Indra Winquest, IVGID Interim General Manager
SUMMER & COVID-19 UPDATES Hello Crystal Bay and Incline Village Community Members! Interim District General Manager Indra Winquest here wishing you a safe and happy start to our summer season! The COVID-19 pandemic continues to permeate our society; however, we at IVGID are working very hard to ensure that as we reopen our programs, services, and venues, we are doing so in a thoughtful way to protect the health and safety of our workforce, community members, and guests. Protocols are changing throughout IVGID and many of you who have recently used the golf courses, tennis center, parks, and the beaches have experienced the precautions that we are taking. The IVGID staff is working diligently to adjust to the ever-changing environment and the challenges that the COVID-19 impact has on everyday life for all of us. We know that for some, change has been and will continue to be difficult. The only approach is to work together, be respectful, and be thoughtful of each other during these challenging times. The reopening of IVGID programs, services, and venues is progressing, albeit gradually, and with required health and safety processes and restrictions. Information is power and 6 | IVGID Quarterly Incline Village General Improvement District
WELCOME MESSAGE FROM TIM CALLICRATE Tennis and Bocce will be welcome additions to our recreation roster.
NOTE FROM YOUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES Summer is here! On behalf of the Board of Trustees I would like to extend heartfelt greetings to all the residents of Incline Village and Crystal Bay and take a moment to thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding shown throughout these last three months in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. These have been trying times, to say the least, but our community has stepped up to the challenges presented and we have proven to be a resilient, caring and empathetic group of residents once again. Thank you!
We also have much-needed changes taking place within our financial realm. Internal controls and reporting are being revamped. Our Audit Committee has been completely reworked to give greater guidance and oversight to the financial processes to ensure complete transparency. The District is transitioning back to Enterprise Fund accounting within our Community Services arena. And our new Chief Financial Officer, Paul Navazio, has been meeting with financial experts within our community to address longstanding issues of concern which he is committed to rectify. The District has also engaged a new legal firm BB&K which will be handling all legal activities once the transition has transpired. And we are bringing on board independent oversight of the entire Effluent Pipeline Project which begins at the Sweetwater plant and terminates at the wetlands in Carson City. This critical infrastructure project will be refocused to grapple with the many complexities inherent in such a herculean project and ensure a timely and successful completion.
As we begin our summer season our District is faced with many challenges unforeseen in years past. Our Interim General Manager, Indra Winquest, and his senior staff, along with our dedicated employees make for a tremendous team of committed folks who are ready and able to operate our facilities in a seamless, albeit altered, manner for our home owners, residents and guests. In my 35 years living in Incline Village and Crystal Bay I’ve never experienced anything quite like these last three months! Businesses closing overnight, houses of worship shuttered and residents being asked to shelter on site… clearly drastic measures to deal with an insidious, unseen foe. Yet, I’ve also seen an incredible adaptability of our private sector to come up with new and unique ways to tackle the issues at hand. I’m hopeful and encouraged that many of our restaurants, service businesses and civic organizations will be able to come back from the brink and flourish once again as our general economy rebounds. We are a hardy lot up here in the mountains and I look forward to a season filled with our home owners, residents and guests recreating at our beautiful beaches, our well-manicured parks and ballfields, our soon to be opened Rec. Center and all of our facilities that make living here so incredible! Also, changes at 8 | IVGID Quarterly Incline Village General Improvement District

championship golf course
Welcome Letter From Kyle Thornburg, Head Golf Pro Well, well, well... Here we are, FINALLY! After an interesting (to say the least) winter we are enjoying some golf. All of us here at The Championship Course worked through the lockdown to prepare for the season. Jeff and his team have been able to work on the course, and with the fast melting snows in April, the course opened May 18 in great shape for the 2020 season. You may have even seen a few PGA Professionals and our District Merchandiser on the courses during the spring, picking up pinecones, mowing fairways, and filling areas with sand and seed for quick healing. We have a strong team of PGA Professionals and managers that will continue to provide the best possible experiences here at the Championship Course. We have installed our brand new Range Hitting System on the driving range - instead of individual mats, this new setup is large pieces of synthetic
turf which looks like one large strip of grass and allows us to rotate the hitting stations throughout the season. (It’s also easy to use a tee with the new surface.) I have tested the turf and it feels great! We look forward to our residents utilizing our new driving range setup. I expect the play at The Championship Course and the driving range to be as busy (if not busier) than usual with everyone coming out of lockdown. With expected limitations and restrictions, please make sure you are connected through our email communications for further updates regarding the Golf Courses. As we get more information, we will make sure our residents are as up to date as we are. I look forward to seeing you all on our beautiful golf courses this summer!
Kyle Thornburg Kyle Thornburg joined the Incline Village Golf Team in 2013 as the Tournament Coordinator/ Assistant Golf Professional. Kyle played four years of high school varsity golf, then two years at the collegiate level while attending Monterey Peninsula College.

mountain golf course
Welcome Letter From Ashley Wood, Head Golf Pro I am so thankful to call Lake Tahoe my home during all the uncertainty and crazy times. I have been grateful to be part of such a great community and to see everyone together. I’ve missed seeing you all this spring, so I am excited we get to see everyone on the courses now. The renovated Mountain Course Clubhouse looks absolutely amazing! Everyone involved did a great job and we are looking forward to fully operating soon. We may not have been able to introduce the clubhouse this season with a grand opening and full group events, but the results of the construction certainly gives some positive outlook on things to come. The deck may be my new favorite spot in all of Incline! With golf open and food and beverage available, come check out the new spot. I have always promoted creating a happy and healthy lifestyle through the game of golf and fitness. Now more than ever our physical and mental health is so important and we are here to help. Your safety is our number one
priority and we are doing everything we can to make sure you have a fun and safe experience here at the courses. During this time of social distancing we are still offering one-on-one golf lessons and golf fitness. What better time to walk the golf course to get the fresh air, physical activity and mental break from all of what’s going on in the world. We’re excited to see you all on the course.

GOLF LESSONS & CLINICS Welcome Letter From Neil Gunn, Teaching Professional at IV Golf Academy
As we all know, the coronavirus pandemic has changed our everyday lives and will change the Incline Village summer golf instruction programs to ensure we all remain safe. We are excited to say that the Incline Village Golf Academy will be operational this year, but we will be implementing new safety procedures to ensure proper social distancing. We will not be conducting any group lessons to start, which affects the popular Get Golf Ready programs, as well as the Ladies clinics we run for the clubs. It will also affect our junior programs this summer. However, I will be teaching one-on-one lessons in the private teaching area as I have been doing since 2009. This is a great way to work on your game in a safe environment. On-course playing lessons in the evening are also a great way to work on your game safely, as we will individually have our own carts and will be playing while the golf course is least crowded.

static position. This causes a lot of force through your body in a very short amount of time. If you were to go for a sprint, it would be important to warm up your body beforehand, both so you don’t pull a hamstring, but also so that you can perform at your peak.
golf tip
By Ashely Wood, Head Golf Pro at the Mountain Golf Course Golf is a lot like sprinting. This may sound strange to some, but if you think about it the golf swing is a very explosive action starting from a very
And the same is true for golf. Whether it be for your next club championship, or a casual round with friends, being ready to play will not only shave a few strokes off your score, but will also help make it more enjoyable. With a proper warm-up routine, you can increase performance, prevent injury and continue playing golf to a much older age than you otherwise would. Hitting golf balls before you play is important, but a proper warm-up should go beyond the range. Focusing
Golf on balance, mobility and strength before you take your first swing are keys to success. Using a dynamic workout (i.e. moving the body through lunges, shoulder mobility exercises, etc.) versus a static warm up (holding stretches for a prolonged period of time) will get your blood flowing and your muscles ready to play. Simple little moves can also be beneficial when you don’t have a chance to hit the range. I’ve put together a short YouTube video to demonstrate a few of the warm up exercises you can try before you hit the first tee or even in your living room: bit.ly/ivgolfwarmup. Cheers to a happy and healthy game!

Golf
• Practice green area enhancements, including new irrigation and sod, and installation of a collar around the green • Extensive tree removal The bunkers with new sand will play soft for a while until the sand gets compacted. These improvements on both courses will be marked as Ground Under Repair as needed until ready for play.
GOLF maintenance updates Welcome to the 2020 golf season! We are excited to get the season started and to provide our golfers a quality product for their golfing experience. There was a lot of work done before the golf courses opened in the spring. Some examples include extensive cleanup and snow removal, firing up and testing irrigation systems, implementing cultural practices such as aeration, seeding, topdressing and fertilization to activate growth where necessary, and getting the courses into good early season condition to withstand the heavy play throughout our short growing season. We have been very short staffed this spring due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but with a lot of hard work from the full-time maintenance staff and some help from the golf professional staff, we are in good early season condition.
The majority of this work has been accomplished inhouse with our excellent staff. I would like to recognize Championship Course Assistant Superintendent George Fitch, Mountain Course Assistant Superintendent Jose Luis Torres, and Maintenance Foreman Martin Olivares in particular for their outstanding work and relentless efforts throughout the winter and spring battling Mother Nature to help get the courses into good playable condition. We look forward to seeing you on the golf courses soon!
Jeff Clouthier
Certified Golf Course Superintendent
The fall of 2019 and spring of 2020 were focused on projects that improved the player experience as well as the infrastructure of the golf courses. Listed below are some of the projects completed or in progress since September 2019:
Championship Course: • Bunker drainage and sand replacement on holes 10, 11, 12, and 13 • Built new red tees on holes 1, 5, 6, and 10 • Installed some split rail fencing to reroute traffic and enhance aesthetics • Free span bridge installed on #14 to replace the old failing culverts • Numerous irrigation improvements • Extensive tree removal

TENNIS & PICKLEBALL
Tennis Center
incline village pickleball Pickleball Returns With Restrictions By Beverly Keil Last fall we stowed the outdoor pickleball nets after a very successful summer with people dinking, slamming and laughing on up to eight courts at a time, seven days a week during drop-in play. Over 60 new players took introductory lessons, competitive and advanced players participated in round robin tournaments, and extra tables were needed at biweekly BBQ social events. What a season!
4. All players move to the kitchen lines and engage in a dinking rally, adding angles, trying to pull an opponent wide. Players patiently keep the ball traveling low over the net until one player makes the mistake of hitting a ball too high. You seize the moment and slam it at his feet or behind her. Good for you.
HOLM
What’s wrong with textbook play? It doesn’t consider the real world where someone always goes off script! That’s what makes pickleball so much fun. You have a short time to react and anything can happen. You learn to expect the unexpected.
Come summer 2020, our world has changed. Pickleball has returned, though you will see some changes to comply with reality and social distancing guidelines. We cannot give you a drop-in play schedule at this time since drop-in encourages mixing, not distancing. However, the courts are open for personal play and practice drills. Arrange to meet a friend and get back into the game. For the latest pickleball schedule information, call the Tennis/Pickleball Center at 775.832.1235 or email: inclinepickleball@gmail.com
Playing Tip: This scenario is textbook pickleball— the way the top players do it: 1. The server executes a deep serve, then stays back with his partner waiting for the return of serve. 2. The receiver hits a deep return after the serve bounces. 3. A player on the serving team waits for the bounce, then hits the next shot soft and short to land in the opponent’s kitchen. That’s called the 3rd shot drop.

parks & recreation updates Since our Spring 2020 “Activities Guide” edition of the IVGID Quarterly went to press back in mid-March, a lot has changed in the world. As you can probably guess, the new COVID-19 restrictions put in place by our state and county governments have severely impacted the programs, classes, clinics, camps and group events that we hoped to offer throughout the summer. While there is still quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding what programs and events we will be able to host this season, the list below contains status updates on the programs listed in the Activity Guide edition, with new safety restrictions in place to ensure everyone stays healthy. Please visit InclineRecreation.com for details on those programs, classes and events that are going forward with modifications, as well as those currently on hold until we have more information.

look up remote wellness As the world adjusts to the ongoing reality of social distancing and gradual reopening of important public spaces and community events, the staff at the Incline Village Recreation Center have put together a new series of “Look Up” remote wellness and recreation programming designed to foster healthy lifestyles and community connections during the COVID-19 crisis. The free online content series offers fitness classes, nutrition lectures, personal training tips, children’s programs, golf tips and community messaging for Recreation Center members, local residents and the extended Incline Village/Crystal Bay community. “Our goal with the Look Up programming is to promote a holistic approach to wellness during these unprecedented times,” said Shelia Leijon, Fitness, Health and Wellness Manager at the Incline Village Recreation Center.
Parks&Rec
“The Rec Center has long been referred to as the heart of our community because of all the great community classes and programming we provide; so we felt a real urgency to maintain that role, even if we have to switch to an online model for delivering our programming.” The Look Up remote wellness and recreation programming includes a library of prerecorded videos that community members can view at their leisure, as well as a schedule of live-streamed programming where participants can interact with the presenters. Please note: It is recommended that you consult your physician or health care professional before beginning any fitness program. When participating in any exercise or exercise program, there is the possibility of physical injury. If you engage in any of the remote wellness exercise programs, you agree that you do so at your own risk.
Create a backyard retreat perfect for quiet time, family time, lounging, outdoor dining or evenings spent around the firepit. We have what you need.

Additionally, I want to thank my colleagues on the Board for adopting our 2020/2021 budget. After countless meetings over these last several months we were able to prioritize our capital projects and tighten up our overall operations utilizing the valuable input from our concerned citizenry. We will be rolling out this information in a timely manner and will be having a workshop in July that fully fleshes out the CIP for the next 5 years. Exciting opportunities are anticipated! I would also like to personally thank Indra and his team for going above and
beyond during this wild roller-coaster ride of a pandemic. As always, I as the Board Chair and we as your Board of Trustees look forward to hearing from each and every one of our residents on how IVGID can better meet the needs of the community.
