CONESTOGA COUNTRY CLUB Down the Middle

August begins with plenty to celebrate at Conestoga, led by an outstanding season from our Crocs Swim Team. The Crocs completed an undefeated season, captured the Division 3 title and finished first at the Division Championships. Congratulations to all our swimmers and families on a tremendous year. A special thank-you goes to Coach Kelly for everything she continues to put into the program. Under her leadership, the Crocs have steadily improved from a competitive standpoint while remaining a place where our kids can grow, build friendships and have fun. Because of the team’s success, the Crocs will move up to Division 2 next season, where they will face even stronger competition. We are proud of how far the program has come and excited to see what comes next. In the clubhouse, Chef Jose will introduce his first new menu on August 18. He has been wowing our members with his weekly specials over the past several weeks, and I am excited to see that creativity carried into a full menu featuring the flavors of late summer. We hope you will join us and try some of his newest dishes. There is also plenty happening around the Club as summer continues. Be sure to look ahead at the calendar and keep some of our upcoming events on your radar. These events are always more enjoyable with a great turnout, so make your reservations early when possible. Finally, please take note that our pool hours will change beginning August 24. This is the time of year when many members of our seasonal staff return to college or high school, requiring us to adjust the operating schedule. Please review the updated hours before planning your visit. There is still plenty of summer left to enjoy, and we look forward to seeing you around the Club throughout August.

MAKING THE MOST OF AUGUST AT CONESTOGA

Happy August! I love it when the sports channels start talking about football camps. That means Fall is right around the corner! I love golfing in the fall, fast greens! George Ley Irrigation Company is installing the main lines at a rapid pace. As I write this article, Ley is roughly 3/4 complete with the main lines which is about 2 to 3 weeks ahead of schedule. We are very impressed with their work, very clean and very little disruption to play. We have not hit too many rocks at this point which we are very grateful for. So far so good. Once the main lines are done, they will start installing laterals and sprinkler heads. This is an exciting chapter as we are looking forward to elevate Conestoga Country Club to the next level! Please pardon us as we are installing a new irrigation system. See you on the course! Matthew S. Turner Golf Course Superintendent Conestoga Country Club
