2015–THE CHALICE

GOLF

The golf season is in full swing as we are now in spring and headed into the summer

months. There are lots of great Member events on the schedule, from Demo Days to Member

Appreciation events, to The Chalice, and on. We have an event for everyone to participate in!

The CordeValle Game along with the Ladies Game and Clinics have begun for this year. The

CordeValle game is held on Friday afternoons and features a different team format every

week. The Ladies Game is held on Wednesday mornings with individual competition and

Guest Days. The Ladies Clinics are held on Tuesday afternoons and are sure to improve your

game even further. Please join us for one or more of these weekly events!

We are very excited to feature some of the best golf vendors in the business on Friday, April 15th

for a Demo Day! Come see and test the best and latest golf clubs and equipment by the top golf

vendors in the business. Vendor representatives will be available to custom fit golf clubs to meet

your specific needs and swing. Get the latest gear and lower your scores this year!

The Chalice, CordeValle’s premier Member event of the year,

will be held May 4th through May 7th. Now in its 17th year, this

year’s event will be recorded as one of the best ever with sharp,

competitive golf, fine fare, and elegant tee gifts.

The Club Championship will be held June 3rd through June 5th this

year. This event is the ultimate test of a player’s game management,

focus and skill. The event will be contested over three days of championship level golf with a

Championship, Net and a Women’s Division. This event will determine our champion golfers

for the year!

ON THE COURSESpring is in the air and on the golf course. The wild turkeys are strutting their stuff and

everything is starting to green up and grow.

As we’ve shared, we are implementing new agronomic practices that

along with our current maintenance program will benefit the course

for the long term. The results of the initial deep tine aerification that

we did in late February are impressive. Sampling indicates that we

are definitely improving the overall health of our greens and that our

roots are driving much deeper into the sand base below the putting

surface. In fact, we have found that on all of our greens tested

recently, many of the roots are already 3 to 4 inches deep. This is

a big improvement and a positive trend. We have just completed

our second aerification and feel that the results will continue to be

promising for the greens on a long term basis.

Another project underway is our irrigation system audit. This time consuming

process includes GPS irrigation mapping of our valves and 3,000+ irrigation heads,

then analyzing the performance of each head to identify problems such as incorrect

sprinkler height, incorrect nozzles, leaks, wiring problems, replacement, etc. The audit

also includes analysis of our pump system and work on our software that controls the

irrigation applications. Typically, a 10 to 20% reduction in water use is accomplished

following their audit and the completion of the repair work.

We are pleased with the arrival of our new maintenance equipment. Our crew and

Master Mechanic, Cliff Mota, are going through training, then you will start seeing the

new equipment show up on the course.

Thank you for the support you have given my crew for our efforts to date. Course

conditions will continue to show improvement as we look forward to The Chalice, Club

Championship, U.S. Women’s Open, Ladies’ Challenge, The Harvest Cup, and the joy of

great daily play!

UPCOMING EVENTS

• Cardio Tennis

• Clinics

• Shot Instruction

Tennis TipsVolleyA punch volley is a type of volley that doesn’t use a full

swing. It’s a great technique when you’re volleying at

the net and have limited time to set up your return. To

hit a ball hard and fast with a short swing, you need

racquet speed, which is exactly what a punch volley offers - a short swing with a punching

motion. Try it next time you’re at the courts.

• Tournaments

• Tennis Carnivals

• Demo Days
