GO LANCE!!!

There’s been so much excitement in the air at Fox Hollow Golf Club over the last several days, with more than 200 aspiring golfers trying to pre-qualify for the Transitions Championship next week.

Out of the 200 plus hopefuls, only 40 shot between 67 and 73 to move on to the next level of qualifying on Monday, the 14th, on the Island Course at Innisbrook.  There, they will be among many who did not have to pre-qualify, but all of whom are playing their hearts out to fill the four slots left open in the field.

Of the 40 moving on, one of them, Lance Gillett, is the nephew of Jim Gillett, Assistant Superintendent here at Fox Hollow.  Jimmy, we will all be pulling for Lance!!

THANKSGIVING DAY BUFFET!

“It can’t be, it really can’t be, only two and a half weeks until Thanksgiving!”  That’s what everyone is saying.  If it weren’t for the welcomed change in the weather, I wouldn’t believe it either.

If you are in a panic that it is upon us, there are options to baking for three days in advance and getting up before the break of dawn to dress the turkey and get in the oven while the rest of the family sleeps in.  One of them is to treat yourself, friends and family to the buffet at Windows on the Green Restaurant at Fox Hollow Golf Club...always a favorite with many returning customers.

Go to http://golfthefox.com/hollow/specialsandpromos.html for a complete itemized menu along with contact information as reservations are suggested.  Best to relax and enjoy as Christmas is just around the corner.

Shaena recently graduated from St. Leo University with a Bachelors Degree in International Hospitality Management. She played on the school’s Tennis Team for the past two years. 

Shaena has been a great addition to the Champions’ Club tennis instructional staff.  Not only did she hold lessons for both children and adults, but she even spent time hitting with our residents helping some of them prepare for local tennis competitions.

Glad to have you back ladies!

A WELL-OILED MACHINE!

Okay, I never dreamed this would be of any interest to me, or anyone, for that matter.  A week ago Monday, the crews were out in droves on the golf course as they were punching the greens, a process which takes place five times a year. 

From inside the tavern, it’s like you’re right there on the 18th green.  As I sat inside and watched, Superintendent Terry Teets was kind enough to explain what was taking place.  And so my interest grew and I am anxious to pass along so that all of you golfers may appreciate why our greens are the envy of all who have played out here.

He started by telling me there are 8 steps involved.  The first is the punching itself, which is the only step that is hired out to an outside contractor, who brings in three machines.  Not only does that prove to be more cost effective but also more time efficient.  Second, the dirt chunks created as a result of the punching are raked off.  Third, the greens are double mowed to get them as nice and smooth as possible.  Then the sand is applied, as if you were on the beach itself.  Next, they drag the sand to fill the holes and then roll for compaction.  Like the icing on the cake, each green is then fertilized, watered and the cup cut in for the final touch.

The fact is, you are probably not as impressed because half of the curiosity was in seeing the process actually unfold…as one machine operator finished his job and left the green, another sitting in line off to the side awaiting his turn, would pop up on the green.  What a well-oiled machine!
