I just got back this weekend from Montana... ahh, the good old days when the summer meant temperatures under 90. I was a speaker for the Montana Coaches Association All Sport Clinic. This was my first return to Montana in two years. It was such a quick trip I didn’t get to venture out much, so not much to report here in the blog.
Back at the golf course we had a great weekend with over 120 players on Saturday. The week began with a little rain and high humidity, but by the end of the week, the temperatures were very pleasant for this time of the year.
This was the two year anniversary of me starting this blog while I caddied at the PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club just outside of Chicago. The Championship that year was won by Tiger Woods, going away. Our highlights during the event are that we hit more fairways the first two days than Tiger did, and we had more birdies (6) than Tiger. The difference was we had more double bogeys and missed the cut by 5 shots.
This year’s event was very exciting and came right down to the end. Padraig Harrington is showing what hard work and determination can do for you. Until last year Padraig was a Major Championship bridesmaid. Now he has won 3 of the last 6 major championships. Sergio Garcia is now becoming the bridesmaid. He definitely played well enough to win until the end.
I am sounding like a broken record when it comes to Scott Werline and his staff, but they continue to move the bar concerning the golf course conditions here in the valley. I have traveled to number of other facilities this summer, and you would be hard pressed to see many courses in better condition than we are, especially if they are open to the public.
We have had some concerns with the mosquitoes and midges here at the golf course. Last week Vector Control came out and tested for mosquito nests; they did not find any which means that the mosquitoes are traveling here from the other parcels around the community. We are currently looking into the midge issue, which although irritating, does not pose the same health concerns as the mosquitoes. We are working with Shea Community Development to resolve the issue.
We will be punching the greens one more time this month. We have the maintenance work scheduled to be done on August 18th and 19th. The course will be closed on the 19th, and only 9 holes open on the 18th.
The golf course will be overseeded on September 21st and will reopen on about October 8th. The plan is to be golf car paths only for the first 30 days with no exceptions.
On the Anthony Kim watch, Anthony made the cut at the PGA Championship, which these days is not his focus - but he did get enough FedEx Cup points to move to 5th on the FedEx Cup points list and closer to challenging for the coveted 10 million dollar prize.
With the double tee start system in place we have great tee times available every morning before the heat bakes the desert floor. We have over 112 rounds of golf available between 6:30 am and 8:30 am. Check out our upcoming specials for July and August, lots of great golf, golf balls and lunches! Don’t miss out. www.Trilogygolfclub.com/laquinta
Until next week, keep rolling the rock!
