From Drew Paxton
November 4, 2024

Greetings,

We are getting close to the end of the season. Next week Tuesday and Wednesday we will winterize our irrigation system. The leaves have our full attention right now, I am glad they are coming down as quickly as they are so we don’t have to deal with too many of them in December. The crew has done a fantastic job with the leaves. This is one of the most difficult parts of our season because of how monotonous dealing with the leaves becomes.

Over the next few weeks, we will mow all the greens, tees, and fairways for the last times and make our last preventative fungicide applications for the winter. We will put a heavy sand topdressing on all the greens. We will also get a couple drainage projects done as well.

As always, please repair your ball marks and replace your divots,

Drew Paxton
Golf Course Superintendent

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.
