Coronavirus
Hole-in-One
Members!!
Bob Cram not only got a
Hole-in-One on April 19
while playing with Frank
Haig, Gary Alexander, and
Andrew Baker, he birdied
the 13th, 14th, and 15th
holes, and then got his
Hole-in-One on the 16th
Hole! It was 120 yards,
and he hit it with his 9
iron. In all his years of
playing golf, this was his
first time he was ever 5
under par in four consecu-
tive holes. This was Bob’s
third Hole-in-One, but his first ever at Twin Lakes! Very well
done, Bob!
And what a good day
April 20 was when JD
Fleck, who was playing
with Rob Malinzak,
aced Hole number 16!
Congrats to you, JD!
Congratulations to our
Coronavirus Hole-in-
One winners! Even
with the restrictions we
had, golfers were still
able to come out and
have some fun.

From the Manager
T his spring’s weather has been great for golfing and the
course has seen an increase in players. That has to
lead to many ballmarks that have not been fixed.
Every member should certainly fix their own ballmark and
even one more. I played the course recently and saw many
ballmarks that were fixed...but way more that were not re-
paired. Please take ownership of your course and fix ball-
marks, replace divots, and be careful of cart traffic for you and
every other member. Everyone benefits from the 20 seconds it
takes versus the two weeks it will take to completely heal.
Thanks again for your help.
The course will be closed all day on May 26 as the greens
will be deep tined aerified and topdressed. The process will
help with drainage and will create sand channels for the roots
to find and grow deeper along with air exchange on the greens.
See you on the course,
Your superintendent,
I hope this newsletter reaches you in good health and spir-
its. The weather this spring has been dryer than most and
temperatures are very inconsistent. It has been nice to
see so many members out using the club on nice days. Please
remember to keep social distancing on the golf course.
Please remember that our dress code is in effect for mem-
bers and guests. Please remind your guests of the dress code
before they arrive at the club. Denim is allowed in the club-
house; however, denim is not permitted on the practice areas
or on the golf course. Jim always has a wide variety of the
newest golf apparel available in the golf shop.
We have been doing “to go” food and beverages out the
back of the clubhouse until the city of Carmel allows us to
open the clubhouse. Please remember that it is against the
state law to bring your own alcoholic beverages to the club.
We have everything you need at the bar. We will continue to
update you as we receive updated mandates from the city of
Carmel. I greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and coop-
eration during these unchartered times.
Welcome to all the new members and a big thanks to their
sponsors! Please remember to pass along our membership
info to any potential members. If you have a potential mem-
ber, please let me know and I will be happy to contact them. I
am looking forward to a great May at Twin Lakes. I hope all
the mothers had a happy and healthy Mother’s Day!

RUS ARE LIFTED. HOWEVER, YOU MAY STILL OR-
DER TO GO HOTDOGS, BRATS, SNACKS, AND BEV-

From the Pro
Golf Shop News... Can I Post Scores During This Time? Over the last couple weeks the question...”should I be post-
ing my scores during these abnormal conditions” has come
up more frequently. The USGA has weighed in on several
aspects of the game that have needed to be temporary
changed during this pandemic outbreak. Most of the tempo-
rary provisions that we have applied are obvious… Changes
to the flagstick, removing bunker rakes, eliminating score-
cards and most obvious, changes made to the cups. In a press
release on Saturday, March 21, the USGA temporarily modi-
fied the rules of golf to allow new definitions of a “ball being
holed”. I have purposely avoided the subject of posting
scores in the hope that the Covid-19 playing conditions
would be temporary. As time passed it’s become obvious
that it’s more likely we will be playing under these abnormal
conditions most of the summer. So, we are now encourag-
ing posting scores played under coronavirus altered cup/
playing and it conditions and all other playing conditions.
Let’s get it on!!!! We are very close to publicizing a revised 2020 Ladies/
Men’s tournament golf schedule. For the foreseeable future
all of our events both men and women will be tee time tour-
naments. Shotgun events will not be allowed. Modifications
will be made to formats in order to comply with all COVID-
19 protocols. Once we receive clearance from government
officials we will post the new events calendar.
Thank you Twin Lakes!
Over the last six weeks I’ve had a blast putting together You-
Tube content for our question and answer HOME QUAR-
ANTINE VIDEO SERIES. The amount of positive feedback
that we have received has been overwhelming. It’s great to
hear the members of Twin Lakes have gained benefit as a
result of the videos. As the weather has improved and
rounds have increased it’s been a bit more difficult finding
time to produce videos, however I will continue to put videos
together so please continue to send me your questions-
throughout the golf season.

green up after a

on the golf

leafless trees and
the daffodils in

and the lush
green in the fore-
ground.
