Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of April 5th thru April 10th
April Aerification;
We are into our first full week of April and it looks as if the temperature is starting to cooperate. We live in a wind tunnel but at least we are starting to see the 70’s and 80’s and i’m not talking about the way that i dress. This is the time of the year that we call transition. Our cool season grass is growing and our dormant warm season grass is starting to come out of it’s hibernation. Jesus and the gang are starting to bail hay out there. This is also the time that we encourage our poa greens to grow their roots. We will lose the health of the plant over the summer so now is the time that we really have to get it healthy as poa annua is a cool season grass. We will be aerifying this week. Tuesday we will be closed on the back nine while we aerify. Wednesday the front nine will be closed while we aerify. Aerification opens up the green canopy and the ground surface. We put sand down into holes anywhere from 3 to 5 inches deep. This sand softens the profile and encourages root grown by getting water deeper into the green profile. All this will be in my book, “How to make your Members fall asleep at work.”
Member Junior;
Our Member Junior was held Saturday over 9 holes. Thank you to everybody that showed up for the day and to Jill for organizing everything. Our Net Champions are Dave and Ashley Mayhall. Our Gross Champions are Dave and Danny DiMaria. The future of Valencia Country Club golf sure looks promising.
Men’s Club Championship;
Sign ups for the Men’s Club Championship are up in the locker room. As there has been in the past, we have 2 flights. We will have the overall Gross Champion and the Net Champion. The Gross Championship will be competed over 3 days, Friday thru Sunday. The Net Championship will be competed Saturday and Sunday. The Club Championship will be April 29th, 30th and May 1st. Please call the Shop if you want to sign up and can’t get by the Club.
Spring Member Trip;
Matthew and I are putting together a spring trip to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Courses in Alabama. We are looking at setting this up in mid to late May. We are doing some final touches, but should have everything finished by the end of this week. Please call the shop or talk to us if you are interested in joining us. We are looking to bring 14 Members on this event.
Spring Swing School;
Marvin will be continuing his Saturday Swing School this weekend. This weekend will be focused on chipping. The program runs from 2:00 to 3:00. Please call the shop if you are interested in participating or just show up. One of the unique things that we are doing with our programs here is that we offer a free review the following week in order to reinforce the things we are working on. Don’t miss out on the foundation of the short game, chipping.
Weekday Junior Programs;
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we have programs scheduled for the Valencia Country Club Juniors. Tuesday is for the age groups 4-7, Wednesday is for age groups 8-12 and Thursday is for those children that are ready to get out on the golf course with the Pros. All of these programs are great opportunities for the Juniors to get to know each other and build friendships for life.
