Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes <br /> May 16 2016 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> Cityoy <br /> i <br /> Louisville <br /> COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br /> b) Course Outstanding Issues and comments. The course is in excellent <br /> condition and continues to improve. The greens were punched and top-dressed. <br /> 150 yard stakes have been purchased and will be installed shortly. Lisa <br /> commented that it is difficult to locate sprinkler heads with yardage markers as <br /> the grass is hiding them. The grass around the sprinkler heads and around the <br /> distance disks at the sides of the fairways will be trimmed back to fix this issue. <br /> Work is well advanced on installing the meter and valve by the pump house to <br /> segregate golf course water from that used on other parks. The vault is installed <br /> and the meter and valve will be wired shortly. The contractor's heavy equipment <br /> has created severe damage to the rough around the 12th tee. The contractor is <br /> responsible for fixing that and it should be done by May 25th. While the Board <br /> fully accepts the concept of the various tee markers (TNT, Pick and Shovel, <br /> Coad Car and Lantern) it was noted that they are hard to see and frequently get <br /> tripped over. We had significant discussion without resolution and agreed to <br /> table the matter until the end of the year. Flags have been placed to the right of <br /> the 3rd tee box to delineate the native grass area and golfers are asked not to <br /> walk through it. This may be an issue as it is a natural shortcut coming off the <br /> bridge between holes 2 and 3. No progress in mowing a path between the 7th <br /> green and the 8th tee. If such a path could be marked by mowing, walkers would <br /> be more likely to use that path and keep it trampled down. L-shaped ropes and <br /> stakes are in place by the forward tee on hole 5. This will channel walkers into a <br /> consistent path and again will keep it trampled down. No update on the irrigation <br /> controller problem. David B reported the first hole-in-one on #7 since the course <br /> re-opened. <br /> c) Feedback on league play. David has been very successful in attracting new <br /> leagues. We have the Men's Club Tuesday League, the Ladies League, <br /> Strokers, the Oracle League, the Nextgen League and the Scotch League. The <br /> first run of the WAVE program was popular. Due to poor weather, the numbers <br /> were limited which allowed the theory to be tested. There were starters on both <br /> the 1st and the 10th tee who supplemented the rangers to ensure appropriate <br /> pace of play. This is a critical feature of the WAVE concept and it is important to <br /> ensure that golfers transitioning from one nine to the other do not run into the last <br /> members of the other half of the wave or are late in starting their second nine. A <br /> nominal 15-minute gap between the last tee-off on Wave A and Wave B tee off <br /> after nine holes is planned. <br /> d) Season Pass Status. 28 passes were sold in May across all programs (Acme 4, <br /> Ajax 7, Regal 3 and Monarch 14) Several people have commented on how good <br /> a deal the Monarch Pass provides for youth ($199 or $179 for Louisville <br /> residents) Acme and Ajax sales tend to be impulse buys when players pay for <br /> their round encouraged by the free round and points program.
