INITIAL NOTE REGARDING "DIVOT DAY"


Dear Fawn Lake Golfer


It looks like, contrary to our recent weather, spring is in the air. Dave and his staff are working hard to get ready for the upcoming season. It has been a very wet winter and we’ve had more “cart path only” days than we would have preferred. We have a trenching tool on order to address our drainage issues so that, in the future, we’ll be spending more time driving to our balls. 


One of the effects of having to walk to our ball is that we’re not able to lug our sand along with our clubs, towels, range finder, etc that we keep in our carts. This has caused big growth in unfilled divots in our fairways and on the tee boxes. Because of this, we have scheduled our annual Divot Day for Wednesday the 20th of April.


We will be looking for 32 volunteers (14 fairways and tees and 4 holes for tees only). Sign up at the Pro Shop starting on April 13th. We’ll provide the sand. If you have a bucket and scoop, please bring them. If not, we’ll supply as many buckets as we have. Meet at the Pro Shop at 10am to pick up your sand and then head out to our assigned holes.


Thanks for your help in keeping our course in as pristine shape as possible and making it one of the premier courses in the state.
