Voice of the Swan

WOW! This year has flown by and I can't believe it is almost time to ring in 2019. I want to thank all the staff here at the club for their dedication, creativity, hard work and tenacity they have shown in the last year. It has been a

great year full of changes, challenges and too many successes to count. I thank you, the membership and patrons of Swan Point for being a part of this successful year and all the fun that it was. We wish you a Happy Chanukah,

a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Please note all of the dates that we have coming up where reservations would be very helpful:

Course News

Voice of the Swan Dec 2018

October weather conditions continued into November with it being rainy and below average air

temperatures. November rain total for the month was 6.5 inches at Swan Point. The rain now plays

an important role this time of year. With the Bermuda grass going through its dormancy transition

before winter, the plant doesn’t need as much water to help it survive. Unfortunately, that is bad

news for golf play and course work. With this much rain water around it has made it impossible to

clean the course from fall debris, but The Grounds Crew will work continuously to get the course clean

when conditions are favorable.

From December 2018 to March 2019 the Grounds Crew will be working on overall beautification of

the course. Low limbing trees, cutting back grassy areas and cleaning debris areas. The Crew will

start its work on the front nine first, than to the back nine. This time of year, the winter weather

dictate’s what we can do and what type of equipment we can use on the jobs. So, a hard freeze is

the most beneficial when doing low limbing trees, because tree equipment is very aggressive with

tire tracks on the ground.

For the greens going forward in recovery, the weather plays a big role. The temperatures need to

stay around 50 degrees and the low temperatures above 38 degrees or higher. Hopefully the

weather can cooperate for a full recovery before the hard winter sets in. If the weather doesn’t go

as planned a full recovery might not happen until

spring time 2019. The weather channel has Swan

Point at normal to slightly above average

temperatures, hopefully that prediction holds true.

From the Grounds Crew we hope everyone has a

safe and happy holiday and lets make 2019 the

best year.

Pro Shop News

November began with the MGA Player of the Year Finals. In a thrilling horse race, Marcus Goerdt outlasted

Robbie Anderson to become the 2018 MGA player of the year. Congratulations Marcus!

Our Superintendents Revenge was held this month in honor of the late

Tom Grant. 56 brave golfers battle the frigid conditions that day. Our

superintendent Tim Downey and his crew did a great job setting up the

golf course and definitely getting their revenge on golfers. It was a

great day to remember Tom Grant and his wife Carolyn and family were

here to be a part of it. This was Tom’s favorite event and having his

wife and family here that day made it very special for all of us. He was

an employee of Swan Point and always had a big smile on his face that

was contagious. He will be missed dearly. Thank you all that came out

for this special day.

The 2018 Golf awards dinner was held in November with a great turnout

by the MGA , SMGA, and WGA. Awards were presented to all our

tournament champions throughout the year and Erik Koch and DJ Ken

Harvey provided the entertainment for the

evening.

Thank you all who joined us for our Black Friday weekend sale. Sales

continue through December with incredible deals on dozen golf balls. We will

be having our annual Balloon Sale on Thursday December 6th from 5-7. Deals

will range between 20-80% off (excludes golf balls and golf clubs)! The Pro

Shop will also be having a 12 days of Christmas sale that begins on

December 12th. Each day will have its own special sale on merchandise so

don’t miss out!

Golf members please remember to use your credit book money by December

31, because they will expire at the end of the year. Credit book starts with

zero balance January 1, 2019.

On a personal note, I wanted to thank everyone for your support during my

first year at Swan Point and I cannot wait for the 2019 golf season to begin. I wish everyone a happy and

healthy holiday season!

The season of holiday decorations is upon us. Please remember that decorations need to be removed from the exterior of your home within 30 days following the holiday.

The ARC would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.

SWAN POINT ANNUAL TURKEY TROT TO BENEFIT

WAYSIDE FOOD BANK

The results are in from the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving

morning. Almost forty people of all ages appeared by

8:30 to brave temperatures in the thirties and wind chills

in the twenties. There were no strollers this year but we

had six dogs. The best time was 25.5 minutes for the 5 K

course on the back nine of the golf course. Hot

beverages provided by Chef Richard were popular and

donations to the food bank totaled $520. All in all, a

very good day, especially since it poured rain the next

day.

Toby Clark will continue to collect for the Wayside Food

Bank for the next few

weeks. Please consider

donating to this good

cause.

Thank you to all that

helped with decorating

the club house. It is

absolutely beautiful!
