Congratulations
Congratulations to Bruce McKinney and David Day for their Hole in Ones. Bruce aced the 205 yard 15th hole at Eagle’s Nest CC in Virginia. David scored one on hole #13 here at Mimosa Hills.
Mitchell McGlamery and Walton Stephens are continuing their good play from Spring to Summer. Mitchell won the Big I Regional Qualifier at Rock Barn with a score of 70. He tied for 1st in the Optimist International Qualifier with a score of 70 at Catawba CC. Mitchell and Walton qualified for the N.C. Junior Championship with scores of 74 and 76 respectively at Statesville CC. We are very proud of these two young men as they represent Mimosa Hills.
Players from White tees will always beat players from Blue tees if they play to their handicaps. Different tee adjustments must be made to equalize match.

Golf Course
By Dan Winters
The greens healed up very quickly since the aerification, topdressing and deep verticutting in May. Since finally getting a little rain the Bermuda grass is doing better. We have fertilized the tees again to help recovery from the Spring dead spot disease. We will experiment with some different fungicides this Fall to see if we can’t obtain some control.
Other on going maintenance includes our routine mowing, bunker edging and adding sand. Overall the golf course is in excellent shape due to the hard work by our maintenance staff. My compliments to Rick Morrow and the guys. I must add that our landscaping has never looked better thanks to Horticulturist, Chad Wilkes.
By request of membership and Greens Committee Chairman Gary Julian we are putting extra man hours towards better bunker conditioning. It is very disheartening to see the bunkers perfect in the morning and by the end of the day they look terrible. We need everyone to leave a bunker as good as or better than before you entered it. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
