Message from the Manager

Last year at this time, it was a struggle to keep the golf course watered sufficiently so that the greens could continue to live up to their name. This year has been dramatically different in that regard, with ample waterfall to keep the course lush and soft, sometimes too much so, for those who count on a little bounce and roll to maximize their distance. See Fred's note below for more on this subject.

I am pleased to announce that the Virtual Course Tour on our web site has been completed with slideshows containing new pictures of each hole. I invite you to take a few minutes to review it and welcome your feedback.

Finally, I just wanted to remind you that the Schedule of Events is updated constantly, and tournament times and dates are subject to change. Be sure to check back often for upcoming tournament details and tee closings. Once complete, you can also visit our site for results and pictures.

Have a great month of August!

Sincerely,

Tim Ertel, Manager

What a difference a year makes. Last summer we went 70 days without rain and this year we are above average in rainfall total resulting in a lush, green golf course. The mowers are working overtime to keep up to the grass cutting.

The only downfall to this is the wet course conditions. It is imperative that when the course is wet that all power carts follow all cart signs and stay on paths where provided. Also, even little chip shots produce ball marks. Please fix all ball marks. This results in better playing conditions for everyone. Please see the following link which demonstrates how to properly repair a ball mark.

This late August we will be bringing in the large tree spade for three days. We hope to move approximately fifty trees which will make a definite difference on the back nine.

Enjoy the rest of the golfing season.

Thanks,

Fred Schmoelzl, Golf Course Superintendent

It’s hard to believe that the season is almost half over, but it is. For those of you who are playing in the closing, please make sure that you enter some of your scores. We are hoping to use handicaps for some of the games. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

 

Also as many of you know, Theresa Corman is stepping down as Golf Captain at the end of this season. If there is someone you would like to nominate for this position, please approach one of the executive and we will contact that person to see if they will be willing to stand for the position. If more than one person is willing then we will take it to a vote of the membership.

 

We are hoping to have the Ironwood Ladies here for a 9-hole scramble on August 26th at 5:30 p.m. If you are planning to participate the deadline for the entry fee of $10 for members and $20 for non-members is Friday August 15th. If there is any change it will be announced Tuesday August 5th.

 

Good luck to all of our participants in the Ladies Scramble on August 6th.

 

Your Ladies' Captain,
Theresa Corman

The Score

A golfer comes home from playing golf and doesn't say a word. He just plops down in his favorite chair and sits there sulking.

"OK, How bad was it?" his wife asked.

"How bad?" he said. "I'll tell you how bad. I played so badly that when I went to post my score into the computer, the only thing that came up on the screen was...'You shot what?!!!"
