Board of Directors’ Workshop - Wednesday, September 22nd - 1pm - Lodge Oak Room

Please note that on 7/27/10, the County returned to a one-day-per-week watering rule, therefore, all Timber Pines residents must water on the SECOND day of their schedule. EVEN addresses must water in the AM before 8am and ODD addresses must water in the PM after 6pm. This information is available on our Timber Pines website and copies are also available at the Lodge front desk and will be printed in the October 2010 TPCA newsletter.

Food and Beverage Some of our snowbirds are already back and joining our full-time residents at the Country Club. The first Dinner and Dancing event is back beginning Saturday, October 16th. We will continue the special Dinner and Dancing evenings into November (on the 13th and the 27th). A 2.00 entertainment charge per person will apply for these events. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a jacket for the Dinner and Dancing evenings in keeping with the special occasions (tie not required). The grille room will continue to feature a casual menu for those residents wishing lighter fare. Our popular Resident Appreciation Wednesdays will not be available during the month of December due to our holiday parties. These will return in January. Chefs’ Table Saturday, September 25th with Laquered Maple Leaf farms 1/2 duck with a Raspberry Gastrique being the featured entrée. Limited seating available so make reservations early. Special requests for items not on our menu are many times available. We like to accommodate all our residents’ wishes but special requests are dependent on the volume of business and the ingredients that are available (e.g. Western omelet or special vegetarian menu items). Rest assured we will try our best to accommodate you and your guests. See you at the Club. Rob and Your Restaurant Committee

Golf Course & Landscape Operations - Eric Czarnecki Currently the back 9 of the Lakes Course is closed due to the irrigation renovation. We are now at a point where it becomes necessary to also close the back 9 of the Hills Course while we install the new system. Therefore the back 9 of the Lakes will remain closed through 10/25 and the back 9 of the Hills will be closed also from 9/17-9/21. We’ll then re-open the Hills back 9 and close the front 9 of the Hills from 9/22-9/28 while we work on holes #7, 8 & 9.

This past week we aerified the front 9 Pines greens with ¼” needle tines in an effort to promote oxygen throughout the soil profile. We are scheduled to aerify the Pines back 9 on Monday, September 20th while the course is closed for normal maintenance. Due to this process normal golf play will begin on the 10th tee for this day only. Please remember to visit Timber Pines Irrigation blog address http:timberpinesirrigation.blogspot.com/ Thank you for you patience.
