Keeping the Momentum Going Forward Capital Improvement Project for 2019 2023 - Thomson Country Club

Keeping the Momentum Going Forward
                      Capital Improvement Project
                                   for
                               2019 - 2023
Following up on the successful Capital Improvement Project for 2013 - 2017, the
Thomson Country Club asks its membership to approve the Capital Improvement
Project for 2019-2023.

The 2013-2017 Project did wonderful things to improve the club and thereby
enhance the overall member experience. This has definitely resulted in our ability
to increase membership ranks across all classes and keep our dues the most
affordable of any private club in the area.

It’s easy to forget where we have been and what has been accomplished. Here is
a review of the successful 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Project:

    The Board began with a pledge to keep the membership informed as to the
     status of the project and money that had been spent. It faithfully did this
     throughout.
    Removed over 500 trees promoting growth around tees and greens and
     opening fairways.
    Tee resurfacing and reconstruction.
        o Resurfaced Ladies tees on 1, 3, 4, 9, and 10.
        o Resurfaced all tees on 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, and 18.
        o Rebuilt and enlarged tees on 4, 12, 15, and 17.
    Cart path repair or replacement on 1, 5, 9, 11, 12, 16, and 18.
    Other
        o Bunker sand & edging.
        o Six green covers. All greens can now be covered in the winter.
        o Irrigation upgrades.
        o Drainage on 5.

o New practice area.
         o Tree work around pro shop.

While not part of the 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Project, the creation of the
Thomson Grill Room was accomplished in the same period and by the same
means; membership voting approval. Its successful completion was accomplished
with the same discipline and accountability to the membership. The 2013-2017
Capital Improvement Project and the Thomson Grill Room Project are the most
conspicuous elements in the rebirth of the Thomson Country Club and we have
our members to thank for approving it.

Now, the Thomson Board of Directors asks that we keep the momentum going
with your approval of the “Thomson Country Club Capital Improvement Project
for 2019-2023” which is described below.

          Thomson Country Club Capital Improvement Project
                                for
                            2019-2023
The Capital Committee of Thomson Country Club has spent the last two months
putting together a plan of course improvements and projects to be performed
over the next five years. The Committee narrowed down an initial list of over 120
recommendations to the plan that follows which comprises the next five year
period. Considerations for the items were arrived at by looking at need, cost,
playability for each level of player, and timing of funds and chance of success.

I would like to thank the members of the Capital Committee for their time and
effort as well as the representation they provided for each of their groups.

The members of the Committee are:
Chris DiOrio
Walter Hanson
Brett Jackson
Tedd Perry
Joy Santoro
Ken Seus
Chris Young
Jack Weilandt (Chairman)

The recommended Capital Plan is as follows:

grow and enable removal of rocks and roots; upgrade irrigation; extend/repair
cart path; loam, seed, and sod.

a small incline before the hazard to enable faster play and better lies; upgrade
irrigation, loam, seed, and sod the affected area.
