The Superintendent
Greetings SWC,
The Greens and fairways are recovering well.
We will be doing tree work in August.
As a reminder there is a Sand Bottle refill located by the Bathroom on Hole #5.
Please Sand all divots with the sand provided on the cart and repair all ball marks left on the green.
Thanks for your cooperation and support,

Coach Glenn’s tip of the month:
How to improve your game instantly
Add a step, a split step. A split step occurs after you hit the ball and prior to hitting a ball when the opponent hits the ball from the other side of Court. Make sure it's on your toes if you split step and land on your heels, it didn't do anything for you if you're up on your toes , it allows you to move left right and back and forward more quickly and it gets physically mentally stimulated to address the point.
