<= /span>

For the 2008 golf season, the Board ha= s decided to discontinue the policy of allowing members to charge their ex= penses at the club and be billed at the end of the month. We are requesting that all bills be paid in = full before you leave the course or clubhouse. This will insure that our staff has accounted for all p= urchases and it will eliminate all questions of expenses at the end of eac= h month.

Not much new from the “shed”. Thought we were close to getting things going, but two= good snowfalls in two weeks has pushed things back. Was out on the course for a walk to look around l= ast week. Did not see anythi= ng out of the ordinary on the course with regards to winter issues. Ground is very soft and wet.
See you on the course in a couple= of weeks.

April 6, 2008 to May = 17, 2008

Clubhouse is open on Wednesdays & = Fridays at 4 p.m. with two for one drink special from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Watch for new Spring hours & speci= als.<= o:p>

It does not look like we will make my = prediction of teeing it up the same time as Tiger is at Augusta. This last dropping of snow will defin= itely push back our opening of the course for play this year. We will now shoot for a Wednesday, April 16th opening of t= he course. If good, warm and= windy weather becomes the norm, we may be able to open a day or two befor= e, but for now, that is our NEW plan.&nbs= p; Once we are golfing, the first few weeks the clubhouse will be o= pen on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. By the first part of May, we will then open on Tues= days and Thursdays also.

Just a reminder to have all of your fe= es paid up before you begin to play. = ; So, if you have not paid for your cart stall, please do so in the= next couple of days. We hav= e several people interested in cart stalls and we would like to accommodat= e them early in the season if we can.&nbs= p; We will be going through the cart shed by the end of April to in= sure that each space is paid for and is being used. If you have a cart that you no longer need and wou= ld like to sell it, let us know and we will try to help locate a buyer for= you. Just drop us a note or= an email.

We could also use your help in getting= more of our members email addresses.&nbs= p; If you have mentioned this newsletter to other members and they = say they have not seen it, please make sure to tell them to get us their e= mail
address. We will not be ma= iling out the newsletter through standard mail simply because of the expen= se. We will post it in a cou= ple of different spots at the course for review, but it will not be as tim= ely as getting it by email.

See you at the course in the next couple of weeks<= /span>.
