Re-Tiling of Clubhouse Hallways
The project to re-tile the west rotunda, including the hallway towards the Golf Shop, the rest rooms and a small tiled area at the former caf� entrance will begin on Tuesday, May 31. Work could extend to two weeks. During that time, the entrances will have to be closed off and traffic will have to be redirected. Signs will be posted to assist you and the back doors to each locker room/shower areas will be unlocked for your use during this time.
This work will not affect the Golf Shop's hours of operation, but their back entrance will be closed during the project.
We plan to split the project in two (2) phases. The Rotunda itself being one phase and the Golf Shop hallway, rest rooms and former caf� entrance the other phase. We don't anticipate any problems, but in construction you never know. Nonetheless, please know, we will do everything in our power to make this as painless as possible. We apologize for this temporary inconvenience and ask for your patience, cooperation and understanding during this project.
Club Board MeetingsThe next board meeting will be in September. Once scheduled, the time and date will be available here. |

Egret renovations began this week as we opened Ibis for play. Egret's tree planting program will begin June 6.
This week we bring in a contractor for our annual Mole Cricket control program. It is interesting that the active ingredient used for mole cricket control is the same we all use for flea and tick control on our cats and dogs.
We also will be deep aerifying selected "problem" areas on the courses this week followed by a heavy sand topdressing to amend the soil .
The landscaping project at the clubhouse will be completed this week.

  On May 20, Arnie Nelson played the seventh hole of the Egret course from the Blue tees.
His 177-yard 4-iron found the cup for an ace, Arnie's third.
This accomplishment was witnessed by Stan Goldberg, Warren Siegel and Larry Smith
Congratulations, Arnie!
