Dear Members,<br />
You have probably heard about the recent<br />
vandalism that has occurred here at<br />
the club. Based on the guilty party’s<br />
stunning lack of common sense they<br />
basically confessed online via Instagram<br />
and Facebook, (they took video’s and<br />
posted them). Thank you to all the<br />
members that provided me information<br />
and to the Roswell PD for their quick<br />
General Manager Bill Houck<br />
attention and follow up.<br />
We replaced the carpet on the main floor again last week.<br />
Seems like it just a year ago that we put down the other carpet,<br />
and actually it was just last year. We hope you like the new<br />
look.<br />
Trivia night starts next Wednesday. Put together a team and<br />
join us at 7pm. Prizes for first, second and third will be<br />
awarded.<br />
Our golf teaching center opens this month. It will have the<br />
highest technology available and can be used for lessons, swing<br />
analysis and club fittings. The exact opening date will be<br />
broadcast shortly.<br />
You will see some television cameras out here from time to<br />
time this month. We will provide the background for the reality<br />
show.<br />
COURSE MAINTENANCE<br />
Jerry Matthews, CGCS<br />
We are almost through another summer and I am very<br />
proud that the greens have held up as well as they<br />
have. The only green we lost significant turf at all was<br />
on #16 and that was due to an irrigation system malfunction.<br />
The cool August we had certainly was a big<br />
help and relief, but there were three other factors that<br />
made this summer much less stressful than previous ones.<br />
One was the moisture meter that I wrote about earlier.<br />
It really helped us quantify the amount of water to put<br />
on the greens and control the soil moisture. Two was the<br />
fans. The five greens that had fans are much healthier,<br />
even though they always were previously five of the<br />
most stressed greens. Hopefully we will be able to add<br />

<strong>Brookfield</strong> CC or Buckhead CC or anything CC will not be mentioned<br />
in the series. We will simply be “the club”. So, basically<br />
we are one big set for taping.<br />
We considered going to Bermuda greens next year and had a gentleman<br />
who has done a number of shade studies look at our<br />
course to see if we could make that change. The answer is no.<br />
We would have to remove lots of trees as the Bermuda greens<br />
must have lots of sunlight. So, our plan is to stay with bent grass<br />
and expand our fan program over the winter and spring and install<br />
more of them.<br />
Raise a Racquet, the tennis blow- out of the year was held last<br />
weekend. Wow, what a party! Thanks to all of our fantastic<br />
members and staff that helped pull this off again for Cystic Fibrosis.<br />
I had said that we would be replacing the tennis steps this week,<br />
but we will be delaying that awhile. And, the tennis food program<br />
will remain as it has in the past with increased pricing. So,<br />
no worries, no need to go to Publix, we got it.<br />
We have had a great year so far at the club and I want to thank all<br />
of our great members for making it possible. Much appreciated.<br />
more fans for next year. And thirdly, our maintenance<br />
team did the best job yet this year in wilt watching<br />
greens and always being there to apply water just as<br />
needed. It is not an easy job and there is no room for<br />
error or becoming complacent, and we should all be<br />
thankful to have such dedication from our staff.<br />
We will be doing our fall aerification of greens on <strong>September</strong><br />
17 th. This will be a relatively minor one and<br />
should not affect putting for long at all. It will help the<br />
bentgrass to recover from summer stresses, and begin<br />
rooting to prepare for another year. I am excited that<br />
we will not have to go through major recovery on the<br />
greens this year, and will be able to get them in great<br />
fall condition earlier than normal. With several major<br />
tournament events coming, I hope the course will be in its<br />
best condition yet.

ON THE GREENS<br />
The golf course is coming out of the summer months<br />
looking great, although we do need some help. Neglecting<br />
or improperly fixing balls marks on the<br />
greens has long term effects on the look and the<br />
healthiness of the grass. We ask for your continued<br />
support in fixing balls marks on the greens and divots<br />
in the fairways.<br />
It won’t be long now, if you are looking for new<br />
clubs or want to see if your old ones still fit your<br />
swing; the Golf Academy will be the place to do it.<br />
Computerized lessons will be available along with<br />
fitting sessions. Pricing and details will be made<br />
available in the golf shop.<br />
A reminder to all members that keep a locker at the<br />
club. Please make sure your locker is locked if you<br />
have valuables being stored. Our locker room attendant<br />
is not able to monitor belongings if lockers<br />
are left unlocked.<br />
