On February 28, 2003 Arnold and Ed Lange sold the golf course to the Birimcombe family; Dave Sr., Joyce, Dave Jr., and Stacey. We are very pleased with this sale and we will work very hard to make this golf course more enjoyable for the existing members and for the new members, who wish to become a part of Springwater Golf Course, notes Dave Birimcombe Sr. We have been members for approximately 12 years and we realize that the course has been getting better every year and we intend to increase the quality of your golf course to a much higher level. As members you will respect the fact that we cannot do all the improvements in 1 or 2 years and we know that. We have developed a five year plan that consists of many improvements that are needed to improve the course. For the 2003 golf season, we are going to finish the pre-existing work which was started and due to the weather conditions at the start of last year did not get completed. We are in the process of buying a range ball picker which will help us to ensure the range balls are picked up in a expedited manner allowing the range to be available all day 7 days a week. The range will also be cut on Sunday evenings so the range can be used when you come out for your round. In the fall of 2003, we will be constructing targets on the range which will give the users a more realistic view of where their ball, direction and distance, is going. New bunker sand will be installed in the existing bunkers and as the season progresses we will install drainage in these bunkers. We are also in the process of obtaining a bunker machine to maintain these bunkers on a daily basis. We will be finishing up the new tee areas around hole number 12 and providing drainage around the back of hole number 11’s green. In addition, we will be cutting down a few trees around the course which will please a great many of the golfers. Our other plans in the next few years include the lengthening of a few of the tee blocks, and enlarging three greens (#5, #13, and #15). We are in the process of consulting with our maintenance staff on these ideas. All options are being looked into to ensure that we maintain a minimum level of inconvenience for the users of Springwater Golf Course. We will also be making improvements to the areas of the golf course which are not quite as noticeable to the members and the guests of Springwater. Now after me telling you about what we are going to do let me mention who is going to be a part of these developments, in case some of the members or guests at Springwater do not know us. Our family members will each be taking an active role in the success and development of Springwater Golf Course along with the expertise of our staff. Dave Sr. and Dave Jr. will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the golf course. Joyce will be in charge of all the office management. Stacey will be handling all public relations, and organization of the kitchen and lounge. We, the Birimcombe family and the staff, hope to make your golfing experience at Springwater a pleasant and fun experience. We will do our utmost to make this happen. As this is our first year in the golf course business we are only human and will probably make a few small mistakes which we hope will not inconvenience your time at Springwater. We hope the members and guests will express their constructive ideas to help us make Springwater a great place to play golf. David Jr., Joyce, Stacey, and I have made a commitment to improve the golf course; we are ready and willing to “Accept the challenge”. We look forward to meeting all of our members and guests in the near future. Thank you, Dave Birimcombe Sr. |
