Hello Members!

Spring is among us and what a beautiful time of the year. Working at a country club during the spring is the BEST! It is a time when all our members start coming back up to the course after the long, cold months. We can’t wait for the longer days, greener grass, and warm weather to welcome you all back to the Club.

This is also a perfect time to invite your friends out to Shadow Hawk! If you have a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor who you think would make a great member, please let me know. We would love to extend a Spring Time invitation on your behalf to join the club! Shadow Hawk currently has 1 membership opening available before we go back to the waitlist. However, even when we are on a waitlist, we would love to speak with you about your guests and the future openings that may arise from time to time.

Can’t wait to see you and your friends at the Club!

Thank you and thank you for being a member at Shadow Hawk!

We announced that the main entrance gates and access system will be under construction. The gate and access control company has ordered all of the equipment and is preparing to start modifications and construction. Please be prepared when entering the property that we will have workers in this area for several weeks.

We are finalizing other capital projects for the property and will be sending out additional information concerning what is planned and the schedule for each one of those projects.

Maurilio Gill in the Men’s Locker Room has been selected as the Employee of the Month for March.

His attitude and willingness to serve members and his other teammates is what makes him special. He is always in a good mood and loves his job and taking good care of all our members! Congratulations Maurilio!

Wishing you all the best!

GOLF TURF TALK

Brad Seiler

I would like to take a moment and thank everyone for their generous and heartfelt welcoming to the Shadow Hawk and Black Hawk families. My family and I are truly blessed for this amazing opportunity. I am super excited to be here and for what the future holds for all of us.

April is historically a transitional month in Agronomy. We typically are giving Winter a “not soon enough” sendoff, and welcome more warm and stable temperatures. As we like to say in Agronomy, “it’s go time”! As soil temperatures stabilize and climb to more conducive growing conditions throughout the month, we will see our turf really respond to all the things we have done to overwinter and prepare for Spring. This month our cultural practices, such as vert-cutting, grooming, brushing, spot aerification or venting, etc. will be elevated to stimulate the plant and encourage new growth. Our nutritional and soil programs will become more aggressive now that the plant’s ability to uptake and utilize nutrients will increase.

As a new era is beginning here at Shadow Hawk and Black Hawk. Rest assured that my team and I are fully committed and driven to create a long-term, sustainable culture, which in turn produces a “Remarkable” and consistent product that all of us will be proud of.

On behalf of myself and our Agronomy team, we thank you for your patience and continued support.
