Southview Scene - Southview Country Club
VOL. 27, No. 2, May 2015 Southview Scene From the President by Will Steinke Over the past couple years, the majority of the content in this column has focused on our financial results. I plan to keep that focus for the coming year. The Board believes it is extremely important to provide financial information to our Shareholders as we all have a part in making Southview the best golf club in town. A warm welcome to all the new members; we are glad you made Southview your golf “home” and hope you are enjoying your experience.

Our financials are extremely positive We are continuing to invest in both the golf course and the club house to enhance and improve the experience of our members.

If you have not already, I hope you will soon be out on the golf course. Financial Results After finishing last year with positive net income for the first time in over ten years, we are off to an even better start in 2015. In key areas we are not only ahead of budget, we are also ahead of our results from 2014. Here are some key indicators for the First Quarter: ● Golf Dues $17,243 ahead of budget $16,817 ahead of Q1 last year ● Gross Profit before Expense $72,598 ahead of budget $92,726 ahead of Q1 last year ● Net Income $68,656 ahead of budget $46,250 ahead of Q1 last year last year.

Housekeeping Items ● Capital Improvement Funds A detailed summary of our capital expenditures is presented annually at our shareholders meeting. A copy of last years CIP expenditures along with the planned expenditures for 2015 is also available to shareholders upon request. ● Audited Financial Statements At the March finance committee meeting our CPA firm presented us with our audited 2014 financial statements.

I am confident we are doing the right things to allow us to thrive and prosper; thanks for being a part of it! There are many reasons for the success we have seen both this year and last. One of the areas is the improvements to our Banquet business. DeAnna Paulette, Julie Reick and Kaitlin Delaney have ramped up the offering and we are increasingly seeing more success in this area.

Dave will be sorely missed as he was extremely kind, warm and friendly and was a great member of our club. Southview Favorites Poppy Seed Dressing 4 ½ cups Sugar 2 ¼ cups White Vinegar 1 ¾ TBS Coleman’s Dry Mustard 2 ¼ TBS of Kosher Salt Dash of White Pepper Welcome back to another wonderful golf season! With great pleasure I announce that we have come through this past winter with course conditions as good as we could ever hope for. I hope that you have already seen the course with the early start to this golf season. Although it is nearly impossible to come through a winter with the course conditions being 100 percent healthy, we are happy to acccept the conditions given to us this early. With the positive results following the winter conditions, we have not had to put a lot of time into turfgrass renovation. This cooperating spring has kept the maintenance crew extremely busy and has allowed us to get a jump start on many golf course projects. We were able to help complete the snack shack renewal, build mounding around the 4th green, seed and sod multiple bare soil areas, edge bunkers, aerifiy greens, tees and fairways, and simply detail the golf course. Below are some fun photos of the evolution of a different snack shack. The winter grounds crew had a lot of fun removing the old shed. Shown below are just a few of the numerous areas where we have placed sod or have added black soil with seed. All of these areas are marked with either stakes or staked with ropes. Please assist us in these course enhancements by not driving golf carts or pull carts into these marked areas. Take relief during play as “ground under repair” until the stakes are removed. A little TLC and patience will help us to eliminate as many bare soil areas as possible. 8 cups of Canola Oil ¾ cup of Pureed Yellow Onion ¾ cup of Poppy Seeds In a stand mixer, blend sugar and vinegar until the sugar is dissolved. Add salt, mustard, and pepper. Slowly add Canola oil in a steady stream. When dressing has thickened, incorporate onion and poppy seeds. The new view from the tee on hole 2 looking at the pond and landscaped areas is gorgeous and improves daily as the plants and flowers are maturing. 239 E Mendota Rd, W St. Paul, MN 55118 ● P: 651.451.6856 ●Continued www.southviewcc.com on following page 4 Below are photos taken from Hole #2. The Snack Shack project allowed us an opportunity to enhance the appeal of Southview as members and guests enter the parking lot. We have a much nicer tee area on #10 and a lot more space to allow for efficient flow of traffic in this high volume area. Surface paving was recently completed and additional plantings into the mulch area is yet to come. Also, there has been a hand rail ordered for the new stone steps leading up to the tee area. If anyone is uncomfortable using these steps before the rail is installed, please feel free to enter the tee at the front where it is less steep to the cart path. There has been a lot of wildlife activity on the golf course already this spring. We have spotted a couple of owls numerous times on hole 8. The owls fly away from noisy crows and perch themselves in a tree top on the west side of the hole near Anchor bank. Such a beautiful creature to watch!

This April went on record for being one of the windiest in history and we are eager for a more mild May. We couldn’t be happier about showcasing some of our winter/spring projects as well as the condition of the golf course. The snow cover really protected the turf grass and the quality top to bottom is excellent. I want to recognize our maintenance crew for their consistent work in keeping our course in top shape!
