Devin brings a wealth of culinary knowledge and will continue to elevate the Members' experience at The Gallery. He will be starting on December 26th with his first Member event being New Years Eve dinner. Devin is creating a delicious menu which will be released to the Membership shortly.

THE GOLF CLUB AT DOVE MOUNTAIN DOVE MOUNTAIN UPDATE Matt Nuechterlein

Good Day Members, We are so excited for another fun-filled Holiday Season at the club! We are extremely grateful and thankful for all your support as we head into the busier season.

The team is excited to be hosting our annual Holiday Party on Friday, December 8th! The golf shop will have plenty of great holiday gift ideas and incredible discounts for Members to choose from.

The Saguaro Renovation Project is moving along nicely. At this point, all the Saguaro greens have been seeded with our new variety of Bent grass. We have laser leveled and sodded all the tee boxes as well as all the new green approaches. The construction team is finishing up some final touches on the bunker complexes and our team in house is continuing with the desert vegetation clearing project. Our team is very excited about the future of the Saguaro nine and can’t wait to have Members playing it in 2024! We hope you all have enjoyed the walk-&-talk videos online and we look forward to some hard-hat tours with you all as soon as the construction team departs in January.

AGRONOMY AGRONOMY UPDATE, THE GALLERY GOLF CLUB Mark Soto

Dear Members, The month of December will have our agronomy team focusing on several projects and operations to better prepare our courses for the winter months. Efforts to clear site-lines are in progress on both the North and South Courses. Our goal is to complete this within the first two weeks of the month. Once completed, we will begin work on walk-paths. Our mowing height of cut on our fairways, tees and approaches will continue to be lowered until we are at approximately .500 or slightly lower. Foliar fertility applications of iron and nitrogen will continue through the month to maintain the beautiful green color of our ryegrass crop. To help strengthen the plant in anticipation of colder evening temperatures, we will include a foliar carbon source and additional carbohydrates with our regular spray mixtures. Poa annua management will begin during the first week of December with the first of 3 scheduled applications of a product called Musketeer.

Join us for

Yappy Hour Wednesday December 27th 4:00pm To learn more and to RSVP please click HERE! PAGE 5

This product is a plant growth regulator (PGR) designed to suppress poa annua while enhancing the quality of both our ryegrass crop and our bentgrass greens surfaces. These applications will occur on 21-day intervals.

As a reminder, with colder evening temperatures we will likely experience frost delays. Our team will do our best to mitigate the length of each frost delay and get our members on the courses as quickly as possible without damaging our turf.

We will work with the golf shop to effectively communicate any changes and/or updates in delays.

We hope to see you golfing on the course soon!

Mark Soto Director of Agronomy The Gallery Golf Club
