BIRDIES & BACKHANDS

FEBRUARY 2016

I’m sure you all are just as excited as we are for reinvention

to begin! We are in the final, final, final stages of the waiting game

and we are breaking ground soon. With that being said we have a

packed calendar of fun programming and events to get excited

over. As they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun!”

February is filled with fun events for everyone to enjoy. Adults

make sure you make a reservation for our Valenwine dinner on

Saturday, February 13. Dine in an elegant ambiance of warm

candlelight while celebrating your loved one.

Couples will enjoy a four course meal designed exclusively by

Chef Adrian for this event. Each course is paired with a glass of

wine carefully selected to complement each dish.

Valenwine dinner is $59.95++ per person and starts at 7 p.m.

The O.N.E. discount does not apply for this event. If you are

interested in coming for Valenwine dinner be sure to make your

required reservations well in advance. We book up fast for this

event because seating is limited to keep the evening intimate.

Join us on Valentine’s Day morning for a brunch sweet enough for

the whole family. Just like a regular Sunday, brunch will begin at 11

a.m. and go until 2 p.m. You can expect to see many

valentine themed items on the Chef’s table that is fun for the en-

tire family! Remember kids also eat free on Sunday with

purchase of adult entrée.

Keep coming out on Friday nights for dinner. Every Friday we have

live music in the Player’s Club from 6 – 9 p.m. Enjoy music from

both new and returning musicians.

Starting this month we will be open for dinner on Saturdays!

We will be taking reservations for Saturday night and walk-ins are

always welcome. Join us for dinner the last Saturday of each

month for family game night dinner. Same dinner programming but

if you have a love for games this night is for you! Make sure you

make plan to be here on Saturday, February 27 for the

ultimate Scattegories showdown. Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m.

and Scattegories will begin at 6:30 p.m. Please call the front desk

for reservations.

As always, if you have any questions, feedback or if there is any

way I can help enhance your experiences at Brookfield please

don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I am here and happy to help.

ON THE GREENS

ON THE GREENS WITH

TIM CRANDALL

The winter season is upon us and the weather plays an

important role in the condition of the golf course as well as the

timing we can play. Frost delays can occur and cart path only

days will be a little more prevalent. The maintenance staff does

a great job getting everything ready for play so please obey the

cart rules to help avoid any disruption to the health of the

course. Watch for those text messages in an effort to alert you

of start times and course conditions.

A reminder that handicap renewal will take place on March 1.

Please notify us by the end of February to avoid being charged

the handicap fee. This billing is done electronically and bills

everyone that is active in the handicap system as of

March 1, 2016.

Don’t forget to sign up for the 2016 Cocktail Tough Day

Classic. This event is a scramble format with a shotgun starting

at 9:30 a.m. on February 27. Lunch will immediately follow the

round. Join us and test your skill and accuracy against this

grueling course setup. You can pick your own team or you can

let us know if you are looking for a partner and we will pair

you up. Don’t miss out on this action packed revenge filled

scramble.

Eligibility: 4 person teams consisting of members with

current USGA handicap index. Teams can be composed of

both Men and Women.

Format: Teams will play a scramble format against the crazy

golf course setup

Prizes: Prizes awarded for top net teams and gross teams

Cost: $45.00 per + cart fees includes Pre-event Bloody

Marys, Lunch, Prizes with Beer to follow

Deadline: Sign up by Thursday February 25 - 3 p.m.

PERFORMANCE CENTER

Golf packages available for private lessons for Juniors, Ladies

and Men. We have 5, 10 and 15 hour packages or we can

customize a package for you. Inquire with the golf shop or stop

by the Performance Center for more information.

COURSE MAINTENANCE

Due to the rain and other inclement weather conditions, the

contractors progress on removing the sand and bunker liner

has been moving quickly. Ideally I would have liked to try to

get 3-4 holes done at one time, but the spraying of the poly-

mer and the new gravel and sand installation has been slow.

The weather conditions for the polymer need to be basically

dry and dew free in the morning. There is usually a 24 hour

turn around after a rain event in which you cannot spray typi-

cally. Although some bunkers to date have been sprayed al-

ready, there are still some on the front 9 that have been

cleaned out that require the gravel and polymer. We are mak-

ing a lot of progress in one phase and I hope the others catch

up quickly. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Pre-emerge applications will be made towards the end of

January and beginning of February. The specific product that

we are using will need to be watered in, so if you see some

sprinklers running on dormant turf, that is the reason. We are

trying to get our product down to the soil surface. With the

weather patterns being what they are, applying before a timely

rain is also a great option.

Tree work was accomplished around #10 and #11 greens.

This really opened up some morning sunlight and will

benefit not only the green, but the collar and approach areas

as well.
