new dinner menu insert has been popular with members.<br />
Chef nate has introduced a weekly menu of fabulous<br />
dinner selections offering a fine variety of entrees that<br />
keeps the menu new and fresh each week. this weekly<br />
menu also allows the chef to take advantage of the week’s<br />
promotions on quality products from our vendors, which<br />
combats rising food costs. in this way, the <strong>Club</strong> is able<br />
to offer items such as fine seafood and beef entrées at<br />
reasonable prices during these promotions.<br />
i’m happy to announce that many new members have<br />
joined <strong>Highland</strong> this season! Melissa is doing a fine job<br />
by keeping abreast of marketing opportunities and maintaining<br />
good follow-up and record keeping. We hope to<br />
keep this momentum going! Please take a look at the list<br />
of new members in each newsletter, and reach out to welcome<br />
these new members. We are thankful for all current<br />
members who are referring new members and forwarding<br />
prospective members. Let’s keep the ball rolling!<br />

As the spring rain has finally ended<br />
and summer has arrived, the Fourth<br />
of July weekend kicks off a month of<br />
fun-filled activities. On Friday, we<br />
will get the weekend started with<br />
a ladies 9-hole shamble with the<br />
“Firecracker” Cocktail Party in the<br />
evening. Saturday morning, the men<br />
will compete in a 4-man team point<br />
event with the Ultimate Pig Roast<br />
later that evening at the “night of<br />
Blues”. On Sunday afternoon, the<br />
holiday couples will take place,<br />
followed by an all american BBQ<br />
event in the evening. this will be a<br />
wonderful holiday weekend to gather<br />
the family and enjoy the club.<br />
Following the long holiday weekend,<br />
we will have the second Member<br />

Guest of the month; starting at 2PM on Thursday, July 14.<br />
the Parent-Child will take place on Saturday, July 16, running<br />
with tee-times from late morning through the afternoon.<br />
this event is open to all ages and levels and is a great<br />
way to get your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter,<br />
grandfather, or grandmother involved in a fun event. On<br />
Sunday, July 17, we will crown the Couples’ <strong>Club</strong> Champions<br />
in a Pinehurst alternate shot event. the tdga Jan taylor will<br />
be held on Wednesday, July 20, at 1:30PM, with a dinner<br />

popular, rally for a Cure.<br />
So far, we have had some wonderful events that have taken<br />
place. This year’s Senior club championship gross title was<br />
won by denny Spencer, who shot two solid 72’s for a 144<br />
total. On the net side, dave Smith blistered the course with<br />
a 13 under par performance over two days. Congratulations<br />
to both and all who played over the weekend. In the<br />
ESPN Challenge, Kevin Tackett and George Skaff captured<br />
the net division with a great score of 57 in the 2-man best<br />
ball event, while the gross title was captured by Rick Elrod<br />
and Bill Holtfreter. Both teams advanced to compete in a<br />
regional qualifier in August. In the first Member Guest of<br />
the year, dave Varanese, lyle Vogel, Paul Symington, and<br />
rick Vogel were victorious. to end the month, we had<br />
the always fun Summer solstice, where Jake Holmes, Todd<br />
hawley, Steve Mossing, and dave russell won the best<br />
ball competition. In the Emergency Shoot-out, Joe Belinske,<br />
Steve Welly, trevor Faust and Chuck Winger outlasted<br />
everyone to capture the fun event.<br />
as the spring has gone and summer approaches, the club is<br />
off to a good start considering one of the wettest springs in<br />
history. as we move forward, i would like to thank everyone<br />
for the continued support and look forward to a successful<br />
2011 season. Let us continue to make <strong>Highland</strong> <strong>Meadows</strong><br />

“It’s a sure sign of summer if<br />
the chair gets up when you do”<br />
-Walter Winchell<br />
With July upon us, sticky, hot<br />
weather is right around the<br />
corner. With last year’s record<br />
summer still fresh in our minds,<br />
i thought of several misconceptions<br />
about last summer that<br />
got me some funny looks.<br />
First of all, when you manage<br />
turf at such low mowing heights<br />
DATE CHANGE: 10 MiLE CREEK<br />
Please note the date change for the annual 10 Mile<br />
Creek tournament.<br />
MOvED TO: Friday, August 26<br />
(around an eighth of an inch for greens, and less<br />
than a half inch for tees and fairways) it is important<br />
to recognize that such diminutive plants don’t<br />
stand up well to heat, humidity, and heavy foot/cart<br />
traffic. Often, members will liken the conditions of<br />
the greens to their brown lawns. Fortunately, your<br />
lawns aren’t mowed daily at a fraction of an inch or<br />
have 200 people walking around them in golf spikes<br />
every day. It takes a slew of fertilizers, chemicals,<br />
equipment, and careful attention to keep the playing<br />
surfaces in acceptable shape.<br />
That being said, there will be times during the summer<br />
when certain maintenance practices will be implemented<br />
to alleviate the heavy summer stress on<br />
the small, delicate plants. First of all are everyone’s<br />
favorite – the dreaded yellow ropes. the ropes are<br />
not just for keeping carts out of wet spots, but more<br />
importantly allow us to distribute and move cart and<br />
foot traffic. If yellow ropes are near a green edge,<br />
chances are we are trying to protect a section from<br />
increased foot traffic. Please divert your foot path<br />
around the ropes as much as possible. this spring,<br />
ropes have been necessary to protect the areas<br />
recovering from the spring water/heat damage.<br />
Another practice we may use at times is the skipping<br />
of ‘clean-up’ passes on greens, tees, or fairways. the<br />
‘clean-up’ pass is where the mower cuts the outer<br />

between the green and collar, or fairway/tee and<br />
the rough. Since these areas get mowed and driven<br />
over more than any other areas on the golf course,<br />
we may stay off of them once or twice a week to<br />
keep the turf healthy and reduce the compaction of<br />
the soil. as you have seen in years past, when the<br />
conditions get hot, it’s often the edges of fairways<br />
and greens that struggle first.<br />
Hopefully, Mother Nature will be a little kinder to<br />
us this summer, and we won’t have to do anything<br />
unusual. Just know that your maintenance staff is<br />
always diligent and tries to do what’s best for the<br />
health and long-term playability of your golf course.<br />
If you ever have questions about what’s going on,<br />
please contact me anytime. If such practices are in<br />
use and noticeable, I will be sure to cover them with<br />
photos and information on the maintenance blog.<br />
now throw some sunscreen and bug spray in your<br />
bag and get out there!<br />

T.G.i.F Couples’ <strong>Golf</strong> League:<br />
The Couples’ Friday Night golf season is still<br />
going strong! The first night of TGIF golf was a<br />
fun-filled scramble playing with the theme of<br />
yellow, green, and red. The outfits were colorful<br />
as was the food and drinks! the second<br />
tgiF night was 60’s night. although we only<br />
completed 3 holes of golf because of storms,<br />
it was an entertaining night of 60’s clothes,<br />
food, and camaraderie. We still welcome anyone<br />
interested in playing with Friday night<br />
Couples golf; it isn’t too late to join! We have<br />
many more themed golf nights coming up!<br />
SPeCial nOte: July 29 will be guest Couples’<br />
night – all Couples’ league golfers are encouraged<br />
to invite a guest couple to play with on<br />
that night. if you have any comments or questions,<br />
please email TGIF.2011@yahoo.com.<br />
