MEMBER-STAFF CLASSIC RECAP
|
|
|
Thanks to all who supported and/or attended yesterday’s annual Member-Staff, a time-honored GN tradition! A record number of 106 Members and staff teamed up to compete in the 9-hole scramble followed by dinner in the Pavilion for more than 150, during which 18 members volunteered to serve our staff.
Twenty-three Members contributed $3,700 toward the staff appreciation raffle, which helped provide a gift to every GN associate on-duty or participating in the festivities. Another $15,000 in scholarship donations were received from Members this year as well, and $23,000 in scholarships were awarded last night to the following 15 students:
Maintenance’s Colin Szczap, the 2024 Garth & Pamela Chambers Scholarship honoree
F&B's Cecelia Fleisher, Sierra Fritsch, Abigail Tittle, & Lynsea Volbrecht
Guest/Player Services' Maddie Duesterbeck, Maddy Kaufman, Johnny Kukla, Hayden Welles & Lucy Woolever
Grounds' David Stralow & Sam Hansen
Banquets' Marco Torres & Jocelyn Torres
CCFD's Evelyn Andel
A special thanks to our Scholarship Committee – Debbie Hammes, Phillis Bluemke, Kathy Garske, and Kathleen Parle. These ladies have generously given their time over the years and announced last night their “retirement” from the Committee. If you are interested in filling their shoes, please contact Debbie or Barbara Karabas at hr@palomaresorts.com.
We are grateful for your generosity on this special day and every day!

As most of you know our rainfall for this season is well above normal and most of it comes in heavy downpours. These rains have shown areas on Palmer 1,2 & 6 that needed additional drainage. In the past week, we completed the addition of new drainage into areas that were holding water and currently, these areas are marked as ground under repair.
We’re sure you have also noticed some decline in turf on our four new greens, holes 1, 2, 6 & 14. This has been due to recent high temperatures and extremely high humidity. Greens 6 and 14 are currently being mowed at a higher height. These two greens will be slower than the rest until we feel comfortable dropping the mowing height. We are also implementing other practices to help speed up the recovery in these areas. As the greens mature over time, they will be more likely to tolerate this type of stress. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work through these improvements.
