Introducing SLCC Bucks - Our New Staff Incentive Program

Dear Spring Lake Country Club Members,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new staff incentive program, SLCC Bucks, designed to reward our dedicated team members who consistently go above and beyond in their roles. This initiative aims to recognize and encourage exceptional service across all areas of our club, including member dining, golfing, the pool, youth activities, and general interactions.

As valued members of SLCC, your participation in this program is crucial. We ask for your help in identifying and acknowledging those staff members who demonstrate extraordinary efforts. When you experience outstanding service or witness a staff member going the extra mile, please take a moment to fill out a "Shout Out" card or report the behavior to a manager.

"Shout Out" cards will be conveniently placed throughout the clubhouse and pool areas, making it easy for you to recognize deserving staff members. Each recognized staff member will earn SLCC Bucks, which can be redeemed for gift cards and will also earn them a spot in an end-of-the-year drawing for two custom Pure Michigan Adventures.

Your feedback and support are instrumental in motivating our staff and enhancing the overall experience at Spring Lake Country Club. We will run this program from June 1 - August 31. Together, we can foster a culture of excellence and appreciation that benefits everyone in our community.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us celebrate the outstanding contributions of our team.

Warm Regards,
Kevin Green, CCM
General Manager
Spring Lake Country Club

G R O U N D S   R E P O R T
From Drew Paxton
September 23, 2024


Greetings,

This week we are aerifying the greens. We plan to do the front 9 on Monday and the Back 9 on Tuesday.

This process is very important to the long-term health of the putting greens. We are able to combine all the cultural practices we do throughout the season and do them all at once.  It is a “simple” 11 step process.

  1. Heavy Sand Topdressing – We will put down more sand in the next two days than all of the other light topdressings we do during the season combined.
  2. Deep Tine (Solid) – This is set to 6 inches deep, 3 inches further than our typical depth. This allows us to affect water infiltration and rooting twice as deep as a normal aerification.
  3. Solid tine aerification – This is set to 4 inches deep, and the spacing is set to 2 inches. We are also using 3/4-inch diameter solid tines. During the season we use 1/10-inch diameter tines.
  4. Vertical mowing (verti-cut) – This promotes lateral growth and a denser canopy to putt on. Verti-cutting also helps incorporate the sand into the open aerification holes.
  5. Brush – This works the remaining sand around the green to fill the rest of the holes, and create a uniform layer of sand on the surface.
  6. Roll (Round 1) – This will start the process of smoothing the greens out again.
  7. Mow – We will mow the greens to continue to work the sand into the canopy.
  8. Roll (Round 2) – This will continue to smooth out the greens to get them ready for play.
  9. Blow – We will blow off any excess sand.
  10. Water – First round of irrigation to work the sand in more.
  11. Spray – Fertilizer and fungicide applied to aid recovery.

We typically do some of these same cultural practices during the season, but usually it is only one or two at a time. It is a necessary evil, but we will have these greens back to normal in 10-14 days.

As always please replace your divots and fix your ball marks.

Ray Davis Promoted to Director of Instruction


We're excited to announce a new role at SLCC. As we enter into this new and exciting golf season, I am thrilled to announce a change in the Golf Department. 

Ray Davis has been a PGA assistant professional with Spring Lake Country Club for the past 19 seasons.  Over the past 18 months, we have been working together on an exciting new role for Spring Lake Country Club.  Ray will be taking on the new role as our Director of Instruction. 

Over the past several years, SLCC has seen an increased demand for this role within our department.  Ray brings a wealth of expertise and passion for instruction and club fitting.  Under his guidance, we are excited to introduce engaging clinics and individual/group personalized lessons, while continuing to elevate the golf experience for our members.

In addition to this, be on the lookout for more detailed information about Operation 36 Programming for new golfers (adults and juniors), PGA Junior League, along with many other exciting learning opportunities.

Winter is one of the best times to work on your golf game inside with our Trackman indoor bays.  Winter lesson series for Juniors, Ladies and Men are available.

You will find more information on pricing and how to sign up for lessons with Ray here.

Brandon, Blake and myself will also continue to provide lessons, teach Junior Golf, assist in clinics, and provide club fittings.

We are excited about the current direction of our golf program and can’t wait to share it with you.

 
Warm Regards,
Josh Lathwell
