Jon Potter, PGA General Manager From July 1 on, always seems to feel like we are going with our hair on fire. 4th of July Flag tournament, Ladies Member Guest, Men’s Member Guest, both Club Championships, throw a Nine and Dine a few Corporate outings, a seafood boil and before you know it we are into late August. What a gem the golf course has been for us to play golf on. Josh remains committed to providing us great turf conditions. Thank you to all the members who participated in the member work night. Please respect what Josh and his crew are doing, by using the sand and seed, fixing ball marks and using the cart paths where provided around tees and greens. The new Project at the Club is progressing nicely but a bit slower than

anticipated. We have been given conditional loan approval from the Bank of

Idaho along with cooperation from the USDA, with only a few minute details

to be worked out. The project is on schedule to break ground late

September to early October, with a Clubhouse completion the middle of May

and the pool early to late June. It has been a real roller coaster ride to bring

this all together, but very worthwhile in the long run and for future members

and families. We have had several members step up with both verbal and

financial support. To date we have sold 7 of the 8 approved Platinum

Memberships, along with 2 member pledge donations for $10,000 to go

towards the improvements, and another member has offered to loan up to

$750,000 to bridge any gap, that is necessary for FF&E and or construction

Josh Benson, Superintendent Hopefully summer is almost here as temperatures start to make there way into the 80's and we can play golf without a jacket. Over past month we have been spraying weeds weekly to stay ahead of the dandelion bloom that has hit hard this year. The effort is starting to show on the course. As for projects on the golf course we haven't really had any, just been mowing trying to stay caught up on rough and seeding and replacing dead area's where needed. For the month of June we will begin trim-ming trees up and knocking down the weeds and long grass under them to keep them looking good and playable. The four hole short course is ready for play as well and we will begin cutting cups in them as soon as they are putt able, so for now they can be used as target practice. On June 9th we will have a Member work night, starting at 6 p.m. and we will be filling divots and edging sprinkler heads. Every-one is welcomed to participate. I have heard a lot of good comments about the golf course and the crew and I appreciate all of them. Thank you and will see you on the course.

overages. It is amazing and heartwarming the generosity and support of so many members. Thank you to those that have opened their hearts, minds and wallets, and recognizing the need and change for growth in the future. Anyone wanting to contribute to the success of your club, all donations are appreciated and accepted. We anticipate a final town hall meeting mid to late July to disclose final design, membership

offerings, and budget details, at which time a full membership vote to proceed under those conditions will

be taken and tallied. As per the by-laws of the club, we will notify you at least 10 days in advance of the

actual meeting time and place, so please keep your eyes, and minds open.

The summer is flying by with the fourth of July just around the corner and a busy June is completed. We were able to get the tree rings sodded this past month and these area's will be ready for play in about a week. We also removed two dead tree's from the left side of # 10, so this will help to make the lane look clean. I would like to thank everyone who showed up for Member Work Day! We had a good turn out and were able to fill divots on every hole and edge plenty of sprinkler heads. For the month of July we will continue to trim up tree's as our main project for the month and mow a lot of rough. I want to remind everyone to please fix your ball marks on the greens. I have noticed over the past couple weeks that a lot of marks are not getting repaired and the sooner we fix them, the quicker they will recover. Also if you like to eat sunflower seeds while playing golf please do not SPIT the shells on the greens. Not only does the shell affect a putt if you hit one but, they are not good on the greens mower blades. So if you could please refrain from eating them on the greens that would be a big help. Thanks to everyone for the positive comments about the course. I look forward to seeing you swing your clubs.
