Chair’s Corner The much needed rain was great, and maybe we will have green grass soon. I know we missed a few days of golf,
but our ponds really need that water. Hopefully the weather will stay warm for a while.
I want to update you on the locker room renovation projects. We finally received a bid and it was quite a bit
higher than we expected. John Cochran with The Design Group, who planned the space and did the drawings you
see in the Club House, is bringing in more contractors to bid the job. The TTCC sub-committee will also meet
with John Cochran and work on ways to cut the price. One example is that we may decide to have two sinks in
each restroom instead of three. Please don’t misunderstand me, we are going to do this project. We must keep the
project at $130,000 and so we are not ready to start at this time. My hope is that the project will be started before
the next newsletter goes to print.
Margaritas with the membership was a great time and spirits were high! Blake signed up several members at the
margaritas event in March! I think the rain kept some people at home and then there were those of us who were
under the weather, so to speak. We have a multitude of activities planned for us each month. I know there is
something for everyone and it is always more fun with more participation, so check your newsletter and enjoy our
Club.
By now you should have received the information about the 2009 Board of Governors Election. You have the
opportunity to nominate someone or yourself for this Board. Nominees must be full golf members in good
standing for one year or more and must have served or chaired a TTCC committee for at least one year. If you
want to have a voice in the activities and improvements at the Club, nominate someone. April 15 the ballots will
be mailed to each of us, so please take the time to vote and return the ballot to the Club.
I’ve had a couple of members ask me to talk about litter on the course. It only takes a few minutes from each of
us to make our course much prettier. Please use the boxes on the tee box to dispose of broken tees. One other
issue is cigarette & cigar butts, it has been suggested to me that if a person would carry a cup in his/her cart with a
little sand in it that you could dispose of cigarette & cigar butts in this cup instead of all over the course. Thanks
in advance for any help in these areas.
If we are going to have the funds we need to complete projects, like the sand traps on the front nine, we need to
help Blake build our membership by giving him names of friends, relatives, neighbors, or business associates for
him to contact about membership. Remember we are a club that is “Membership by Referral Only.” Blake is
working hard and he needs our help, so think of someone to refer today. K26
As always I hope to see you at the Club!

Ambassador Committee Update Margaritas with the Membership March 12th was very well attended with new faces and guests. The Ambassadors goal is to get as many members and guests as possible to attend the Margarita night. It was fun for everyone to look for only three stickers to be eligible to win a prize. It is always interesting to see who attends this function. It appears we are seeing members that have heard about Margarita night and now understand the evening is designed for members to bring friends and quests together in an informal setting to get better acquainted and show off the friendliness of our members and staff. Yes, the bottom line is getting new people interested in becoming members, it is also a way to keep our members working together and staying interested in the club. The fun activities are also designed to give you, the member, an informal opportunity to go up to people you may not know and start the conversation by asking for the sticker you need for the drawing. The sticker hunt only takes a few minutes and qualifies you for the drawing. Each Margarita Night we draw gifts valued at more than $150.00.
Thank you all for your participation in March Margarita Night and we hope to see you April 9th for more fun and surprises. Thanks also to the great staff and all the Ambassadors for their time and effort, especially Dave Fredrikson running the shuttle cart, he was so cold he ran to the margarita machine to get warm. No; not to drink the margaritas, yes; to warm his back side and hands with the hot air the machine was exhausting. Now don’t you feel bad thinking he was running just to drink the Margaritas. (OK he did that as well)

Thorntree Book Club by Kathi Ackermann & Doris Whitley
Virtually all John Grisham’s novels are page turners, and The Appeal is no exception. Ranging from the personal and environmental effects of corporate greed and irresponsibility to the possible breach of impartiality of elected state Supreme Court justices, The Appeal seems very timely, given the current financial, corporate, and political mismanagement issues and scandals we now face. Grisham always presents moral and ethical issues to his readers in stories that involve characters we can identify and empathize with in many ways, along with characters we can all dislike. These issues and the story itself provided the book club members topics for an enjoyable discussion. For April’s selection, we travel from Grisham’s Mississippi to Greg Mortenson’s setting in remote regions of Pakistan, where his goal is to build schools in villages where no schools have ever existed. Like his mountain climbing expeditions, these goals are beset with pitfalls, missteps, and magnificent successes.
We agreed to switch the March and April books, so here is the updated list of books and dates:
April 2-Kathi Ackermann-host Three Cups of Tea (non-fiction) by Greg
Mortenson & David O. Relin May 7-Pat Shipley-host
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (fiction) by Stieg Larsson
Either Kathi, Doris, or the host will email directions and reminders (along with a reminder to RSVP) before each meeting, so please make sure that if we do not have you on our email list (below) that you send your information to Doris ([email protected]) or Kathi ([email protected]). Following is a list of those who have indicated they want to receive emails regarding the TTCC book club: Kathi Ackermann, Gayle Bailey, Sherry Boles, Edna Bolinger, Linda Cadigan, Annette Curtis, Paula Easter, Meredith Fernandez, LuClare Hamby, Jamie Head, Joyce Libbey, Judy Mayes, Gail Monte, Leilani Salisbury, Sharon Schuller, Eileen Sexton, Pat Shipley, Donna Smith, Carol Surplus, Doris Whitley. If you want to be removed from the list or added to it, please let Doris and Kathi know. We hope to see at our April 2nd meeting at Kathi Ackermann’s house!

Thorntree Golf Standards In order for Thorntree CC to meet conditions of playability desired by the
membership. The following guidelines are being set forth based on direct
member feedback. They are the minimum standards to be seen on the course daily except when otherwise stated here. These standards are intended to
build pride and really make you proud to be a member.
Greens: All 18 Greens plus (2) practice greens.
The greens at Thorntree CC were designed to be challenging yet penal. Since the greens are heavily sloped it is imperative that green speeds be maintained
fast but not unplayable fast. Our greens were designed to be kept at
Stimpmeter speeds no less than 8.5 feet and no more that 11 feet. Ideal green speeds will be between 9 and 10.5 on a daily basis.
Therefore, greens will be checked on a regular basis with a true and accurate
Stimpmeter to verify speeds of 8.5 feet or greater. Testing shall occur after
7am and before 12 noon at least 2x’s on days of member play per week. The
flattest greens, which are the Upper practice green and #1 green, will be used
as benchmarks.
Further, since major club tournaments are the highlight of the year, the greens
will be maintained to a Stimpmeter speed of 9.5 to 11 feet each day of
tournament play.
Tees: This includes all teeing grounds on the course plus the practice tee.
Each tee box shall be kept completely covered with grass appropriate for that
tee and the season of the year. The tees shall not reach a height in excess of
5/8 inch between mowing. The only exception to this shall be during over
seeding, heavy maintenance periods or periods of severe weather.
Divots shall be kept repaired and there shall be minimal foreign grass or
weeds in the teeing area.
Fairways: Each fairway should be solidly covered in Bermuda grass with
minimum amounts of weeds. On all member play days the fairways should
be kept to provide players with good lies. Weather permitting fairways
should be mowed at least 2 member play days per week during times of year
when there is grass growth.
Sand Bunkers: Sand bunkers shall be raked daily. They will be maintained
with TXI golf sand at a depth of at least 4 inches in the floors and 2 inches on
the faces.
Rough: The roughs will have two cuts. The first cut will be adjacent to the
fairway that will be 4 to 6 feet in width at a height of ½” above fairway cut.
This cut will also include at least a 4 to 6 foot loop around bunkers and
sloping portion of all green surrounds. The second cut will be no less that 1”
and shall be mowed at least 1 time per week weather permitting.
Practice Area: The practice area will be solidly grassed, free of weeds, and
kept in similar condition as the main golf course. The entire tee will be
mowed at least 1 time per week with all divots and debris blown off and
picked up. The practice bunker will be raked daily and maintained the same
as on course bunkers.
Course Set-Up: Setting up the course for play each day is the responsibility
of the superintendent with advice from the golf professional when
appropriate. Tee Markers will be moved daily based on play and
environmental conditions. Placement of markers should logically relate to the
placement of hole locations and the environmental conditions present.
Hole locations will be changed daily during times of turf growth and as
needed dependent on play during off-season play. Each green is setup to have
4 quadrants to locate holes. Each quadrant should be used as marked on hole
location map. Hole locations should not be set on severely sloped areas and
should be in accordance with current hole placement system.
It may be necessary from time to time in the best interests of the golf course
to require that golf carts stay away from damaged or stressed areas, or remain
on paths at all times.
I want to thank you all for being members at Thorntree Country Club and
hope that these standards as stated will help make your experiences they best
they can be.
Thorntree Tennis www.thorntreecctennis.com
Spring is in full swing at the tennis center!
