Dear LCC Members, The snow is gone, the birds are chirping, the trees are blooming and the course is open. If you are out of town, it is time to come back! If you are in town, do come to the course for 9 or 18 holes and a meal or cold beverage at the clubhouse. We’d like to send a special thanks to Gary Dilbert and his grounds crew as well as Chad Gilligan and his team for getting our members out on the course during the frigid month of March. Because of their hard work, we were actually able to accommodate over two hundred golfers on the course in March. While the grounds and golf crews were gearing up for the golf season, the clubhouse staff was readying the clubhouse, going through training, looking at service standards and welcoming members back to the Club. Although we are still not in full season, we served over seven hundred members and their guests in March. Our dining room has been bustling as members come out to enjoy the culinary team’s offerings in the warm, inviting atmosphere that is LCC. While we prepare for season, please pardon our appearance as we make upgrades around property. We will be as discreet as possible so we do not negatively affect your Club experience. It is an exciting time at Losantiville Country Club, and I am very proud of the staff and all they have accomplished. Of course, we could not accomplish anything without our membership. Thank you for your continued support and utilization of LCC. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you at your Club. Cheers, Jennifer.

Some good days in March have brought out a number of players already and we look forward to seeing many more with some great days ahead in April. The Golf Staff is preparing for a great season and we look forward to serving you and making your golf experience a memorable one.

The Tournament season begins this month with the Men’s Tournament Club on April 26th and 27th with the format of 2 Best Balls of 4, Net, using 90% handicap. The Women’s GCWGA Team Play also begins on the morning of April 25th with the first of the matches being played at LCC. Our first Guest Day will be April 25th as well, so bring out a guest and enjoy the day at the Club. The Golf Shop is filling up with product and we look forward to assisting you with your golf equipment, apparel, and accessory needs. We will have very competitive pricing on all hard goods and will offer a member discount on all items. The Golf Shop staff will also be very helpful in assisting you with a
special order if you do not see the size, color, or style that you desire. Titleist is offering free personalization and free golf balls through a Loyalty Program that runs through April 13th. If you purchase 3 dozen ProV1 or ProV1x golf balls you will receive one dozen free. You can personalize the balls with an imprint of your name, initials, etc and can select any one or two digit number to be on the balls as well. If you are interested please contact the Golf Shop prior to April 13th. The Golf Instruction rate and informational pamphlet is available in the Golf Shop and on the website. Steve and I look forward to helping you improve your game and plan to provide a wide variety of opportunities to do that. If you have any questions or would like to book a lesson please stop in or call the Golf Shop. Again, the staff and I are looking forward to a great 2014 season and hope that you will enjoy your experience each and every time you visit the Club.
