From the Manager

A s July begins, the golf course is in great condition.

The greens healed quickly from the deep tine aerifi-

cation a few weeks ago, and I am seeing the resulting

flush of new root growth. When we move the holes, we are

seeing new roots at the bottom of the seven inch plug of turf.

That kind of root depth will help the turf survive the upcoming

heat of summer. I will note that the greens could be improved

by our players doing a

better job of repairing

ballmarks. Large cra-

ter-type ballmarks

have been far too com-

mon in the past few

weeks as we have had

wet weather. A properly repaired ballmark will heal in 24

hours. If not done properly, it will persist for weeks. It you

don’t know how to repair a ballmark, please ask Jim or Seth in

the golf shop. They would be happy to demonstrate. There is

also a link to a video that is on the Course Conditions page of

our website. Course conditions are updated daily with any ac-

tivities or maintenance events that might affect the course.

You can find “Course Conditions” under the “Golf Course”

tab.

If we have an extremely hot day, it may be necessary to run

some sprinklers to cool the turf. We will do our best to not

interfere with play.

Please help maintain the course by repairing ballmarks, re-

placing divots if you can or fill with sand when you can’t, rake

the sand after you play, and be responsible with your golf carts,

both riding and push carts. I am seeing a lot of push carts on

tees and collars. Please try to keep them near the paths at the

tees and greens.

DDDDIDIDIDID YOUYOUYOUYOU KNOWKNOWKNOWKNOW: A lightening

bolt travels from the sky toward

the earth at 162,000 MPH. It

I hope this reaches you in good health and spirits. Sum-

mer is officially here; hopefully, dryer weather will pre-

vail in July. Despite all the rain the golf course is in great

shape. Please come out to enjoy your club!

Make sure to check the golf calendar. There are lots of fun

events this month for everyone to enjoy. A few of the events

this month are: Men’s Twin Lakes Derby, Ladies’ Friends

Day; also Junior Golf and Couples Golf continue this month.

If you have not been able to come out on a Friday night for

golf or dinner, please try to experience one. Chef Cliff has

been doing a fantastic job providing food with a flare!

I’d like to welcome all the new members and thank their

sponsors. If you see a new face, please introduce yourself. It

is our goal for everyone to experience a warm welcome to

Twin Lakes. Since we have been fortunate to keep our mem-

bership stable and have a successful membership drive, this

year we have a very minimal dues increase (less than 2%). It

is Twin Lakes’ continued goal to provide its members with an

excellent golf course and club operations at the best value in

the area. I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!

Stroke Play Championship

PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE-The PGA Junior League had

2 matches this past month. They traveled to Golf Club of

Indiana for a hard fought match but came up short 5.5

flags to 6.5 flags. More recently Twin Bridges Golf Club

led by Greg Jones came back to Twin Lakes to try to take

on his old golf club. Twin Lakes ended up taking the vic-

tory 7.5 flags to 4.5 flags with many of our Junior League

golfers sinking 20+ foot putts to secure flags for the team.

Scherer’s made-to-order pasta dish.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF GOLF PSYCHOLOGY STRENGTH

Mental toughness and fortitude on the golf course. Having the

strength to stand up to pressure. A good exercise to help this is

do not give yourself gimme putts. Work on performing under

short pressure and hitting those short putts.

FLEXIBILITY Think creatively and accept things as they come. Don’t complain

about a bad shot or lie, think of a way to make it work. Recon-

sider clubs for different shots an exercise here is to take differ-

ent clubs and hit them around the green to practice different

types of shots (high, low, soft, high spin).

BALANCE Mental balance, do not get too excited, do not get too upset. Take a

count on your thoughts, how many times do you get upset in a

round? How long does it take for you to forget bad shots? The

goal is to get the number to zero.

STAMINA Beware of your own Amen Corner. Somewhere in the round you

will be far enough along to know how you are playing but too

far away from the finish to slip into cruise control. Just like

overtraining a person can overthink. Some people focus so

much on the pre shot routine they forget to execute the shot.
