section of good turf.
With the summer season upon us, I would like to take a minute to pass along a few friendly reminders:
We always try to complete our “in-play” maintenance before golf, but in the event you come across a Golf Maintenance team member, please make sure they acknowledge you before playing your shot.
Course etiquette is especially important during the heat of the summer. Fixing ball marks will help prevent disease, decrease the amount of “new” poa annua, and most importantly provide a smooth surface for the golfers behind you. If you cannot find yours, you can always find one Replacing divots and topping with sand is similar to fixing ball marks and will maintain a healthy playing surface
Golf cart traffic has one of the biggest impacts on the health of the turf during the summer months Being cognizant of high-traffic areas, dry or wet areas, and riding with someone else will all be a great help in maintaining our golf course
We would like to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July and hope everyone has an enjoyable last two months of your summer. Always feel free to reach out to our Assistant Superintendent Hampton Haney or myself if you have questions, comments, or concerns.
Sean K Baskette Golf Course Superintendent

Introducing our New Massage Therapist!
I am excited that your current massage therapist Stephanie has brought me in to help work on you and help you feel your best.
A little about my study, in 2015 I went to Costa Rica School of Massage therapy, where I was trained by teachers from all over the world. I have education on hot stones, cupping, and some Ayurvedic treatments. I have traveled to Hawaii to learn my favorite modality Lomi Lomi massage. This style is orthopedic in nature, focusing on the joints to free movement. Over the years, I have been a part of team at five star spas and wellness retreats. I enjoy working on ALL body types. Everyone deserves to feel their best. My goal when you are on the table is to help ease your tension and pain.
I will be available on Thursdays 11:00am – 4:00pm.
I look forward to sharing my skills with you. Summer Lynn
