From the First Tee

Blanton Tessin, Director of Golf

Congratulations to Our Tournament Winners

We had a great end to our spring season and a great start to our summer season. In early May we had the second playing of our Iqua Member-Member. Jeff Skinner and Eric Livingston came out victorious after an exciting 4-hole playoff over Parker Touchton and Stewart Knight. Congratulations are also in order for our Memorial Day Tournament gross winners Huston Stewart, Jack O’Callahan, Justin Ryan, and Ryan Vogt, and the net winners Michael Pentaleri, Peter Hunt, Jonathan Horn, and Mike Trobaugh.

Golf Course Closure

Fourth of July

We began July with an exciting weekend at the Club as we celebrate Independence Day. Please be mindful of our guest policy on this historically busy weekend. Family guests and non-resident guests may play anytime on Friday and Sunday and after 12:00 pm on Saturday. The golf course will be open on Monday, July 3, and family guests and non-resident guests will be able to play at any time. We will host our annual July 4th Tournament with an 8:30 am shotgun. Following the tournament, tee times will be available at 1:30 pm.

Lightning Alarm System

The heat of summer is upon us, and with that comes many afternoon thunderstorms. Anytime lightning is detected within six miles of the Club, the active lightning alarm system will sound with one long single blast. At that time, all golfers are required to immediately quit playing and practicing and seek shelter. At 20 minutes from the last strike within six miles of the Club, the all-clear siren will sound with three blasts. At that time, it will be safe to resume playing and practicing.

Annual Course Maintenance

The golf course will be closed for annual course maintenance from August 1–3. Tee times will be available beginning at 11:00 am on Friday, August 4. The course is closed every year during this week to allow Alan Brown and his team to aerify and complete any final course projects as we approach a busy fall season.

Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS Tournament

We are not far from hosting the third annual Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS Tournament which is set to be played the first week of October. We look forward to having Steve Stricker back to defend his title along with many other of the game’s greatest players. As we approach the tournament, please be aware of the following dates:

• September 19 – Cart Path Only begins.

• September 29 – The course and practice facilities will close to play following close of business. Members must also remove bags from the bag room and have all men’s and ladies’ lockers cleaned out.
