FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF

The season is winding down and it’s time for a little report on how things went for 2007 and things to expect for the 2008 golf season. This past spring we completed the work we had started on the drainage problems as well as the bunkers on #3 and #9. We also eliminated the bunker on hole #11. After two years of waiting for the conditions to be right, we were able to dredge out the ponds on holes #12 and #15. This will also help with the drainage problems we had in those areas. It seems odd to be talking about drainage in a year we had a major drought, but drainage is an ongoing problem and must be addressed. Due to the heavy rains last winter, we replaced the crossovers on #11, #14 and #18. For the 2008 season, we plan to repair some of our tees and will start to build new ladies tees on several holes. We have already started the redo on the practice tee and is should be ready by early next summer. The summer of 2007 brought both good and bad. The weather was fantastic for playing and our rounds were up because of it. The lack of rain cost us our fairways in late summer, but there was no way to prevent that. The fairways have come back pretty well with some rain in the fall and should be fully recovered by spring. I think most of you will agree that our greens were very good all year long. We feel we have rounded the turn on greens #1, #5, #6 and #16. You will continue to see improvement on these as well as the rest of the golf course. We hope you will take an active role in promoting our club. We have several incentives for you to bring in new members. We also want you to feel welcome to bring to our attention any problem that you are aware of. As we have said in the past, we want you to have fun and be proud to be a member of Triple Creek Golf Club.

Thank you – Dave Coller, PGA Director of Golf
