Golf Course Update

Good morning everyone, we are excited about the golf course officially opening for golf carts very soon. Our hope is sometime next week, in the meantime you are welcome to come out and play and walk or use a pull cart. Duke and crew have been out cleaning off fairways, and many of you will be happy to hear they are out trimming trees so they don’t hang so low. He is still waiting to mow greens our greens are push up and very clayish so they don’t dry out as well as some of the newer courses with sand greens. It is still too soft to mow.
We have a free of charge fitting Taylor Made fitting experience coming up at Prairie View Golf Club, the date is March 17th from 11A-5PM, we have some openings left, I will be doing free putter fittings as well. Please let me know if you are interested in participating as spots are getting booked up.
We have removed the tennis courts and the fencing around them, the electric poles and lights on the east side of the courts will be coming down as well. this was an eyesore for several years. In the process we have sustained some damage to our cart path around the cart barn, please excuse our mess during the process.
While we currently don’t have any plans to do anything with the space we have lots of ideas but nothing imminent or being planned at the moment. Glad the eyesore is gone and it makes a tremendous difference. We will put top soil down and seed very soon.
Zach is in the pro shop now, we will bill for lockers and club/pull cart storage in the month of March so you have 31 days to decide if you are going to keep those services in 2018.
Pro Shop Merchandise will start to trickle in during the months of March and April, new fun stuff everyday.
Looking forward to golf season, and seeing all of you out playing very soon.

Dog days of… winter

It’s February 8th, we are passed the holidays, past the Super Bowl and now its time to look forward to some warm weather…… I don’t know how long that is going to take to get here but we can at least plan for what we want to do when it gets here.  As most of you know and have met we hired a new golf professional, Zach Dryer, thanks to all who came out to the meet and greet last week.  We have been working on plans for the 2018 golf season, including the schedule of events for Men’s/Women’s/Juniors/ PGA Junior League those will be up on the website any day now.  Zach is going to put together Women’s clinics, for the spring which we hope you all will participate in, it will start in March.  We are excited to have a relationship with the Golf School of Indiana at Prairie View Golf Club, if you want to get fit for clubs or putters or just scratch the itch.  Please let us know if you would like to go down and hit some of the newest equipment on the market.  We will have a member-fitting day on Saturday March 17th from 11A-5P.

The golf course got some work late in the fall, Duke was able to re-sod the fairway areas on 9,11 and 13 that were damaged by rainfall, also finished sodding the remainder of the new tee boxes.  Also we have enough fill to fix the bunker, water mess to the right of #18 fairway, that project will be finished sometime by late spring.

Save the date, we are putting together a member trip to Victoria National in Evansville, Indiana for April 5th-7th, we are still working on pricing for the trip and hope to put that together sometime next week.

The interclub tournaments this year will have a new twist, we will do a 4 club interclub tournament.  It will rotate between ACC, Ulen CC in Lebanon, Hillview in Franklin, IN, and Dye’s Walk in Greenwood, IN.  We will host the first event on Wednesday April 25th.   This is on the schedule.  It is also our turn to host the reciprocal interclub tournament which was hosted last year by Kokomo CC,  I am working to get a date for that.

This year in the pro shop we will carry a wide array of products and a few new things.   Hard goods we will focus on Callaway, TaylorMade, and Titleist.  Under Armour, Puma, Fennec, Donald Ross, Antigua, Columbia outerwear, and Adidas will be prominent in the shop.  We also have a few smaller accessory lines that will be new, including Black Clover headwear and CMC custom accessories.  We will carry 3 footwear lines, Adidas, Puma and Ecco.  Ecco is new this season and is a very comfortable shoe, excellent if you like to walk.   Things should start arriving around 3/1/18.

I hope to have more information for you as we get closer to golf season.  Zach is in the shop during the week preparing for the season if you get a chance to stop by please do so.

Stay Warm,

Brian Garrett
