Wrapping Up, Bundling Up

Brrrrr. While golf is done for the season, lots of other stuff keeps us going through the winter. Check out Fred's Course Update below to read what he and his staff will be up to.

Indoors, we're busy preparing for next year's season and hosting Christmas celebrations and other special events. And throughout November and December, we'll be in the Pro Shop, helping you find great gifts at amazing prices for the golfers on your list. If you're planning to come see us, please call ahead to ensure we'll be there to assist you. See Pro Shop hours below.

Our Annual General Meeting is coming up in December. See the message from Rob Steinbach below for full details about the Board of Directors and the upcoming General Meeting. Please plan to attend to find out about and contribute to plans for the 2011 season.

Finally, please review our 2011 Membership details below and on our web site. Take advantage of our early payment discount - valid until January 31, 2011 - to optimize the value you get out of your membership.

I often get asked what we do in the winter.  First and foremost is machine maintenance.  We have an equipment inventory worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.  All equipment gets a complete overhaul.  This includes all filters, oil, bearings, et cetera, plus the sharpening of all reels.

In addition, golf course accessories, including blocks and benches, are refinished or touched up during the winter months. Of course keeping the roadway, parking lot and walkways clear of snow by plowing, blowing and shoveling is an ongoing project.

Over the winter, budgets and plans for the upcoming season are created and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Members of our Greens Crew also attend educational conferences and seminars to stay current on greens maintenance techniques.

We look forward to seeing all of our members and guests next spring and here’s hoping for a short winter.

Thank you,

Fred Schmoelzl, Golf Course Superintendent

Note from the President

The season has come to an end. I hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable year of golf. I have enjoyed my first year as president. It has been an extremely challenging year with the changes in the economy and the golf industry. The future is going to be a challenge with these changes that have occurred.

 

At the club closing I held a draw and was able to play golf with everyone in the event. It was a lot of fun for me as it gave me a chance to meet and talk to the members I already knew and the members I had the chance to meet for the first time. Hopefully my golf game was able to help you out in your round. Hopefully we can try new things in our club events next year.

 

Some of you may have heard in the last couple of months that the board and the men’s night captain are  looking at the possibility of moving men’s night from Monday to Thursday. This decision will not be finalized until the after the new year and the new board is in place after the annual meeting. If you have questions or concerns about this please feel free to email me anytime. I invite you to join us to discuss this and other issues at the annual meeting on Monday December 13, 2010 at 7:00 in the banquet hall.

 

The annual meeting provides an opportunity for club members to contribute to the successful direction of your golf club  by asking any questions you may have, voting for new members to serve on the Board, and especially by letting your name stand in the election for Board of Directors.

 

The Board is made up of twelve (12) volunteers, all with different backgrounds, skills and opinions, who help guide the operations of this facility. Each year six (6) members are elected for a two (2) year term and any member can run for a position on the Board. Board meetings are held once a month. If you would like to put your name forward to stand for election, please talk to any Board member before our Annual General Meeting in December.

 

Members whose term is up this year include:

 

         Randy McCord           Rob Mann                 Larry Barker

         Scott Tolton               Bert McMann            Joel Skelding

 

This is your opportunity to have a say in your club so please stay involved and attend on December 13th. Voting may be done in person or by proxy. If you are interested in running for the board please let Bill Appleby or Tyler Gloor know. Nominations for the board will be done the night of the meeting also.

 

Feel free to forward any questions or concerns to my email at rsteinbach@sjmitchell.ca or contact me at 519-275-7742.

 

Thanks

Rob Steinbach CGA, President
