Men’s Association Flag Tournament

The Men's Association Flag Tournament and Steak Fry is on Saturday October 13th. The cost is only $15 for the tournament with the steak fry included. Make up your own group and tee off by 10:00 am. Advanced signup required. You must be a member of the Men’s Association and have a GHIN handicap to play. You can join the Men’s Association for $15 on the day of the tournament. The course is open for regular play during this event

Fall Projects on the Course

There are a number of “projects” that will be completed on the course this fall. The greens will be aerated and top dressed during the first week of October. In mid October the drainage tiling in the 2nd ditch on hole #1 will be replaced with a “tube”. The area will be graded so that it is a shallow swale that can be mowed as fairway. This will make the area much easier to maintain and make the hole more playable. In mid November the irrigation system on the old nine will be replaced. This will allow for more efficient irrigation and will improve turf conditions on this nine. The irrigation system is the 1st project being financed by the $10 per month capital improvement fee that was implemented this spring. The board is also still considering options for the pond on hole #12 which has been almost completely filled with silt in the 20 years since it was built. We hope that you will find the course improvements worth the small disruptions in play they may cause.

Nominations Wanted

The Nominations Committee of Nate Ohnemus, Teri Cooper, Mike Lathrop, and Larry Kubli is still looking for persons interested in running for the Board of Directors, the Board of Trustees, and for President. I know that many of you have the talent and interest to be of service to your club. If you have an interest in running, contact the nominations committee or anyone on the board.

Fall Membership Special

The fall membership special remains in effect for October. Five new members have joined on the special so far. The special is:
* Reduced initiation fee of $250 (50% off the normal $500 initiation fee)
* Dues of only $50 per month thru March 31, 2008
The total saving is equal to about 6 months of winter dues so it makes sense for someone to join now rather than wait until spring. New members will also get to enjoy the benefits of club membership during the fall and winter. As an incentive to recruit new members the recruiting member will receive $50 in clubhouse bucks when the new member pays the initiation.
Jason has new member applications and information that you can pick up or have him send out to a prospective member.

Membership Changes

We have received resignations from Ed & Deb Tierney, Dan & Lisa Dowson, Foster Furler, Cory & Beth Frank, Matt & Anna Brown, Kirk & Nancy Schultz, Tim & Kristi Dusenbury, Derek Kimzey, Jim & Debbie Schuster, Chris Coen, and Dale Hagen. Neal & Connie Fry have dropped their golf membership, but remain as social members. Steve & Kathi Pfeifer return to golf membership from being social members. Welcome new members Paul & Janis Comer, Tom & Gaila Hayes, Phil & Mary Butler, David Roptke and Casey Kellogg. We now have 330 golf and 12 social memberships.
