We will have more information on this after our golf committee meeting. And a special thanks to Paul Chabot, Wendy Ibberson, and Denny Cross for selling corporate sponsorships. Our brick sales are going strong. I want to thank all those patrons again who have bought the bricks for our cart path fund raising project. Special thanks to Tony Bosch and Sunshine Foods for sponsoring This month we have our 19th Annual Men’s Open on Sunday, June 21st and our Ladies Invitational on Wednesday, June 24th.

I want to thank Kelly and his crew for having the course in great shape right now. Our greens are putting 15% faster than last year on the stimpmeter so be careful when you are above the hole! Talk again in July. -Zane SwensonGeneral Manager/PGA ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Golf Tip With all the rain and perfect grass growing temperatures we're dealing with some thick rough this year. Here are three things to help you out when dealing with the rough: 1. Hit the fairway. 2. Ok you can't hit every fairway so the first thing is to take enough loft to get out. Advance the ball rather than duffing it because you are trying to get too much out of a bad lie, take your medicine and you'll save strokes. 3. Stay down on the ball and strike it with a firm downward blow, do not try to "scoop" it out of the rough. These things should help better manage your game out of the rough. -Andrew BauerAssistant Golf Professional ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Superintendent’s Corner As we move into June there are events all over the place. We have 21 outings this month. We are going to be busy. I need to send out a thank you to Jeff, Zane Sr, and Zane Jr. for their great work on the pump house. I also have to recognize my crew, without them this job would be impossible. If you see them tell them thanks. It would mean a lot. out down there, edge bunkers, and start spraying for some of the dandelions and outer edge weeds. Get your bricks purchased for this years cart path project. It is a great investment for your course and one of the improvements that lasts a very long time before needing to be redone. Also, it is really neat to show people your brick. We have had a lot of talk about As always, please find me if you the rough. Spring time is when have any questions about the we get our flush growth. As course. weather dries up and warms up, the grass will slow down considerably. It will get better. Hope-Kelly Eilersfully it stays nice and thick, but Superintendent/ GCSAA just not quite as fast growing.
