Good Morning Members,

June has been amazing weather wise as we have had over 2100 rounds with two days to go.

Congrats to Flight Champions Jim Cyr & Brian Finnigan and Peter Hill & Ryan Shea.

Two important reminders. We are expecting an extreme heat warning for Wednesday thru Saturday. Please hydrate before golf and during your round if you are out in the conditions.


Secondly, Members are to have their entire amount of 2026 dues paid by June 30th tomorrow. I have just reviewed the up to date A/R. Please get your payments made. This pertains to those who chose the 2 payment choice at the beginning of the year. Those on ACH are exempt. The Board is all in agreement that payments of dues must be paid on time. With selection of the 3 day Member Guest field to be made on July 6th, all accounts will be reviewed and on time payment of dues is a requirement to participate.

 Course Maintenance & Grounds Update

From Pat Macari - Grounds Chair

May/JUne


  • Tee Box 4/6 We are working on a plan to redesign and upgrade the existing tee box.  Discussions are underway to determine best scope of work.   Trees behind 6th green have been moved to the dump area on 3 and stumps being ground.


  • We plan to Laser Level the tops and replace the Sod with new turf. Plans are drawn so the BOG can review and decide on new steps.


  • Fill, Grade and Seed the slope from the 9th green to the parking lot, plant 4-6 more arborvitae to help protect the cars parked in the lower lot.


  • Replaced the fence behind the new driving range, we are looking at 8-10 foot tall with a tarp cover to protect golfers on the range from any errant balls from the 8th tee box.  Thank you to member Danny Caroleo for the great work!


  • Bury of the Blue Drain pipe next to the rose bush bed is completed



  • Fairway Aeration pulling plugs and dragging chain fence to breakup plugs (once ground has a dry period).  Adding top dressing to 50 yds from greens.



  • Aeration and over-seeding of grassless dirt areas around the course completed

  • Greens will continue to be rolled and mowed as the turf continues to grow eliminating the exposed sand and creating that great base we now have! Speed will gradually increase over the next few weeks.

  • Research and repair some wet underground areas example: (right side of 7th fairway/rough by last tree)


  • Rough Mowed low land area off 7th Tee Box
