About Your Course - by Course Superintendent Bob Volpe
Bob Volpe's Service Truck
The planting of Zoysiagrass in front of the clubhouse is complete and ready for its first mowing.  We have started at a higher height of cut so as not too stress the the new grass. It will take a few mowings and rolling to get it smooth and at our desired height.  At some time, there may be some scalping in the process of lowering the height of cut. This is expected and the grass will adapt to the new height as do all southern grasses

We are in the final stages of tree planting on the Egret course. Gordon Lewis has been on sight weekly guiding the process.

See some photos below.  For more photos of changes on the Egret course, click here.

About Those Scallops.........

To add to the topic of scallops from last week, I will explain a little about the scallop fishing industry and how they produce their product.  Five years ago I had the opportunity to attend the Boston Seafood Show.  On one of the mornings, our seafood provider brought us to a scallop processing plant so we could see the whole operation.  The boats go out for three days of scallop fishing.  During these three days all of the scallops are shucked on the boat and placed into a large holding tank. When the boat arrives at the plant, the top layer which is the freshest layer, is used for the "dry pack" scallops, the middle layer is then further treated with saline and used as wet scallops.  The bottom and oldest layer is cleaned and individually quick frozen.  These are the scallops you will find in your grocery store freezers.

The new Grill Room menu for June has many new items, such as Summer Shrimp Quesadilla, Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops, Heirloom Spinach Salad with Fresh Strawberries, Smoked Salmon BLT, Chicken Milanese, Mushroom Ravioli and we will also bring back Liver and Onions for the many members who requested it. Our goal during the summer months is to give you several new menu items to try and we appreciate your feedback on your favorite selections.  
 
Grill Room service is unchanged for June and will include lunch every day except Tuesday and dinner service on Thursday and Friday evenings. Join us for Prime Rib night in The Grill Room every Friday evening.
