From the General Manager
Around here, we go from feast to famine=
with regards to activity. Th=
e first two weeks of August, we had something going on almost every day.
On Friday, August 28th, we will open up the golf course to all for green =
fees. We will also begin our =
fall rates for green fee payers. I would like to challenge every member to invite a guest out to play go=
lf here this fall. It is the =
best way to show off our course and motivate others to join our course next=
year. I also would like to c=
hallenge everyone to introduce yourself to anyone on the course that you do=
not know and welcome them and thank them for picking our course to play. <=

I would like to highlight a golf event that is coming up in September, th=
e First Annual “Supers” Revenge. It is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th. Please mark your calendars and join us in =
a fun day on the course. The =
flyer and sign up sheets will be up in the next week or so with all of the =
details of the event.
Lastly, I just want to remind you to keep the club house in mind this fal=
l when it comes to eating out. Kari continues to send out the weekly specials each Tuesday to everyone o=
n the email list. Keep us in =
mind and make us a destination. Your business is very much appreciated.=
See you at the course

From the Superintendent
On September 19th, we will be holding our first ann=
ual “Superintendents Revenge Golf Outing”. We are working through the final details and flye=
rs and sign up sheets will be in the pro shop very shortly. This event will not be for the faint of hear=
t and we plan on some very tough pin placements (the real fun ones!) and ma=
ybe even a mower or work truck left in a bad spot. This event will be a fun way to end the year and the =
money we make on the day will be spent to replace the cart path going down =
the hill from the first tee box with a concrete cart path. Please mark your calendar and plan on making =
the event. If you are interes=
ted in helping plan the event, stop in and see Jeremiah or Josh. See you on th=
e course.

Here is a lin=
k to a State of Minnesota web site that explains the “bug” and =
what it is going to do throughout our state. www.mda=
.state.mn.us/plants/pestmanagement/eab.htm. The bug has=
now been identified in St. Paul. Just two years ago, it was in central Wisconsin. So it is making its w=
ay west at a very swift pace. Our golf course is heavily laden with ash trees and we are working on putt=
ing a plan in place to be pro-active in removing our ash trees and replanti=
ng with different varieties of trees. =
; The first trees we will remove are those ash trees that already ha=
ve some damage to them or are hollow in the trunks as they are the first on=
es the bug will attack. If yo=
u have any questions, please feel free to visit with Jeremiah or Josh when =
you see them on the course. I=
f you would like to help with the tree removal, give them a call as they wi=
ll begin working on some of the trees by the middle of September.
