All golfers can help keep our course in pristine condition.
As I approach my three-month anniversary as your Director of Golf, I want to take a moment to reiterate how excited I am to be part of The Landings community. Without a doubt, the best part of my new role has been getting to meet so many of you. Thank you to everyone who has extended such a warm welcome—it’s made my transition a truly enjoyable one.
Over the past few months, you may have noticed a few minor operational changes around the golf program. Please know that these adjustments are made thoughtfully and with two key priorities in mind: improving overall efficiency for both members and staff, and acting in the best interest of the majority. We’ve also welcomed some new faces to the golf operation team, and more are on the way. I encourage you to extend to them the same kindness and hospitality you’ve shown me.
As expected, the month of May has brought a natural slowdown in golf activity, with league play comprising most of our weekly events. Looking ahead to June, we’ll be hosting a few junior golf tour events, as we’ve done in years past. These events will not interfere with member play. If you’re out playing on one of those days, please consider offering a warm greeting to our young guests. They represent the future of the game, and the impression we leave can have a lasting impact on their golfing journey.
Looking ahead to July, we’re excited to announce the addition of a Firecracker Scramble on Friday, July 4th. Like our Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve events, the scramble will begin at 8 a.m., and we’ll be closing early that day to give our staff time to enjoy the holiday with their families. Keep an eye on ForeTees, as the event will be posted soon. We hope to see many of you out there wearing your red, white, and blue to celebrate Independence Day!
We’re incredibly fortunate to have such a beautifully maintained course here at The Landings. Rocky and his team continue to do an exceptional job providing top-notch playing conditions every day. Please help us preserve these conditions by following a few simple but important guidelines:
• Keep carts at least 30 feet from tees and greens
• Observe all cart signage and restrictions, especially during rainy season
• Repair ball marks, fill divots with sand, and rake bunkers after use
• Always play ready golf and keep pace with the group in front of you
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the lessons I’ve had with many of you already. Teaching is one of the most rewarding parts of my role, and nothing brings me more satisfaction than hearing about your successes on the course. My mission is to help create long-term enjoyment of the game through short-term results and success. I look forward to working with more of you and helping you make golf a game you love for life.
And remember: Practice makes permanent!
