From the Manager

A s the calendar turns to June, one can normally expect

the weather to moderate. Summer weather will allow

us to perform the repeated mowings necessary to

great playing conditions. So far the entire course has been

great shape this season. The greens are fully recovered from

last month’s deep tine aerification and top dressing. This aeri-

fication punches 1/2 inch holes eight inches deep into the

greens to allow improved air and water exchange with the root

system. Air space in the root

zone is critical to plant

health.

We also have seen great

results from the surface drains installed in our bunkers last

year. No longer do we need to spend significant man hours

pumping our bunkers after a rain event.

By now I imagine that most everyone has seen the new tree

nursery between the 10th and the 16th holes. In April we

planted 200 total tree seedlings divided equally between Tulip

Poplar and Red Oak species. In the next few years these trees

will be transplanted on the golf course to replace the rapidly

aging Silver Maples that dominate current tree populations.

We have begun to treat our Ash trees for the Emerald Ash

Borer; however, I expect that a significant amount will be

showing signs of decline and will need to be replaced.

Plans are still in place to add forward tees on holes two,

three and seven this summer. The general wetness so far this

year has prevented us from hauling the material to its place.

Those new tees along with bunker edging are top priority this

month.

Please remember to repair ballmarks, fill or replace divots,

rake your tracks out of the bunkers, and be responsible with

golf cars and push/pull carts.

yard of turf contains over

I hope this reaches everyone in good health and spirits!

Hopefully you had a happy and safe Memorial Day

weekend with your family. It was nice to have a dry four

day weekend for a change.

The month of June brings many events for everyone to en-

joy. Please check the calendar and the website to keep in-

formed on upcoming events. A few events happening in June:

junior golf, couples golf, ladies’ and men’s choose ups. The

very popular Friday night couples golf is every Friday at 5:30

p.m. through Labor Day weekend. Once again this year chef

Jeffrey will be preparing a delicious dinner buffet every week.

Friday, June 6 he will be serving: Pork tenderloin, chicken

quarters, roasted red skins, fresh asparagus, salad and rolls.

The menu for each week will be posted on the club’s home-

page of the website. www.twinlakesgolfclub.com

The golf course staff has done a great job keeping the

course in great shape. Every spring the rough is thick and

healthy. We mow the rough at the height of 2 1/2” all year

long. Please do your part to help the staff out by fixing ball-

marks, replacing divots and using proper cart etiquette.

I would like to welcome all of our new members to Twin

Lakes Golf Club and thank their sponsors for their support.

Please pass along our membership promotion to any potential

new members to ensure they take advantage of a great value.

Remember we are open for lunch Tuesday through Sunday

and for dinner Fridays through the season. As always, please

let me know if I can be of any assistance with anything. I

look forward to seeing you out enjoying your club!

Golf Shop Happenings

M ay was an eventful month for our golf shop.

We were fortunate to have a few really nice

weekends during the month. However our

Mens Guest Day #1 ran into a few weather issues and was

rained out. The Mens 36 hole stroke play event just fin-

ished up this past weekend. Gary Alexander was victori-

ous in the Championship Flight. Other Flight winners

were Dave Cremeans, Tim Lowe, Paul Fouts, John

Metzger, Steve Davis, Mike Sharp, and Joel Rose.

A reminder to get your Old Buddy matches completed

if you haven’t done so already. Our Junior Golf Camp

begins on Wednesday June 25, more details are online.

Twin Lakes is excited to host the IGA Girls Stroke Play

event from June 9th to 11th. Come out and watch some of

the best girl players in the state take on Twin Lakes.
