4 FOOD & BEVERAGE James Crocitto Director of Food & Beverage I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone about an event on the horizon that will surely place Turtle Point Yacht and Country Club in the community limelight. The event I am speaking of is Gourmets on the Greens sponsored by Shoal s Scholar Dollars.

This event is very limited (just 80 golfers and 30 tennis players). Sign up is easy by going to the Shoals Scholar Dollars website, shoalsscholardollars.com. This event will surely become a grand tradition, and your participation will certainly help the deserving young students we have here in the Shoals.

We have confirmed that Ann-Taylor from International Wines and Kara from Rush Wines will be on hand with over 40 different wines for you to experience along with Chef Mark s indulgent appetizer spread.

Thank you all for your support. I hope to see you soon and often. Have a great Summer! As a c ourte to all, sy pleas remem e to put ber y cell ph our on on sil es ent when in dinin g area s. SUPERINTENDENT S REPORT It s hard to believe that summer is almost over and fall is on its way. The golf course is doing great and completely healed from the harsh winter that we had, and we will be starting to work on replacing broken cart paths as soon as we are able. Along with cart path work we also plan on replacing the rest area at #12. The new design will be a much more user friendly design that will provide shelter from storms as well as one stop shop for refreshments. Glen Junkin, GCS Golf Course Superintendent On other items of interest, September is the month that we overseed the driving range tee and our fescue areas. This year the driving range really suffered from the overseeding and the harsh winter. This is something that is to be expected from time to time when you overseed. Overseeding can really have a harsh effect on the bermudagrass transition if it is coupled with a harsh winter like the one that we had this year. This year the ryegrass died around the first week of June because we had about 10 days of rain in a row, and the tee stayed saturated. The ryegrass died much earlier than we would have liked. However, when we decided to start overseeding the driving range we knew these things could happen, but we felt that it was worth the risk to have a surface to hit off of during the winter in addition to the mats. When we made this decision we expanded the tee by 35%, filling in all of the swales in front of the tee and the one that was on the right side allowing us to have more teeing space. By doing this the tee doesn t drain as well as it did before if we have large amounts of rain. We are looking at the cartpath issue on #6. Last year we let carts out on #6, and this spring we had a lot of winter kill on that hole so we went back to cartpath only until the grass had completely healed. Now everything is healed in nicely, and we will once again allow 90 degree on #6.
