Congratulations to our very
own member and current Twin
Lakes Ladies Club Champ,
Nina Whalen, who recently
won the WGAMI Tournament
(Women’s Golf Association of
Metropolitan Indianapolis).
Here she is holding the tro-
phy, which has her name on it
as winner twice ! The trophy
was first named The Indian-
apolis News Trophy for the
winner of this tournament. It
has had winners’ names on it
ever since.
This Indianapolis Women’s
City Tournament has a rich
history, and this trophy was
given to the first winner in
1922 when women of the city
organized the tournament for
women golfers all over the city
and surrounding counties.

From the Manager
A s the month of August begins, the golf course is doing
well. A combination of excess moisture and high humid-
ity heat in late June through early July thinned some areas
inour fairwasy. Fortunately some better weather, along with an
aerification and some fertilizer have mostly returned the turf.
Our fairways should continue to thicken and fill in as mid
Aufust weather normally moderates. I am sure there will be
more aerification soon and we will still seed any remaining thin
areas as we pass the middle of the month.
Our greens
have stayed in
great condition
all year and con-
tinue to roll
smooth and true.
As temperatures
cool we will be
doing some verti-
cal mowing and
brushing of the greens to further improve ball roll. A few areas
on some of our collars had a bad reaction to an application of
herbicide and thinned. These areas are also recovering slowly.
We have scheduled our next cart path paving project for
August 13, weather permitting. We plan to pave the area be-
ginning by the tees on Hole #8 where we left off last year and
continue to where we repaved the path on Hole #9 several
years ago. This will substantially complete the repaving of our
front nine holes.
Please remember to replace or fill your divots, repair your
ballmarks (If you don’t know how to properly repair your ball-
mark, there is a video link on the course condition tab on our
website.), rake bunkers, and be responsible with your golf cars
and carts.
DDDDIDIDIDID YOUYOUYOUYOU KNOWKNOWKNOWKNOW: An area of turf 50
feet by 50 feet will provide
enough oxygen for a family of
four. An acre of turf will provide
enough oxygen for 64 people per
day. Twin Lakes provides
enough oxygen for over 7,000
people a day with turf alone. Our
trees add even more..

I hope this article reaches you in good health and spirits.
July was a hot month with little precipitation. Some of the
fairways suffered, but we have begun treatment on those areas.
Overall, the golf course in great shape. I hope you are enjoy-
ing your course!
I greatly appreciate everyone’s patience with the weather
we have endured this summer. I do not remember a summer
being so hot and starting so early! There were a few fairways
that got damaged do to standing water, sun and humidity. We
will be getting these places back in great shape. Over the past
few weeks, I have been able to either play or look at several
courses around the area. I am happy to report that Twin Lakes
is in better shape than most! The maintenance staff has done a
terrific job in keeping the course in great condition. If you see
the maintenance staff, please thank them for all their hard
work.
We will be repaving the cart path on hole numbers 8 and 9
in the coming weeks. We will try to do this on a Monday, Au-
gust 13 to make it as little of an inconvenience as possible. It
is our continued plan to do this every year.
Please remember that Friday night golf social events con-
tinue through August. Golf begins at 5:30 p.m. with a shotgun
start. If you do not want to golf, please come out for dinner
and drinks. Chef Cliff always has delicious buffet on Fridays
for you to enjoy. Please check the home page of our website:
www.twinlakesgolfclub.com to view the weekly buffet menu.
There are many events in the next few months to enjoy.
Please check your golf schedule or with the golf shop for dates
and formats. I greatly appreciate everyone’s continued sup-
port of their club and look forward to seeing you out enjoying
your club. It is always our goal to keep improving the club to
better your enjoyment while keeping it a great value. I wish
everyone a happy and healthy August.

Twin Lakes Beautification 2 Campaign
Wednesday, August 15 @ 5pm
Golf Shop News July has been a pretty calm month as far as our tourna-
ment play goes, but 2 of our biggest tournaments have been
this past July. We had the Twin Lakes Derby on the 14th and
15th and then the Men’s Club Champion started the final
weekend of July.
We also had our first ever Course Beautification day this
past month as well. I can’t express how happy we all are at
the effort and turnout from the members. The weather didn’t
want to cooperate with us very well but that didn’t stop all of
you from showing up! We were able to get anyone that
showed up early started on the course before the rain came
and you all got quite a bit done before the rain hit. We were
expecting only 20 or so people to sign up and instead we had
50+ people sign up! Continue to do the great work you all do
in repairing ball marks and divots and keep the course in fan-
tastic shape!
