CLUB UPDATES

Options for improving the racquet sports area and creating a workout room are being reviewed. The potential golf course improvements are being reviewed for options as well. The golf course will take the most time to plan and execute. All the potential changes are going to help create a better membership experience for all.

Independence Day is in a few days. We have a golf tournament in the morning followed by an optional lunch cookout at the pool. The pool will have a DJ playing some of your favorite summer and beach music and Chef Will is preparing great summer buffet for your enjoyment. Come out and enjoy the midweek holiday at the Club.

Last weekend we had the 63rd Annual Member Guest Golf Outing. Everyone had a great time and other than a few rain showers on Friday afternoon the weather was perfect. Kudos to Craig and his staff for preparing the course. The comments were very positive about the course. If you have not played recently come out and enjoy the course and a cold beverage. Chef Will and the food & beverage department did a great job serving the 826 meals during the event.

Next month as we gear up for the next school year, we will have the annual Back to School Pool Party. This event is complementary to the children of the club. Guests are welcome for a nominal fee.

This is a great time to have friends, work associates and family to join the club. If you know of a prospective member, please let me know. I will reach out to them or put them in contact with Matt McConnell, our membership director.

We are all excited about the changes that are taking place or will be taking place in the future. As always it is a pleasure to serve you. Please, if you have any questions about the operations, let me know.

Best Regards,

Isaac B. Davis Sr., CCM

General Manager

the-less it is coming around with the more recent warmer temperatures and periodic rains that we have been getting. One of the weakest fairways was number 7 and I have been monitoring it closely.It has made huge advancements and is nearly filled in throughout the fairway. We have fertilized the entire course with a mixture of controlled and quick release nitrogen, some phosphorous and potassium in an effort to push the Bermuda and stimulate growth. Now it is paying dividends.

The greens are in the best shape I have seen them in for the month o June. They were a bit slow to heal this year with the cooler temperat but that is one of the downsides to the A-1/A-4 bentgrass in the sprin

It really likes warmer soil temperatures and demands them to get rec in the spring. They are putting great right now and are very healthy. have had numerous incidents of vandalism on the greens where it w appear to be someone taking the back of their putter and slamming the green multiple times. The worst case of this was on number on g but I have seen it on a few other greens throughout the course as we If anyone has seen or heard anything that may help us to be able to c the culprit of this damage, I would greatly appreciate it

In the coming weeks we will be aerifying the fairways, tees, and collars on the course as well as the driving range tee We have focused our efforts in recent weeks on detail work Cart paths have been edged, bushes have been trimmed and beds cleaned up both at the clubhouse and around the course And yet again we continued with the relentless task of picking up pinecones and sticks Our efforts have largely been focused on routine maintenance and detail work

We have received several compliments on the course conditions, and I would like to thank you all for those Some have come directly to me, and others have been to the staff directly Whatever the avenue, my staff and I greatly appreciate them

As always, I look forward to seeing you on the course!

Regards,

Craig Clemmer, Superintendent
