Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rain, rain go away!  This may be wishful thinking, but we are getting much more rain than I am used to, compared to the drought stricken Southwest part of the United States.  I must say, I do like the temperatures better than the near 120 degrees they are getting in my former home of Scottsdale, Arizona.

The weather is not so hot for our junior golfers we have coming out to learn and improve their games.  I will be teaching another junior golf camp July 16 – 19, where the kids will be learning about all parts of the game of golf, culminating with playing our beautiful course on Friday the 19^th.  

On July fourth, we had a Flag Tournament, which is an individual competition and the members made their own groups, as well as tee times.  

We will have a British Open Player Pick on Saturday the 20^th where the member adds their net score to a player of their choosing from the British Open field.

Be aware, we are going to continue changing the profile of the soil of our greens with another deep tine aerification and heavy topdressing throughout the summer.

We are going to begin a program to NOT provide cups, lids, and straws at the clubhouse water station.  When a member purchases a Tervis Tumbler with the Osprey Cove logo, they will get .25 cents off when purchasing a soft drink/ iced tea until the end of this year.  Cups, lids, and straws will no longer be available starting September 1^st from the main water station.

New score cards are on order with the new course ratings, and new hole by hole handicap allocations.

The staff is very excited about the River Club re-opening on Saturday the 6^th where a lot of time, effort, and money has been put forward in the renovation.  Lots of fun and exciting happenings around The Club!

Enjoy the summer weather and remember, at least its not 118 degrees!
