IHS Boy’s Golf The Indianola High School Boy’s Golf Team will be playing and practicing at the club again this fall. Many of the players are members. The schedule is not set when our calendar is published so meets are listed here and in the September Club Activities Schedule at the end of this newsletter. They will have meets this year on Friday August 31st, Monday September 10th, Friday, September 14th, Monday, September 17th (New Nine), Friday September 21st, and Friday September 28th. All of these meets will take place on the East/Old Nine except for the one on the 17th which will take place on the West/New Nine. All meets will begin at 3:30 pm and should close the starting tee for approximately one hour. The other nine is always available for play. The course will NOT be reversed for those days so members should plan their round accordingly. I hope you will all support the high school golfers in their efforts. Attention Early Morning Golfers With sunrise coming later in the morning, the earliest time for golfers to tee of and play the west nine has been changed to 7:00 am. Remember that this is to allow the maintenance staff to complete their morning course preparations without interference from golfers. Golfers can start earlier if they play the old/east nine.

Fall Membership Special Our membership numbers are good, but the Membership Committee would like to keep our membership numbers up over the winter so we are going to repeat last years successful fall membership special. As always, you the current members are our best source of new members. The special, which starts September 1, 2007, is
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. Information and a downloadable application are also available on our website at www.indianolacountryclub.com. Membership Changes We have received resignations from Brad Jorgensen, Bill & Cindy Lloyd, and Layne & Geri Henry. Tom & Janet Palme have dropped their golf membership, but remain as social members. We now have 337 golf and 12 social memberships. |
