Easter Buffet reservations available.
From the General Manager
Well, some where during the wee hours o=
f Saturday night the river came back over the banks and flooded the bottom =
holes again. This year the river i=
s going to crest somewhere in the 20 foot range. Last year it crested at 18.3 feet. Please find below a link to the web site that shows you the=
status of the river based on readings taken at the bridge next to hole 17.=
Once the river gets back under th=
e 17 foot mark we will begin the process of pumping out the water. It will take about 6-8 days to pump the bo=
ttom. After that it is a matter of=
allowing the river to continue to drop the water table and some sunshine t=
o dry up the bottom so we can clean things up and begin to play all 18 hole=
s.
We are evaluating the course and the ra=
nge on a daily basis and will open them up to play as soon as everything ha=
s dried up. We will keep you infor=
med by emails on the status of the course opening up.

Comedy Corner
It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Bob was beg=
inning his pre-shot routine, visualizing his upcoming shot when a voice cam=
e over the clubhouse loudspeaker - "Would the gentleman on the Ladies =
tee please back up to the men's tee, please!"
Bob was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interrupti=
on. Again the announcement - "Would the man on the women's tee kindly =
back up the men's tee!"
Bob had had enough. He shouted, "Would the announcer in the clubhous=
e kindly shut up and let me play my second<=
/span> shot!"

From the Superintendent
The end of last week we got out and wal=
ked most of the course to see what everything looks like with most of the s=
now gone. The greens look awesome =
and show no signs of any problems. We do have a fair amount of pink and gray snow mold along tee boxes and ar=
ound the greens. This will go away=
with time. We will get out and wo=
rk up these areas with a rack and then some sunshine will help them heal.
If you are lo=
oking to have your cart serviced before the season, please call 269-6828 an=
d follow the menu options to get to my voice mail. Leave me a message of what you want done and how to get ba=
ck a hold of you.
If you hit your ball onto the wrong put=
ting green, you may not hit off the green.=
There is no penalty for picking up your ball and dropping it off t=
he green at the nearest point of relief (Rule 25-3). Drop the ball within one club-length of the nearest poin=
t of relief but no closer to your intended pin. The nearest point of relief would not include dropping it in =
a hazard or on the green. You may =
clean the ball when you lift it from the green.
