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 />

July Pro Shop Hours of Operation<br />

SHOP: tuesday-Sunday: 8aM-7PM<br />

RANGE: tuesday-Sunday: 8aM-7PM<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 />

following. For the final event of the month, we will have the<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 />

the place to be in the toledo area.

“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 />

circumference of the area to make a nice, sharp line<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 />
