A New Year & New Beginning January
2010 Dear
LVGC Member, Happy
New Year to all of our Lincoln Valley Members of 2009 and we are looking
forward to an exciting new year in 2010.
I’m excited to tell you about some changes that have taken place at
Lincoln Valley Golf Course. In the
past there have been doubts and concerns as to whether or not our course
could survive; rest assured it will.
We have had some major capital infusions that have helped to retire
the debt load that has been lurking over our heads for many years. However,
we still need your support to get to the point we need to be at as a
business. We, as a board, want to
build a financial cushion that every business needs to survive. Please keep the pledges and donations
coming as they are going to be earmarked for maintenance projects such as
finishing the siding, heating and cooling upgrades, or any other major surprises
that may occur. Another
major happening is the hiring of a new business/clubhouse manager, Kristina
Tickle. Kristina is playing a key
role in tracking the finances so that we can enjoy a profitable course. Stop out and see her during our new winter
hours from 2pm-6pm, Tuesday through
Saturday. Also,
we have adjusted the dues as you will see in the 2010 dues form. We are asking every member to try and bring
a new member along. If this strategy
doesn’t work we will have to use a different approach to maintain cash flow
and we know what that means, HIGHER DUES!!!
We are asking for and need
community support to keep this course on the right track. Mark
your calendars for a “Pay your Dues” party on January
16, 2010 starting at 7:00pm. Kristina will
be having a beer sale sponsored by Coors Lite. Come out and have some fun, meet new people
and see old friends and get the early pay rate on the 2010 golf season. Sincerely,
Justin
Edler, President LVGC Notes of

Valley. A Word from Your
Superintendent, Dustin Eggers It has been
challenging to get the golf season going this year. A long, harsh winter
followed by the cool wet spring has made it a slow process. Hopefully the
weather will start cooperating soon. The course has its
ups and downs after the winter. The greens held up reasonably well and should
get better with warmer temperatures. Some tee boxes did not make it however.
The dead grass on many them is perennial rye-grass. Perennial ryegrass does
not survive well under prolonged conditions of extreme cold, wind, snow, and
ice cover. Decisions will have to be made on how to bring them back into
playing condition as quickly as possible. Fairways and roughs have good and
bad areas as well. We need to improve drainage in some areas, seed other
areas, and minimize cart traffic as much as possible for optimum results. It
is simply going to require some time and patience for the course to recover
from this past winter. As a reminder,
please keep golf carts on paths around greens and tees and follow the 90
degree rule in the fairway as much as possible. The course has a lot of wet
areas and this will help to minimize traffic damage. Also, there has been a
lot of volunteer work at the course this spring. Thank you to everyone for
your efforts. It is greatly appreciated. New Policies for
2010
