Dear ILGC Members - Data Systems Associates

Volume 34 Issue 4
Dear ILGC Members –
Summer DID arrive finally around mid-July and
activities have begun to pick up quickly after a lull
during the record monsoons of May and June.
While the weather has posed a huge challenge to
our greens and grounds team, I am happy to report
that we have not lost an outing or league event as a
result. We have suffered however, in that play and
participation in outings and club events has been
considerably diminished. The only goodness I can
see is that this lull has allowed Greg and his
marvelous team to congeal a bit and fine tune their
operating procedures. Kudos of course to Charlie
and the greens crew who have somehow managed
to keep the course in marvelous condition.
Let me quote from a recent letter the Board sent
to all assessment-eligible members regarding the
financial straits we are trying to work through.
“… the financial aspect of the Club is struggling.
It is apparent that we will need a sizeable
assessment to remain viable. Membership
numbers are improving, though we still have a
ways to go to recover from past losses. Further
cutbacks to operations would be disastrous to
services, and we have exhausted our line of credit
and bank assistance. Thus, it is up to us to take up
the slack at this time.
We feel strongly that the plan being
implemented by our current management team
August 2015
positions us well for success. Members and guests
have repeatedly commented that they have noticed
a positive change in all aspects of the Club. With
continued support, further increases to
membership, and more outings and guest play, we
feel that our situation can be turned around. But as
we noted previously, this will take some time and
continued forward momentum.”
In the same letter, I announced that we will hold
a Mid-Season Meeting on Saturday, August 22,
beginning at 9:00 am at the Clubhouse. I hope that
each of you will be able to attend this important
meeting where we will discuss all aspects of club
operations and our financial condition. We truly
need your input and suggestions, as well as
approval of the necessary assessments to allow us
to meet our financial obligations. In the short term,
we are appealing to the members to pay ahead on
their dues, as well as anticipated assessment
amounts (pending approval by the membership).
On a more pleasant note, social activities and
club-sponsored golf events are picking up and we
encourage you to plan ahead and sign up! We
have some wonderful events and activities planned
through the remainder of our season; support your
club … use it!
Thanks for your continued support!
Clair Gill, President

th
This past month of July was a busy and “wet”
month for the golf club and course. We weathered
through the storms to host several outings and
member events. The Birdhouse July 4th celebration
was well attended and the Disco Divas Party was a
SMASH…HIT. There was a John Travolta sighting
in the Pro Shop as the ladies were collecting their
prizes, or was it Kevin in his white cart suit?
Anyway we felt good about our performance for
that gala event.
We hosted the biggest local golf event of the
year, the 15th annual Somerset County Amateur on
Saturday July 11th. The tournament was well
attended by 70 local players. They appreciated the
efforts put forth by our entire staff to get the course
in shape in spite of several straight days of heavy
rainfall. It was a great for us to showcase our
course to these players who have not played the
course for several years. May I quote a letter from
Mike Jones, tournament coordinator to Charlie and
myself: “The course was in great condition and was
a fair test of golf for all players. The greens were
exceptional. Your hard work and attention to detail
made my job as tournament director much easier.
The players that I talked to all complimented you
and your staff for the course preparation. You did a
great job considering all the rain we had during the
last couple weeks. Thanks Again, Mike Jones.”
The club and most importantly the membership
should be proud of the hard work of our staff and
the time devoted to the event by several members
who spotted for the players on #6, #7, #14 and #16
and starter, Terry Stahl. The comments from the
players were outstanding making our staff very
proud to be a part of the club. We are setting a
trend for exceptional service thus making these
events memorable for all our special guests. Due
to their extra effort we are now scheduled to host
the 20th annual golf tournament in 2020.
We hosted the Stoystown VFD outing on the
19th of July and this outing fielded 72 players. We
are scheduled to host the event next year on
Sunday July 10 and we look forward to hosting
them again.
The Member-Member was played on July 25th
and 26th for the men and the 26th for the ladies.
The Golf Committee suggested we use a unique
scoring format called a “ringer scoring system.”
The scoring made the event exciting right down to
the last score posted! The winners were: 1st Place:
Jon Clapper and Gavin Guarino with a 53. Second
Place was Dave Finui and Tom Wozniak who won
a USGA Tiebreak with Bob Wilk and Joe Yock;
both teams shot 55. Coming from behind to win 4th
Place was William and Brad Carney who used a
last nine surge to beat out Rick Brickley and Bob
Lothrop; both teams shot 59. Ladies Champions
were Allison Finui and Lisa Guarino who finished
with a 26 for their ringer score.
Golfingly, Greg
Flag Tournament
First Place … Jerry Yock, who planted his flag on the
19th hole (not surprising).
Second Place … Bob Wilk who planted his flag on the
green side of Palmer on #18.
Third Place … Brad Carney, finished in a close to
second, but his flag was on the tee side of Palmer.

COURSE UPDATE FROM THE GREENS TEAM
Rain, Rain, Rain is there no end? June 1st
though mid-July, we have had 14 inches of rain, as
opposed to a normal summer of just 12 inches for
the entire summer! The obvious benefit of
abundant rain for a golf course is lush greens,
fairways and rough. As a member of ILGC for 14
years, I have never seen the course look as good
as it does this year. However, there are also
negatives associated with too much rain.
Foremost, the course becomes so wet that playing
conditions are not ideal, plus the “cart path only”
rule goes into effect which makes a round of golf
extra challenging. The wetness also causes
obstacles for the Greens Team. Mowing becomes
extremely difficult, trying to keep the grass at an
acceptable height and not create ruts in the turf.
Our mower operators are experienced and know
where the “usual” wet areas are located however,
there are always new “bogs” that develop as the
ground becomes over saturated. Obviously, the
rain causes grass to grow faster, consequently the
need to mow more frequently. Our rough mower
has been virtually in use 40 hours per week since
early June. The member contributions that allowed
us to purchase the used rough mower last year has
paid huge dividends this year. We would never
have been able to keep up with the rough mowing
without this machine. The major negative impact of
too much rain is turf disease, primarily greens,
since they are cut extremely short. You will notice
brown spots on some greens; this is fungus and is
being actively treated. Getting air, nutrients and
fungicide to the turf root system is essential. That
is the reason greens are being “punched”
frequently; it initially makes for difficult putting, but
heals quickly. This is another case where a
machine purchased two years ago has “saved the
day” for our greens team and allowed us to keep
ahead of the overly saturated greens. A positive
aspect of the frequent greens “punching” has been
the opportunity to over seed the ice damaged area
on some of our greens. Greens on #7, #8 and #11
have recovered very nicely from the TLC
administered, primarily by Charlie, as he hand
seeded bent grass seed after each “punching”.
Going forward, the two major project focuses of
the Greens Team are creating the four new tees
boxes and preparing the “Zubek Initiative” for
4
seeding. Last month’s article stated that our
objective was to have the new #14 tee box
completed by the end of June. Unfortunately, the
wet conditions inhibited us from bringing heavy
equipment onto the course. This remains our top
priority and will be aggressively addressed once
conditions dictate. Regarding the “Zubek Initiative,”
all work has stopped until dry conditions prevail.
Once the Club-side of Palmer Drive has been
addressed by the Zubek brothers, their work will
cease until next year. At that time they will start the
work from Palmer Drive out to # 18 tee box. In the
meantime, the Greens Crew and the volunteer
army will be raking and “picking stone” to prepare
for seeding all the way down to Palmer Drive.
Greens aerification is scheduled for August 24,
25, and 26. The reason we aerify at this time is to
give the greens ample time to completely heal
before cold weather sets in. At this elevation,
cooler temperatures precede many neighboring
communities by two to three weeks. Plus, the
greens heal faster when the temperature is warm.
This year many of the greens will be over seeded
with bentgrass seed, in hopes that less ice damage
will occur next year.
Last but not least, a “thank you” is in order for
some individuals. Rick Brickley was the person
who did the rehab work to get “Arnie looking good.”
Charlie Fox did the design and implementation for
the placement of Arnie on his pedestal outside the
Club House. Larry Holman donated a door for the
maintenance shed and had his crew install the
door. It never fails to amaze me how people are
willing to “step up” for this Club - our thanks to all of
you. As always, we look forward to seeing you on
the course. Don’t forget to wave and say “thanks!”
ANNUAL MEETING & DINNER DANCE
Our annual meeting and coinciding dinner dance

NINE & WINE TAPAS NIGHT
For those who missed these nights out you are
missing out! One would have thought it difficult to
top the first Mexican tapa night but Chef Melanie
outdid herself once again with her Italian night in
July. Between the food, the company and the
weather this was one of the highlights of the year
as it was just such a lovely and enjoyable night at
the club.
Next up is a Hawaiian Luau night for Nine &
Wine Tapas on Wednesday, August 12th. Sign up
in the Pro Shop for a 4:00 shotgun for the 9-hole
scramble followed by wine and tapas happy hour.
Mark your calendar for our final night on September
9th; can’t wait to see what Mel cooks up next!
REQUEST FOR DONATIONS!
We are in desperate need of either wine or
spirits for our basket of cheer. All donations will be
greatly appreciated. Members of the ILLGA are
ready to start selling tickets. The drawing is
scheduled for the Couples Invitational on
September 12th. Please have your donations into
the club by July 30th. If each member would donate
one or two bottles of wine or spirits, we would be
able to offer one awesome basket of cheer! Thank
you so very much for your support of this activity.
All proceeds go back into the operation of a
signature first class golf club. Any questions,
contact Sharon Clapper at 814-442-0096.

THE RESULTS ARE IN AND IT WAS A GOOD
TIME HAD BY ALL!
The first ILGC Night at the Races was a HUGE
success held on Friday, July 24th. We had one of
our larger turnouts with approximately 65 members
and guests …sporting a wide array of stylish, and
not so stylish hats… gathered at the race track.
The “racecourse” of 32 furlongs was set up
around the putting green, with owner boxes set up
in front for the groups who purchased a horse
during the Memorial Day Weekend auction. The
six horses entered were: Yank My Doodle It’s A
Dandy, Rum Runner, Tignanello, Anita Cocktail,
Elmer and Fly Pegasus Fly.
Owners went all out on their horse decorating
and the Bustamante/Constantine horse, Fly
Pegasus Fly, won “Best In Show.”
The first three races were 16 furlong half-track
events. The crowd quickly learned who the sprinter
in the group was as Tignanello won races one and
two. He was overtaken though in races three and
four by Elmer, who saved himself from the glue
factory by winning those races and keeping his
owners happy! Races four and five were 24 furlong
¾ track events. Race five had the most exciting
finish of the night as 3 horses were neck and neck
at the finish line and the win went to Fly Pegasus
Fly.
The final race of the night was the marathon full
track 32 furlong event, the Palmer Crown. Pulling
away from the pack at the end of the race and
leaving the other horses in his dust was Yank My
Doodle It’s a Dandy, jockeyed by Brenda Wasson!
Event Chair Lisa Guarino said “Thanks to
everyone for coming out for this fun night, to Beth
Walters and Allison Finui for helping with the
organizing of the event, and special thanks to Dave
Finui and Mike Merendino for running the betting
windows!” A great big thank you to Lisa Guarino
with an assist from Gavin for taking charge of this
new event and making it so much fun for everyone!
Triple Crown Winners and Owners (l-r): Brenda
Wasson, Jon and Sharon Clapper, Lisa and Gavin
Guarino. Absent from picture: Orland Wasson.
