GREETINGS

We hope this newsletter finds everyone in good health and your golf scores are low as we head into the summer golf season.

New arrivals –

New apparel for men and ladies! Sleeveless shirts and coordinated ensembles are available for the ladies. Shorts and straw hats for the men are on the way. Don’t miss out – shop early as the new styles have been moving quickly.

Our 20^th anniversary celebration keeps on giving!

The drawing in June is for a pair of sunglasses (one pair for the ladies and one pair for the men). Don’t forget to fill out a raffle ticket. At the check-in counter every time you come in to play golf. The winners will be selected on June 30^th.

Just a reminder – If you have not yet received your Wyboo Golf Club anniversary ballmarker, please pick it up at the front counter in the pro shop. This is just one of the ways we wish to show our appreciation to our members for their continued support of the course over the years.

Superintendent News:

Verticutting and spraying to prepare the greens has been completed. The greens are going to be aerified on June 18^th.

We realize aeration can create short-lived disruption, but it is a highly beneficial program. Aeration is performed for the long-term health of the course. The greens may not play their best immediately following some aerification treatments, but everyone is playing the same conditions and golfers can still enjoy the game and make plenty of putts. After all, Tom Watson once shot a 58 when playing Kanas City Country Club just a few days after the greens had been aerified!

Rick Peters,

Golf Course Superintendent
