Ponca City Country Club October 2014 Newsletter From the Board President Fall is in the air and we have perfect golfing weather! I look forward to seeing you on the golf course. We currently have over 30 resumes for a golf pro. We plan to start the interview process very soon so that we can get a new golf pro hired by the first of the year. In the meantime Pixie and John are working very hard to take care of all of your golfing needs in the Golf Shop. Things are moving along well with our capital projects. We have a new roof, new canopy, outdoor carpet at the entrances, a handicap incline lift to the upstairs ballroom and we have purchased some golf course equipment. Our goal is to have the grill room redecorated by late October. It is not too late to make a contribution if you have not done so. I would like to thank the ladies on our decorating committee for doing such a nice job keeping the Club decorated for the various seasons of the year. If you would like to volunteer to help on the decorating committee please contact the office at 762-2436. Have a great October.

Whit Baker Executive Chef 580-762-2436 [email protected] PCCC Fitness 1st Come by or call to schedule a time for a fitness consultation or just to look at what we have to offer! Greg Armstrong (580) 761-0752 Golf Course News Everything on the course is going well and on schedule. Bermuda growth is beginning to slow and soon we will be enjoying the colors of fall. It’s a great time to be outdoors so everyone needs to get out and get a few rounds in before it gets too cold. One of our goals on the course is to maintain a more firm greens surface. The issue with our greens is thatch. This is the accumulation of dead and living organic matter just beneath the turf surface. Our program consists of water and fertility management, along with aerification and vertical mowing. During periods of heat stress we minimize our program to ensure the health of our greens, but with the onset of fall we become more aggressive. The staff has already completed one round of spiking and our vertical mowing is in full swing. I am positive we are making an impact and will continue to make this a priority. Tree care will be our first winter project. Cart path improvement is also on the top of the list. It won’t be long before frost will dictate our start time. Please use caution and check in at the Golf Shop before starting play or practice. If you have any questions or comments please come by the shop or give me a call. Doyle Brookshire Golf Course Superintendent [email protected] 580-352-2256 From The Golf Shop It is hard to believe that the 53rd Cherokee Strip has come and gone. The tournament was a huge success and we received numerous compliments throughout the event. I would like to thank all of the PCCC employees who worked so hard to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. What can I say about the volunteers besides “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!” You always play such an important role in the club’s biggest event of the year and your efforts are greatly appreciated. I also want to give a special thanks to Stuart Powell and Don Lockwood who spent countless hours helping in the shop during this event. During the last week of August and the first 10 days of September, we could not ring up sales in the computer. This happened because it was decided that we should take the inventory out of the computer and then re-enter it in a more detailed way. This was a very challenging task, but it was finally completed with much help from ProShop Keeper, Stuart Powell and Virginia Kirkendall. Because of this situation, we had to write down all sales in a notebook and then ring them up at a later date once the computer was ready to go. This involved not only merchandise, but also cart rentals, range fees, beverages and guest fees. I’m explaining this because many members will notice items on their next PCCC bill that were rang up on days that you were not at the club. If anyone has any questions regarding this, please give me a call at the shop. Upcoming golf events in October include the following: *Wednesday, October 1st…WGA Ladies Horserace…2:00 pm *Sunday, October 5th….Ponca City Elks Lodge 2002...1:00 pm *Saturday, October 11th…District Elks…1:00 pm Sunday, October 12th…Phillips 66 PCSEA…1:00 pm *Wednesday, October 15th…Bliss Industry *Friday, October 17th…Jesters…1:00 pm *Sunday, October 19th…PCCC Couples Tournament . . .1:00 pm At least half of the course will be open on the dates marked with a star * because these are smaller events! Please keep in mind that the outside events generate considerable income for the club. We will continue the Wednesday night “9-hole golf game events”. Please call ahead to sign-up and meet at the shop by 5:00 pm. Everyone puts in $10 with all money going back in cash prizes. We will keep this event going as long as we can, depending on darkness and colder weather. Fall is a wonderful time of year to play golf. Come out and enjoy the beautiful weather!
