After years of hard work and input from the General Manager’s Ordinance 7 Advisory Committee (Committee), staff, and special legal counsel, the Board modified employee beach access to protect the beach deed and the rights of its beneficiaries. The following is intended to provide clarification around the issue and popular questions.

Who was involved and what was the process?

The District has been evaluating changes to Ordinance 7 (Rates, Rules, and Regulations) for IVGID Recreation Passes and Recreation Punch Cards since 2020. The Committee was formed and recommended revisions, including

A Note About Terminology:

beach access for District employees and their dependents, along with the Silver and Gold Card holders. In 2021, the Board authorized special legal counsel to review this beach access issue to ensure compliance with the 1968 Beach Deed. On January 25, 2023, the Board approved the modification of employee benefits to exclude beach access.

Why did the Board take action?

As a fiduciary, the Board has been entrusted by the public to oversee and manage the District. Per the Beach Deed, the beaches are, “for the benefit of property owners and their guests.” IVGID employees are beneficiaries of the Beach Deed. The Board has a responsibility to protect the beaches, the property rights of owners and their tenants. Its decision to modify beach access protects the District by its compliance with the Beach Deed.

What does this mean going forward?

Effective immediately, employees have no recreational access to the beaches unless they’re a property owner, a tenant, or a guest of a property owner. For IVGID employees who work at the beaches, they have occupational

access to the beaches during scheduled work hours. Lastly, Incline Village property owners, tenants and guests will continue to have beach access in accordance with the Beach Deed and Ordinance 7.

Is there any consideration by the Board to offer employees other privileges?

Yes, the GM and HR Director are working on this. Filling seasonal and full-time positions has been difficult, for example, last year the District couldn’t fill the lifeguard vacancies and sense this may be the new normal.

In closing, we appreciate all District employees. The Board understands this is a sensitive issue. It has been several years in the making and I appreciate the efforts by the Committee, staff, and the Board for their leadership in protecting the Beaches for generations to come.

Matthew Dent

Matthew Dent, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Starting with this edition, we will be using the term "IVGID Recreation Pass" in place of "IVGID Picture Pass" to better reflect the language contained in Ordinance 7.

According to Ordinance 7: "IVGID Recreation Pass means the non-transferable photo identification pass issued by the District for free access to District Beaches for those Parcels which have Beach Access, and for hourly, daily, and seasonal discounts at other Districtowned Recreation Facilities."

IVGID Recreation Passes are different from IVGID Recreation Punch Cards, which are defined by Ordinance 7 as: "Recreation Punch Card means the card for Recreation Privileges issued by the District to eligible Owners for use by the Owner, the Owner’s Tenants and Guests of the Owner, that can be used to pay some or all of access fees to various District Recreation Facilities and bears a dollar face value established by the Board each fiscal year. A Tenant or a Guest of an Owner may use a Recreation Punch Card for access to Recreation Facilities, with or without the accompanying Owner, as more fully described in this Ordinance."

It is hard to believe as I sit here writing this (while looking at five feet of snow) that spring is just around the corner! Before you know it, everyone will be out enjoying all the outdoor venues that Incline Village and Crystal Bay have to offer – golf, tennis and pickleball, swimming, boating, volleyball, hiking, disc golf, water skiing, bocce ball, etc.

The hope for all venues is that we can return to normal capacities and service levels this spring and summer. Golf is moving back to 10-minute intervals between groups. Food and Beverage is working hard on recruitment to have enough employees to operate at full capacity. (With that said, it is still a good idea to make reservations if you are coming to The Grille.) Weddings and Events look to be back on track for normal bookings.

Springtime begins with a flurry of maintenance activity... Whether we are talking about the dedicated Parks crew getting the ball fields ready and the green spaces at our community parks and beaches spruced up, the Golf Maintenance teams working on both golf courses, or the Diamond Peak team putting the resort to bed for the summer season.

Please make sure that if you are out walking your dog or strolling with your friends and family, that you remember these areas are a “work space” with lots of equipment operating, such as mowers cutting grass. It is possible that debris from the winter could get caught up in a mower, so make sure you keep a safe distance when this work is going on, especially at both golf courses.

With multiple pre-season treatments and fertilizer being applied on the golf courses, it is also very important that everyone stays off of all fairways, greens and tees, as any disruption during the spring can cause the grass to burn where you step, leaving footprints for the entire growing season.

As always, please also remember to keep your pets on leash when walking around our outdoor venues. Please clean up after them and dispose of their waste in the many bear-proof trash canisters we have available at our venues.

Hopefully, we will see you outside when the weather breaks, enjoying all of our outdoor venues!

Keep it Simple,

Darren Howard Director of Golf & Community Services

bocce boyZ, bocce babes & bocce courts for all

By Ken Hubbard

April 23, 2013 - a cold and blustery day with six foot waves rolling in at Ski Beach. It was on this day that four men decided to brave the elements and test their skills on Incline's lone bocce court, nestled between the pines on the beach. The bitter cold did nothing to deter the banter, and the increased camaraderie brought about by the weather provided for three scintillating games of bocce. And thus, the Bocce Boyz were formed.

From that day forward the Boyz met twice a week, outgrowing the Ski Beach court after their first year, and moving to Spindleshanks in Kings Beach for year two. During year three, the Boyz were forced to move again to accommodate the group’s growth, this time to the three bocce courts at Truckee's Riverside Sports Park.

After five years of lobbying by Bocce Boyz Commissioner Art Schmauder, and recognition by IVGID that bocce was a growing sport which allows all ages to play, the bocce

Parks&Rec

players of Incline Village were rewarded with four beautiful, regulation courts, located adjacent to the Incline Village Recreation Center. These courts are open to the entire community to enjoy.

The Bocce Boyz meet every Wednesday at 10am at the Recreation Center courts, weather permitting, and all members of the community are invited to join in and have fun.

The availability of Incline's new bocce courts, coupled by the enjoyment experienced by the Boyz, provided impetus for the formation of the Bocce Babes - a ladies group that meets every Tuesday morning at 10am under the direction of Commissioner Julie Ashton. The Bocce Babes were formed in the Spring of 2020 and have grown to 16 regular members since that time. They also welcome new players interested in joining.

Please feel free to introduce yourself to either of these groups or play on your own. Bocce balls and rules are located at the Recreation Center's front desk. The boards at the end of each court are there for keeping score. The benches and planters are provided for your comfort and enjoyment as a result of a fundraising effort - through Incline Tahoe Foundation and the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation - by the Bocce Boyz, Bocce Babes, and family and friends of local players to whom bocce was a passion.

For information on Bocce Ball Court rentals contact the Recreation Center at 775.832.1310.

WELCOME LETTER FROM NICK HOLLIGAN

Happy Spring!

This will be my first full season at Incline Village. It won’t be long until we are back on the fairways, and knocking in those birdie putts (we hope!). On a personal level, I’m looking forward to meeting all the golfing residents returning for the season, and helping those new residents looking to join in the fun!

Incline Village truly is one of the most beautiful places you could enjoy a round of golf, and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to enhance the experience for all those that grace the fairways of Incline.

Currently, we're planning to open the Championship Course in late May, with the Mountain Course following in early June. The snow cover has been pretty consistent throughout the winter, which benefits the course going into the golf season. I know Jeff Clouthier and his maintenance team are extremely diligent, and will be doing their best to offer optimal playing conditions for you.

Drive to victory

We are delighted to have brand new Club Car lithium carts for the Championship Course this season. Cart keys will be available for pick up in the golf shop, this allows us to monitor cart usage, improve check in procedures, and also for safety of all golfers and residents

in the area. The Visage GPS system will be touchscreen, allowing you to see the overview of each hole with yardages, and zoom into the green to see in closer detail the obstacles that lie ahead. The new carts also come with USB charging ports, coolers, club washers and shelves at the front left and right to safely store your valuables during play.

Please reach out if you’d like any information regarding golf. We have a full calendar of golf events, tournaments, Junior Camps, Get Golf Ready clinics and the PGA Junior League ahead. Details can be found on the golfincline. com website.

Happy golfing, Nick Holligan

Q: How should you determine which set of tees to play from on a golf course?

A: Why don’t more golfers move up when teeing off and play a shorter course? Why hasn’t a great idea like lowering scores and making more birdies caught on? Faster rounds and shorter approach shots surely make for a more enjoyable on-course experience.

Behavioral changes in golfers and golf clubs require time, effort and intervention. Overcoming the player’s ego, convenience, and conformity takes

time. Virtually all of them (most golfers will willingly admit) stand in the way. One great way to gauge which set of tees one should be playing from is to take the carry distance (not total distance) in yards that you hit your 5 iron, and multiplying it by 36 to get the optimal course length for your game. For example, if your 5 iron carries 180 yards through the air, it is recommended that you play a course length of 6,480. At the Championship Course, to play from the Championship tees, you should have the ability to carry your 5 iron 197 yards through the air!

If you are unsure of your carry distances, please stop by the golf shop and we will be happy to take our ball monitoring system on the range with you. It’ll only take 10 minutes and your 5 iron, and you’ll leave with the perfect gauge on which tee you should play from.

Golf course maintenance staff monitors the golf courses throughout the winter. The winter season can bring many different scenarios – some good and some not so good. This year will be a challenge with the deep snow depths, but luckily there has been minimal ice formation on the greens as of late February. During the wintertime we clear cart paths to be able to get around the golf course, and in late February we started the process of snow removal on the Championship course greens. It is too early to know what kind of damage there may be or to what extent as of press time, but we’re hoping for manageable conditions.

As we get further into spring, we will start cleaning up all the debris that litters the courses throughout the winter. Spreading of black mulch and sand will help melt the snow, and before we know it we will be mowing and grooming the turf in preparation for the golf season. We look forward to seeing everyone out on the courses once they’re open!

golf shop update

ByGregMerritt

Did you know that both Incline Village Golf Courses have unique and distinctive golf shops, offering a massive selection of golf apparel, accessories and great gift ideas.

At the Championship Golf Course, the award-winning Golf Shop carries a huge selection of men’s and women’s golf shoes, hats and apparel from brands such as Sunice, Foot Joy, Puma, Nike, Travis Mathew, Swing Control, Sport Haley, GGBlue and more. Golfers looking to upgrade their clubs, or purchase their first full set can come in and work with one of our PGAcertified club fitting specialists to find the perfect club(s) for your golf game. In addition to shoes and apparel, the shop has all the essentials a golfer will need for a successful and fun day on the golf course. And non-golfers will find a huge selection of Lake Tahoe-themed gifts, clothing, accessories and more to choose from.

The Mountain Course golf shop will also continue to offer your basic needs for a day on the course – golf balls, markers, towels, hats, etc. – and will be offering all apparel at a discounted price; thus making the Mountain Course Golf Shop our local golf apparel outlet.

New for 2023

We are excited to announce the addition of G/Fore brand golf shoes to the Golf Shop at the Championship Course. We will be offering a few of their most popular styles for both men and women this year.

We are also excited to be adding the apparel brand LOHLA SPORT, after they recently made the announcement of their partnership with golf legend and Incline Village local Annika Sorenstam:

Annika Sorenstam and LOHLA SPORT have established a new partnership which has the golf legend exclusively wearing the brand’s premium ladies’ golf-lifestyle apparel at golf tournaments and events.

In addition to these new brands, we will continue to offer a variety of apparel from some of the most recognizable brands in the golf industry including Peter Millar (which had been on a two-year hiatus).
