14 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2020 | By Al Vallecorsa, PGA Director of Golf What a crazy year it has been. It is hard to believe it is September already and I am not sure about you but I cannot wait until we return to a normal routine and get back to some of the little things we liked to do. With that being said, the golf staff is still busy checking in members at both golf shops as well as helping various clubs with tournaments and events. Grip repair has picked up but we anticipated that after the lockdown. Please come and see us if you would like some re-gripping done to your clubs. September has some important activities; we have both the Men's and Ladies Club Championships slated this month and there are some course maintenance items taking place late in the month like green aerification and the start of over seeding. I would urge you to go to the Sun Lakes website and look under daily course conditions for daily updates as well as the monthly golf calendar. If you have not had a chance to drive over to holes 14-16 on the Championship course, I would say it would be worth it. This is the area that was done earlier in the year where drought tolerant plants replaced turf which is maturing quite nicely. I hope many of you had a chance to take advantage of many of our golf coupons which we advertised in Lifestyles last month. We had many members bring them to us which were good toward discounts on merchandise and savings on golf and range tokens. As a reminder, the golf shop is OPEN from 11 am to 3:30 pm daily to one member at a time or two from the same household. As I write this in August, due to COVID-19 we are still not allowing guest play. As a reminder, we take tee time requests during the weekday and those requests go into a lottery. The "lottery" is just that, a lottery and times are awarded as the slips get drawn. We will only accept "one tee time slip per group" and if more than one slip is turned in those slips will not be allowed in the draw. For a Monday tee time we draw on Friday afternoon. If you are in need of a weekend time you can either call or stop by for a time seven days in advance. Recently the GAC voted on changing maintenance day from Monday to Tuesday. So on Tuesday tee times get delayed one hour. This allows Mark, the superintendent, a little extra time to do work on the course like top dress greens, spray greens etc… Maintenance day on the executive course is Wednesday so play does not start until 8:30 am. The GAC has also put in a request for more bunker sand for both courses. Golf Rule of the Month (#15): Use of any portion of the Association's golf course facilities for non-golf related activities requires the specific approval of the Board prior to such use. In other words, no joy riding in carts is allowed on the course. As a reminder: Both Golf Shops will be closed on Sept. 29 at 1:30 pm for inventory. If you have questions about any of the information above, please call the Main Golf Shop at (951) 845-2135 or the Executive Golf Shop at (951) 769-8444. Happy golfing!
