Linda Gietz 11/8/18 - #8 Terry Stephenson - Maintenance We have established our winter grass in the fairways and ask that you drive in the fairways as much as possible. This will help the rough to recover from the two weeks of driving right along the edge of the fairway. We have also started cleaning up the beds as well as trimming the bunker edges and edging the cart paths. We are still spot spraying for weeds as long as the weather stays warm. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Crown & Shield The Crown & Shield Restaurant had a wonderful showing of 143 guests for our Thanksgiving Buffet. Chef Justin and his staff were very busy preparing homemade chicken pot pie soup as a starter, build your own salad station in addition to the hot buffet which included a carving station of Roasted Turkey and Orange Glazed Ham. Of course, there was a table of delicious desserts as well.
