Happy New Year!
Winter is here with a vengeance. The temperature has settled in the 20's as a high, and has even dropped into the single digits at night. Our staff has been busy working at the maintenance department, cleaning up around the facility, and putting a fresh coat of paint in our offices. We hope to be on the course next week to start some tree work if the weather allows.
Cold weather is a great time to plan for next season and also for education. Mike Barillo and I will be reaching out to members via this blog to reinforce proper cart usage and golf etiquette. Follow the link below to see the Smart Golf Program, which has been updated to our new "single pole" cart traffic system. The video takes about 17 minutes, and is great for new golfers or as a refresher course to long time players of the game.

When the weather does break, please remember to fix your ball marks and fill divots. Before the big "freeze" there were numerous unrepaired ball marks on greens. At this time of year, the turf is not recovering at all. You will be hitting across these ball marks all winter long. It only takes a few seconds, and truly shows courtesy to the players behind you.
It is really exciting to see the Reinvention constructing moving along well. Today the crews were framing and pouring concrete for the Swing Simulator. The construction crews are also working on constructing the new golf proshop next to fitness. This location eliminates the need to walk next to the kitchen loading dock, and allows an easier transition to the 1st and 10th tees. Mike Barillo and his staff are very excited for the upcoming changes and the new pro shop!
