Junior Golf has begun with three different age groups and times. Please check out

www.twinlakesgolfclub.com for schedules and lessons. Not only do the kids learn

golf skills, they also are taught golf etiquette. This is evidenced by the many Juniors

who come in the clubhouse after their lessons. We have some very nice Juniors!

From the Manager

A s July starts, it is a good time to consider what a dif-

ference in weather we have experienced this golf sea-

son as opposed to last year. By this time last season

our rough was completely dormant, and water supplies were

strained. The cooler temperatures and increased moisture this

year in combination with a sound agronomic program has re-

sulted in great playing con-

ditions.

Last month we were able

to make good progress in a

lot of cosmetic areas. Sod

was laid along the cart paths

at #1 tee and #9 green. We

also sodded along cart paths

at #12 and #18 greens. Sig-

nificant areas of rough were also sodded on the fourth and 13th

holes. Progress was also made in an ongoing project to level

and raise irrigation heads along with existing valve boxes. This

will improve our irrigation efficiency.

This month we plan to resume verticutting of greens when

the weather will allow. Also in the plans are aerification of

collars, tees and fairways. None of this would be possible

without the help of a great crew. My assistant and equipment

technician, Ron Summitt, is now in his second season, and

Foreman Josh Blazier is in his tenth. These two people bring a

lot of experience to the club.

Please remember to repair ballmarks, replace or fill divots,

rake bunkers and be careful with golf car operation.

DDDDIDIDIDID YOUYOUYOUYOU KNOWKNOWKNOWKNOW: In a thick,

healthy lawn there are six

turfgrass plants in each

John Westermeier, CGCS

I hope this reaches you in good health and spirits. Sum-

mer is officially here; hopefully it will be a milder sum-

mer for a change. The weather this season has been very

inconsistent; we have not had many good weekends to enjoy

golf. I am sure we will have lots of nice golf weather to enjoy

this summer. The golf course is in great shape. Please come

out to enjoy it!

Make sure to check the golf calendar. There are a lot of

fun events this month for everyone to enjoy. A few of the

events this month are: Men’s Member/Member, Ladies Stee-

plechase, Ladies Friends Day and Couples Guest Day. Also

Junior Golf and Couples Golf continue this month. If you

have not been able to come out on a Friday night for golf or

dinner, please try to experience one. Chef Jeffrey always has

a delicious meal, and there is always lots of fun being had by

all.

The week after July 4th construction on replacing the roofs

on all three buildings will start. We will do our best to keep

this to as little of an inconvenience as possible, but it will be a

little noisy around the clubhouse. After the roofs are com-

pleted the exterior of the clubhouse will be painted and the

awning on the back veranda will be replaced. Neither of these

projects will impact you from using the clubhouse or golf

course. It will look great when everything is completed!

I would like to welcome all the new members and thank

their sponsors. If you see a new face, please introduce your-

self. It is our goal for everyone to experience a warm wel-

come to Twin Lakes. Since we have been fortunate to keep

our membership stable and have a successful membership

drive, this year we have a very minimal dues increase (less

than 2%). It is Twin Lake’s continued goal to provide its

members with an excellent golf course and club operations at

the best value in the area. I wish everyone a happy and safe

4th of July!
