Our staffing levels will become complete in the coming weeks. Like all new members in our department, we will be spending hours training for safety and quality of work. Detail work to improve course conditions will be done on a more routine basis as the new staff becomes familiar with the routines. Several of our new staff have been recommended by members, thank you for your help with recruiting.

The bridges on #15 and 18 tees we believe moved due to fluctuations of the ice on the lake this spring. We have had a local company evaluate the issue and are on their schedule for repairs to the structure on #15.

The bridge on hole 18 will need to be repaired after the golf course closes this fall due to routing issues. We will keep everyone updated when there is more information.

Cart path expansion by the putting green and through hole 9 went well. Restoral work has been completed and we are seeing new seedlings growing along the construction. Please do not walk or drive on the newly seeded soil, we will be watering frequently.

With the amount of play the golf course is receiving please repair all ball marks and fill divots. Keep golf carts out of the native areas and stay on cart paths around greens and tees.

See you on the course.
