Now it feels =
like golf weather. Finally , we ha=
ve some warm weather and the winds have died down. And, let’s not forget that the gnats are out, which is a t=
rue sign of spring.
I would like to highlight the boys and girls golf teams and their accompl=
ishments this year. Their conferen=
ce season
is over and they are preparing for sub-section play next week. Both the boys and the girls teams finished t=
he season in
3rd place in the conference. On =
the girls team, Kara Balken and Kelsey Amborn were named All-Conference and=
on the boys side, Phillip Ward, Ryan Knutson and Grant Tufto received All-=
Conference awards. The same can be=
said again this year as was last year, both teams continue to be very youn=
g and both teams will return all of their key players next year. Congratulations to all of these young people=
and keep working on your game this summer. See you on the course.

From the Superintendent
Finally some =
warm spring weather that is getting things growing around the course. We have been trying hard to complete so=
me of the projects around the course. We have most of the 1st tee box completed. We will sod the front tee box in the next couple of days and t=
hen we should be done with that remodel. =
The top will be open for play in the next week or so and the front t=
ee box should be open for play by the middle of June.
You may notic=
e that we have placed a bunch of signs and have staked off areas to restric=
t carts from driving in these areas. Please respect the signs and the stakes as they are meant to make our go=
lf course better. Please utilize c=
art paths when ever possible, especially around the greens.
We have now p=
lugged all of the tee boxes which should make them more enjoyable to stick =
a tee in and this will help their overall health. Next, we will work on the fairways. Thanks for your patience in playing around us as we work =
on projects, especially those that are time consuming. See you on the course.
