Membership We would like to welcome our new members! Single YP Golf: Brandon Irwin Family YP Golf Jeff & Shanna Mittie Grant & Brooke Robbins Social Membership Chelsea Anderson & Chris Mitek Membership Director Greetings! I would like to thank all of you for your patience these past few weeks while I have been getting up to speed in the office. I am very excited to be a part of the Club team! I look forward to the opportunity to get to know all of our wonderful members and I will do my best to support MCC running smoothly and successfully. For those of you whom I have not yet met, my name is Sarah Boggs and I moved back to Manhattan with my family within the last year. I spent my college years here attending K-State and I love the atmosphere of this dynamic community. My husband is also a K-State graduate and we look forward to raising our two daughters here at "home". Golf is in full-swing here at the Club with the Men's Member Guest having had a successful showing. Congratulations to the gentlemen on defeating The Eagle Bend Golf Course on our own turf and good luck on their goal of winning the Kansas Cup. Don't forget about the Men s Member-Member tournament coming up July 18 th thru the 20th! The rains in June have been trying at times, but it is keeping the course lush and green. The pool has been busy so far this summer with swim lessons and the new water aerobics instructor, Charlotte Braddock, she is doing a great job! The Great MCC Gatsby Party was postponed, but I look forward to that event popping up on the calendar at a later time. We are very excited about the July 3rd Dinner Buffet and Fireworks as well as all of the recreational activities going on that day! July 4th also offers the Poolside Buffet from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Coming up this month we have the Dive-In Movie at the pool, a great family event with Rio 2 on the big screen; and in August the Drive-In Movie on the driving range featuring Caddyshack. The FAC pot continues to grow...remember to join us by 6p.m. sharp for your chance to win! FAC is a great way for potential members to visit the Club and gain information about joining in the fun! Membership is going strong, but we continue to ask for your support to invite friends and colleagues to be a part of the Club experience. If I can help a new recruit by offering a tour or providing membership information, send them my way! I invite all of you to stop by the office with your suggestions, concerns or praise if that be the case. Thank you for your support! Sarah Boggs Office Manager & Membership Director

A Letter from Our Golf Pros Greetings Manhattan Country Club Members! I hope that this message finds you all doing well. We have just completed a successful Men's Member Guest and are looking forward to the rest of the golf events this season. It appears as if the summer heat is here but I'm certain we will still have some nice golf days. The month of July brings a few events that I would like to make you aware of, On Friday, July 4th we will be holding a Flag Day event. For this event, you may make your own group and your own tee time as well. July 18th-20th we will have the Men's Member-Member and on Sunday, July 27th the Ladies Member-Member will be played. Sign-up sheets are in the Golf Shop for both of the Member-Member events. Should you have any questions on these events or would like to sign up, please call the Golf Shop at (785) 539-6221. Thanks for your time and have a great day! Blake Graham PGA Head Professional Summer time is here! So far, our season has gone according to plan. With timely rains in June, the turf is healthy heading into the summer stress. The rough has also been healthy, as we have been trying to keep up with mowing routines, keeping it at a manageable height for play. With that, we have been mowing the rough twice a week weather permitting. We would also like to thank those who helped with the Sand and Seed party on June 10 th. Your help was greatly appreciated! Like most years in Kansas, July is the beginning of the hot, dry season. We will do our best to manage the water output to the best of our ability to continue to provide the best conditions for your golfing enjoyment at Manhattan Country Club. We hope you have enjoyed the golf course this season, and we hope to continue to see you out there! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Mark McKain Golf Course Superintendent
