FROM THE GOLF SHOP
SPRING CLEAN YOUR CLUBS!
Want to start the golf season with a “better handle” of your game. Stop by the Golf Shop and see some of the latest and greatest in new grips.
Technology advancements aren’t only for clubs and balls. Grip manufacturers have made great strides with materials and textures to help you
play better golf. Come by and feel the traction of a “new set of tires” for your clubs.
MEMBER-ONLY SUNDAY
With an attempt to create a little “private club” environment, Sunday, April 6th will be a Member Only afternoon. Beginning at 1:00 pm, the
course will be available to members and guests of members. We want to try this as a means to say “thank you” to our most loyal customers,
our members. The Golf Shop is in the process of creating an event for that afternoon. It is our intent to schedule this the first Sunday of each
month April - September, however, the success depends on participation. Keep an eye in the Golf Shop for more details.

EMMANUEL COLLEGIATE TOURNAMENT
Monday and Tuesday, March 24 & 25, are the dates for this annual spring collegiate championship. Teams participating in this event will
be permitted to get a practice round in advance, but keep in mind that most of the 90+ players will play their practice rounds on Sunday
afternoon, the day before the tournament. As a precaution, Cateechee Members wanting to play on Sunday, March 24 should make tee times
for the morning.
ON THE GREEN
MASON BOWERS, SENIOR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT
I hope you are all as excited as we are to see the weather begin making turns in the right
direction. We have had a few rough winter months but hopefully we are now headed into the
beautiful spring and summer weather. I know everyone is ready to get back out on the golf
course, tennis courts, and our beautiful Cateechee grounds.
The inclement weather has not allowed us to do much work out on the course. We have
been spending time in the maintenance facility grinding reels, repairing ball washers,
painting signs markers, and the list just goes on, to help improve our equipment and overall
presentation. We have also been clearing a lot of brush which will allow the air to flow
to the greens that are really low in elevation. We have experienced several problems with
irrigation main lines, due to the recent weather, but we have resolved them and everything is
in good working order.
The spraying of roundup is complete and I feel confident about the progress we have made
considering the weather. As soon as the potential for frost and cold weather is over we will
open the tennis courts up for play and keep them in tip-top shape. We will also be planting
our summer flowers in April and look forward to the beauty they will bring to the club.
The Turf Maintenance team would like to thank everyone for coming out and enjoying the
golf course. We enjoy having not only members, but visitors as well, take pride in Cateechee.
We value your time with us and hope you make many memories at Cateechee!! As always,
thank you for supporting Cateechee Golf Club.
