GOLF EVENTS LOOMING ON THE HORIZON
We're looking to get the year started off with a bang - a
bestball bang! We'll be having our inaugural Spring Invitational
Bestball on Saturday, March 30th, and the goal is to get
members, their friends, or any other golfers out on the course
to kick off the season. Entry forms are available in The Golf
Shop, and the event is open to amateurs or professionals, club
members or invited guests - see us if you have any questions.
We've also decided to change things up a bit and have our
course cleanup day on Monday, April 1st, which will be the
same day we've scheduled our spring greens aerification. Our
March cleanup dates have been unsuccessful the past few
years, so we'll try this and have a morning of staff working on

course BEFORE it hosts a U.S. Open? See me if you have
questions, and look in The Golf Shop or on the club website to
sign up.
BURIED IN THE LIP!
Some serious changes in the weather the past few
weeks. We've gone from snow and ice to downright dusty as
the course emerges from our December snowfall. As of the last
week of January, the course remains closed; however, check
with the Frostline (541.385.1973) to see if we can open on
temporary greens at any point. The driving range will be open
during regular hours in The Golf Shop; you just have to hit off
mats for the next several weeks. A reminder that The Golf
Shop is open from 9-4 on Wednesday through Sunday, and will
open on a Tuesday IF THE GOLF COURSE IS OPEN FOR
PLAY. Again, check the Frostline for updates.
IT'S ALL GOING TO BE NEW TO YOU!
I'm waiting to hear the buzz from the 2013 PGA
Merchandise Show, and it will be interesting to hear about the
newest in clubs, golf shoes, apparel, golf balls, and several
additional categories in the golf marketplace. Right now, I'm
most intrigued by the new Nike Covert driver and fairway
woods, the Taylor Made R1 and Stage 2 RBZ, and new irons
from Callaway. Other ideas from Cobra, Ping, Titleist, FootJoy,
adidas, and Ashworth will be also targeting your golf
game. Due to our winter season, many products don't arrive in
Central Oregon until March and April; however, if you would
like me to get you dialed in, or even just discuss the myriad of
options out there, please feel free to see me. I'm happy to ask
you several questions about your game, and how new products
can give you an advantage.
Along those lines, remember that the player and equipment
must always meet halfway to get to lower scores. It's never too
early to think about scheduling a lesson with myself or any
member of our PGA Professional staff. If our weather
continues to be above-par, please give us a call and we'd be
happy to arrange a time so that you can get a jump on your
peers. Also, my staff and I will be developing some new player
initiatives for the spring - keep your eyes open for information
to be posted online or in The Golf Shop.

If you’re missing a swim suit, jacket or workout wear, it

We have several items waiting to be
claimed. So, stop by and check to see
if your missing item is there.
TURF TALK—
The golf course remains closed due to the ice and snow
remaining on holes 2,3,5,7,8,10,12 and 15. We have a few
areas that have a couple inches of ice on the fairways,
however, the greens are pretty much clear and looking very
good. We have replaced the old pressure tank at our pump
station that was causing problems and we are waiting for a
frozen water pipe to our maintenance shop to thaw out. My
mechanic is going through all of our equipment and replacing
worn parts and sharpening mower reels, while the rest of the
crew is working on painting ball washers, sanding and
staining benches and rake handles, snow removal, and tree
trimming.
We will continue to monitor the golf course daily and
update Erik in The Golf Shop. We will get the golf course
open as soon as possible so you can get ready for the
season ahead. Hope you all had a great holiday season and
look forward to seeing all of you soon.
