Hello Everyone
It appears the golf gods were playing Peek a Boo with our chances of playing golf last month, but we had a few summer-like days these past two weeks that have been fantastic! It gave us a preview of what our summer days are going to be like on the golf course. Cross our fingers that the rain will finally leave us (or at least be a light sprinkle here and there).
Now that we are in April and the beginning of our Spring/Summer season, our golf rates change out of the winter schedule. A reminder to all members that the same guest can only play 6 times in the year from April thru Oct. This applies to Our social and associate members as well.
Listed below is the current golf rate schedule for the upcoming season along with the posted Dress Code for all members and their guests while using the golf course and practice facilities. Driving Range Hours are listed as well. Reminder that we will perform short picks (1 hour) Monday and Friday afternoons from 4-5pm to keep up with the supply and demand for practicing.

UPCOMING APRIL/MAY GOLF EVENTS
Wednesday April 8 is the start of Master’s Weekend with our Par 3 Challenge at 5:30pm. If you have not signed up, call or stop by the golf shop with your group. Singles will be put together. Both men & women invited. CLICK HERE to go directly to Live Tourney registration page.
Next on the agenda is the “Pick your Pro” weekend competition. April 10, Master’s Friday night, is our silent auction for your professional partner for the weekend. There will be bid sheets for each professional golfer that makes the cut set up in the lobby starting at 5pm. The entry fee for this event is the auction price you pay for your tour player. You can buy as many players as you want. The competition is the tour player’s 2-day score over the weekend combined with your net score from Saturday or Sunday round at Twin Lakes. If you are unable to make the auction on Friday night, you can buy a player the next morning by paying $5 more than the previous bid, provided the player has not teed off for their round at the tournament. Remember, The Masters is played on the east coast so make sure you get the player you want before they tee off. There are no assigned tee times for this event. Make a tee time with someone who is also playing in the competition. Last tee time off #1 tee on Sunday will be 12pm for the competition.
The Men’s League will be starting Wednesday, April 15th and running throughout the summer. $85 is the entry to join the league. Your entry goes toward the “Season End” banquet and the “Winward Cup” payouts. The Men’s Wednesday evening competitions begin at 5:30pm (shotgun) and our Fri/Sat/Sun weekend comps are tee times on your own time (playing with another league member). They format of play varies on types of competitions. There is no prior sign-up necessary during these events. The buy-in for Wednesday and weekend events is $10.
We have the Couples anniversary tournament on April 26th. This is a two-person chapman format for couples. We play this in groups of three couples (six-some), and you can choose the other two couples for your playing partners. The sign-up is available in the pro shop. Included in your $30 entry fee is a Champagne Toast while on the course. The Thursday night Couple’s Mixers and Sunday play days will start up in May.
Men, mark your calendars for the Spring 2 Man, which takes place on May 2nd & 3rd. 18 holes played on Saturday and 27 holes on Sunday. Three different formats will be used for this event. Starting with a Better Ball format on Saturday followed by a Scramble format on Sunday morning and finishing the event with a 9-hole Chapman Sunday afternoon. It’s time to find a partner and sign-up in the pro shop. If you need a partner, contact the golf shop and we will do our best to pair you up.

Plateau Club dates for July are July 8 there and July 22 here. We are still working on an exchange date(s) with Alderbrook in August and will keep you posted. All exchange events will start at 9am.

Our Friends of the Golf Course award, the “Sandy” recognition is starting back up again for the season. This award is presented monthly recognizing those members that have gone above and beyond with the care of the course/facility. This dedication and time go unnoticed most of the time and this program is designed to give back to those that give so much. So, if you see someone spending extra time filling in the divots left behind uncared for or maintaining the golf course/facility in some way, please let Kathy know so that we can get this member the recognition and the “Thank You” that they deserve.
We have new faces among our golf operations staff. We have a new outside staff member on board with us this month. We are excited to have Addie Scheuffele join our Twin Lakes family and what she will be able to contribute to our golf operations.
See you around the club!
Kathy, Ben, Golf Operation Staff
