Request for Member Input

After the damage and removal of the "landmark" tree on #7 last fall, money was approved for the transplanting of two large trees to compensate for the loss. Due to the size and weight of both the trees and equipment required, this needed to be done while the ground was "frozen" to minimize damage to the course. Unfortunately, the timeframes have been missed for this season. We now seek member input and thoughts on how to proceed. Are we content to wait patiently till next year, and stay with the original plan, or do we look at other options?   Please share ideas/thoughts with Tom Mertz, Dan Miner or any Board Member.

Raffle Tickets on sale

Raffle tickets are available to purchase now for the DK Ryder Cup event scheduled for June 7^th. Tickets may be purchased from Ron Reitz, Dean Witmer, Pete Lester, Larry Blaker, Bob Gilroy, April Gunderson or at the clubhouse. Grand prize is a set of Cleveland clubs and bag! This tournament raises money for very worthy causes so we appreciate your support by purchasing raffle tickets.
