From the GM...

We are excited to be almost back to normal after a year and a half of Covid restrictions. We hope to have a fun and memorable summer. It is a good time to remind everyone of the Code of Conduct so that we can all enjoy our time spent at the Club. Remember, if there is an incident that occurs, please report it to management of the club rather than confronting another member. For golf course related issues, contact Jim McGrath at jmcgrath@countryclubofculpeper.com. For clubhouse, restaurant, pool and tennis, contact myself at kjohnson@countryclubofculpeper.com.

2021 SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

Saturday, June 5 and Sunday, June 6

Ages 50 and Older

36 Holes – Stroke Play

All participants play from the white tees.

Saturday – TEE TIMES

Sunday – SHOTGUN (time TBA)

With high temperatures in the 80's and near 90, we saw a really good green-up of the Bermuda grass. These temperatures will help to continue to jump start the Bermuda grass, but it is important to remember the 150 degree rule. Bermuda will only actively grow when the sum of the high and low temperatures is at or above 150. There may be green-up in the turf, but for full, active growth that allows the plant to spread and fill-in voids, we must reach this threshold. Once the threshold is reached, the plants are able to efficiently take up nutrients and our fertilizer applications will be ramped up. Fertilization will be most aggressive on tee tops.

After 5 matches the Culpeper Senior Team is 4 and 1.

Culpeper - 831/2 Fredericksburg – 781/2

Culpeper – 8212/2 Lees Hill – 791/2

Culpeper – 891/2 Regency Blue – 721/2

Culpeper – 89 Gauntlet – 73

Culpeper – 80 Fawn Lake – 82

After the first 5 weeks the team is in 2^nd place behind Fawn Lake who are undefeated so far. The team has gotten off to a good start winning 2 away matches. The next 3 matches are at home so hopefully, the team can start a new winning streak.

The whole team thanks Jim and his staff and IGM for having everything in good shape for our matches. We are looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully making the playoffs. We really would like to bring that trophy back home to Culpeper!!

News from the Tuesday Ladies Group

It was Birdie time this past Tuesday with Judy Beninati and Ann Lucas both getting chip in Birdies on hole 15. Congratulations to those players! We had another strong showing with 12 players coming out to enjoy a round of golf together.

News from the Ladies Golf Team

This year, the Ladies LGA golf team from Culpeper partnered with the Fauquier Springs ladies to create a team for regional match play. Culpeper was represented at the first two matches by Ann DuFrane, Lisa Rand, and Cindy Thornhill and three players from Fauquier. Last week and this week, the ladies played at Fawn Lake Country Club and the Montclair Country Club. The team won some matches and lost some matches but enjoyed the challenges and the camaraderie of playing competition golf.
