The dog days of summer roll on! Saturday we were surprised with a little rain, enough to create some high humidity, but it did cool things down a bit. The month of September starts the countdown to overseeding. Superintendent Scott Werline and his staff will start to slowly reduce the amount of water on the golf course and we start the drying out process leading up to the September 22 scheduled overseed. This will be the time that you will really see some added distance to your drives!

Last week we had two groups out to Trilogy. First, the La Quinta Community Center had their final Summer Tour event, with 39 players participating and staying for their awards lunch. Second, Chuck Farrell’s 2nd Annual Labor Day Golf event was played over two days, first at Indian Palms Country Club, then on Sunday here at Trilogy. Chuck had 40 players participating.

As I am writing today’s blog, the PGA Tour is finishing the second of its 4th Playoff Golf Tournaments, this one the Dueche Bank outside of Boston. Anthony Kim had a strong start with 10 under par for the first two rounds. Yesterday was not kind to Anthony has he fired a 3 over par 74 and moved from 9th place to a tie for 30th. A strong finish should help him stay in the top 30 players, securing that he will play in the final two events. Anthony will also be making is first appearance in this year’s Ryder Cup!

Great news from Golf Digest, we just received a 4 ½ out of 5 star rating from them. We moved up ½ point from last year. My hat goes off to all the employees who helped up with this award. Speaking of awards, we are still in first place on the Best of The Best contest put on by PalmSpringslife.com.

I will be rolling out our specials for September on Thursday! Look for some great deals on this great golf course!

Todd Reed and I will be hosting our first webcast later this week. We will be discussing the finer points of the 2009 Annual Pass and Coupon Program.

It is our goal to provide you with 1-2 webcasts per week. We will cover a wide variety of topics which will include golf instruction, insights into the PGA Tour, and Special Activities that we will be hosting here at Trilogy Golf Club. Our own Todd Reed is an award winning Sports Director. Todd is the first radio/television personality to win the coveted Cranny Award for both his work in television and radio. Todd will bring a fun and exciting view to the topics we cover.

I will remind you each week that the golf course - including the Azul Restaurant - will be closed from September 22nd to October 5th, 2008. The Golf Shop will be open with selected hours to handle tee times for when we re-open.

Until next week, keep rolling the rock!
