Perfect greens

Jean Davy
COURSE AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE, CHAIR

“This golf course is in great shape with perfect greens,” said Sandra Angulo who tied for second place in the
DCM PGA Women’s Championship of Canada held at our club in early July.

This is just one of many positive comments received by the players who play at many clubs throughout North
America. They loved the course, the staff and the Members. So aren’t we the lucky ones? We get to enjoy it all
everyday!

Let’s all continue to maintain the course in top shape by:
• Keeping riding carts on the paths near the tee boxes and greens. They should not be operated within
30 yards of the greens;
• Keeping riding carts away from soft spots and newly constructed areas;
• Keeping push carts away from the greens and from in-between the greens and bunkers;
• Repairing all divot marks on the green, whether you made them or not;
• Carefully raking and smoothing over all bunker footprints and holes; and
• Depositing of all garbage in the bins provided around the course.

In answer to a recent question, yes the club does recycle. Each day, a member of the maintenance staff goes
through the course garbage and sorts it into residual garbage and recyclables. We are looking at identifying bins
as garbage versus recycling. Stay tuned for more on this.

Keep those questions coming. You can send in a comment by going to Suggestions under Member Home on
your Home page of the LCGT website. We’ll get back to you with answers and print as many as possible in this
column.
