Greens have been fertilized and the second application of= chemical to help them absorb water better will go this week, if the wind a= nd rain stop for long enough = Over the next couple of weeks, we should start to notice on the old greens = the area we cut back begin to green up.&nb= sp; It will take a while, but it will come and should help take some= of the pin placement pressure off of these small greens. Also in the next week, we will be applying our= first of two applications of fertilizer to the fairways. The second application will be in July.
For the time being, use the 90 degree rule for carts out on the course an= d as always, please keep carts at least 30 feet away from the greens.. See you on the course.

I am very excited to see how the member= ship takes advantage of the board’s decision to allow us to invite re= sidents of Montevideo, who are not members, to play with a member this seas= on. The ultimate goal is to c= ontinue to attract more members to our golf course each year and what a bet= ter way than to have our membership invite out Montevideo friends and get t= hem to play on a regular basis. Please take advantage and fill out your group or invite a couple to play= with you and your spouse.

I also would like to thank our newly fo= rmed Tournament Committee. Th= ey will be helping the staff plan, organize and run the course golf events:= Fiesta Scramble, the MenR= 17;s/Women’s Club Champ= ionship, The Crossings Classic, Couples’ Night events and the Crossin= gs Cup, just to name a few of the events.&= nbsp; The group is also working on planning a new family event to be= held at the course in early August - fun and games on the course and cook = out on the deck in the evening. More details to follow this summer.

See you at the course.=

The Board of Directors is pleased to an= nounce that for the remaining golf season, there is a new benefit for our membership. Members of The Crossings will be able to inv= ite and have play with them during the 2008 golf
season, residents of Montevideo who are not members of the club. We feel this will be a great opportun= ity to
utilize our membership to show off the course and attract new members for= the 2009 season. Your invite= d guest
must play in your group and must pay green fees just like anyone else who= plays our course. We are ask= ing you
to be present when your guest checks in and registers in the proshop and = inform them that this person is your
guest. We want to be able t= o track the play of member’s guests from the Montevideo zip code to e= valuate the
use at the end of the year. If you have any questions with regards to this benefit, please give a boar= d member
a call or give the course a call.
