Golf Operations Update

Aug 01

Submitted by Carl Penfold, Head Professional

The month of August signifies that we have officially reached the midway point in the season. The first three months have seen a decrease in rounds played when compared to the last two years. Although rounds are down, it feels as though we have been busier in the pro shop. Sales in the shop have been strong to date and we also have a full event calendar to manage. Speaking of events, next week is our Ladies and Men’s Club Championships. Personally, this is a must attend event on the calendar for all members, regardless of skill level!

Golf Course Update

Golf Course Update August 2022
It is hard to believe but we are now into August, the golf course is holding up well through the summer months. The latter portion of July provided us with some timely rain events but prior to that, our crew had been working hard to manage water throughout the property. Our grounds crew look forward to preparing the golf course for the upcoming Club Championship next week.

We have a few items we will be tackling in the coming weeks; these include:

Continuing to top up bunkers with sand
Planting a tree at 12 green tee
Topdressing our teeing grounds
Finishing the railing for the steps at #7
Surface treating cart paths at 1
Construction of 15 white tee

Happy August Mad River Members! Where has the summer gone? I can't believe we're halfway through the season. So much has happened yet there's so much to come. Club Championships are just around the corner along with the sold-out Divorce Open and the much anticipated charity event for Hospice and then September is filled with much excitement with our Presidents Cup, Madheim Cup and the Hospital Event.

Stephanie Tucker plays in Quebec Tournament

Jul 23

Stephanie Tucker

My heart was so full of joy while I was competing in the tournament at Chateau Bromont in Quebec at the beginning of July. It felt so good to be able to be back doing what I love, and I’m very thankful that I have recovered to this point since the car accident.

This was my first event in over a year because of the accident. I am pleased to report that I am very happy with where my game is at and over the course of the 3 days I shot 81, 75, 74 (par was 73) and I placed Tied for 20th. I played better than I scored and I can see that I have gotten stronger and am hitting the ball farther, as well as striking the ball very solid. However, there were a few holes where I got myself into trouble and took some big numbers. I was +11 for the 54 hole tournament, but was +9 on 3 holes, ending up very solid overall for 51 holes.

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us Chad.
