This cross over option was included to try to be flexible and allow players trying to get in a quick nine or just a few holes a convenient option.  If everyone signs in it will help players starting out know if crossover may be possible.  They can check for groups starting about 2 hours earlier.  It can work if everyone uses common sense.  If there are problems this option may have to be eliminated.

            The one exception to playing the course links style will be on Tuesdays. All day on Tuesdays, the course will be played with the current east nine as the front nine and the west nine as the back nine. This will allow us to make better use of the course during junior golf time and during Tuesday Night League.  With two nines to tee off on, the course should be more open to regular play on Tuesday nights.  The tees will still be crowed for a short time while league players are teeing off.  The one potential problem with this arrangement is the difficulty of going out and back to the "west nine".  Players going out and back via the #1 cart path will need to be careful not to interfere with those playing #1.  If you are playing #1 on Tuesdays, be aware that players may be going to or from the west nine and do not hit if they are in range.  The Board is looking at ways to make the out and back travel less disruptive to play on number 1.

A schedule for how the course will be played each day the west nine is open is as follows:

(Remember, in June the west nine will be closed, Mondays, Tuesdays (until 4pm), and Fridays.)

Mondays - course closed until 9:00am, then played links style with "crossover"

Tuesdays - course played with east nine as front nine and west nine as back nine.

Wednesdays - course played links style with "crossover".  Women's Association may play the course as east nine and west nine for league.

Thursdays - course played links style with "crossover".

Fridays - course played links style with "crossover".

Saturdays - course played links style with "crossover". NOTE: Couples 2-Ball may shotgun start at 6 pm on the east or west nine.  If you tee off after 2 pm be aware that this may interrupt the completion of your round.  Signs will be posted.  If you want to play more when 2-Ball starts, the other nine will be open.

Sundays - course played links style with "crossover".

            Having this 18 hole layout is new to all of us.  Due to the difficulty of getting to and from the west nine, the Board felt that the links style layout was the best option.  We will evaluate this option during the year and make adjustments as needed.  Let us know how it is going.

Junior Golf

            Remember that advanced sign-up by May 31st is required so that the juniors can be divided into approximately equal size groups by age.  Junior golf will start on June 8th and NOT on June 1st as originally announced.  The other dates are June 22nd, June 29th, July 6th, and July 13th. If you have questions call Jason Marvelli at 961-3303.

Friday Night Dinner in June

            A Friday night dinner catered by Country Club Catering, is planned for Friday June 4th from 6:00pm-8:00pm.  The menu is a. Rib Eye dinner for $15.  Reservations are required.  Call the club at 961-3303.  Come on out and support your club.

Family Golf Evening

Last years Family Golf Evening was well received.  The first of three scheduled for this year is on Sunday June 13th at 4:30 pm.  The cost is only $5 per family and golf activities with prizes will be available for families with kids of all ages and skill levels.  The outdoor patio grill will be open for the purchase of hotdogs, hamburgers etc.  Come on out and play along with your kids.   Please sign-up in the clubhouse in advance to allow for proper planning.

Reminders

Sign-in and Pair up - All members and guests should sign in before teeing off.  This is particularly important now that the new west nine is open.  Also, if you are a single or twosome, pair up and form a threesome or foursome during busy times.  This will help everyone get teed off in a timely manner.

Pro Shop - We have the ability in our pro shop to order almost any kind of clubs, golf bags, or golf shoes you may want at competitive prices.  Check with Jason and he will do all he can to see that you get what you need.

Dues/Cart Fee/Locker Fee Reminder - Remember that as of April 1st, all golf dues went up $20 per month.  Family Membership is $120/mo., Single Membership $110/mo., and Single (under 30) is $105/mo.  This change was reflected in the 2nd quarter billing.  Cart fees were also be billed in April. These were due by May 1st.  If not paid by June 1st the cart is not allowed on the course.  If you have a locker, the fees are collected by the Ladies or Men's Associations.  Kasey Kiplinger or Larry Pezzetti will collect for the Men's Association. 

Membership Changes 

            We have received resignations from David Beane and Jeff & Holly Lucas.  Larry & Diane Dunn have dropped their golf membership but remain as social members. Welcome new members Michael & Beth Mealey .We now have 304 golf and 8 social memberships.

"Build a House Campaign"

           The "Build a House Campaign" was launched at the Spring Fling Dance to raise money for the shelter/restroom facility planned for the new west nine.  Memorial bricks are being sold for $100 each and they will be laid in a Memorial Pathway outside of the facility.  You can have any inscription (up to 3 lines) on the brick that you choose. So far over $3,000 has been raised in this campaign.  People have purchased bricks indicating the year they joined or when they made a hole-in-one for example.  You can see some sample bricks in the clubhouse.  Please join us in this effort.  Click Here for a printable pledge form.
