Hello GSVPOA Members,
Greetings from the GSVPOA Golf Shop! As we pass the middle of golf season, I am happy to see the continued good weather and players on both courses. The maintenance crew has been working hard to keep our courses in better shape than last year.
The golf staff and starters are also working hard to provide premium service to our members and guests and collecting the correct revenue. I am happy to report that The Haven is open for business. They are offering BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, chili dogs, pepperoni rolls, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, chips, candy, beer, wine and soda.
We had our 2021 couple’s shotgun on July 18, and we had over 40 members playing.
Congratulations to the overall net winners Dick and Joy Schambach!
A big thanks to the Fulbright’s and other members who helped with the couple’s event. I also wanted to remind everyone to continue posting their scores on the GHIN system and if anyone needs help let me know. We are continually trying to update our current GHIN roster for future events and handicapping purposes.
For those players that rent carts at Woodhaven or resort carts for Stonehaven we will be asking that all players double up again. This will also minimize extra cart traffic on our courses to maintain good playing conditions.
The last item I would like to discuss is pace of play. A reminder to everyone please allow faster players to play through. The best way to keep good pace is to stay directly behind the group in front of you and not just directly in front of the group behind you…..
Our GSVPOA Golf Committee is working on a list of course rules that will be posted at Stonehaven and Woodhaven. These will include proper golf attire, pace of play, and other course rules.
As a reminder, Stonehaven is open Monday after 4:00pm, Woodhaven Tuesday after 4:00pm, to members in “good standing” with privately owned carts and the appropriate POA trail passes only. If you are going to take advantage of this, please call the Woodhaven Golf Shop, so we can put you on the tee sheet and collect the needed round breakdown data.
Happy Golfing,

GSVPOA Members:
As golfers, a small amount of your time and attention can go a long way in helping to maintain high-quality putting greens. Repairing ball marks on the putting greens is an easy way to make a major impact.
Here are five things from the USGA that every golfer should know about repairing ball marks:
1. The proper technique for ball mark repair is easy and fast. Insert the ball mark repair tool behind the ball mark and gently pull the top of the tool toward the center of the indention. Avoid using a lifting or twisting motion because this can damage the roots. Once you have finished pulling turf in toward the center, gently tamp the area down with your putter to create a smooth, firm surface.
2. Unrepaired ball marks cause lasting problems. Failing to repair a ball mark may seem like a minor oversight, but there are lasting consequences. Unrepaired ball marks can take several weeks to heal during which time they can cause putts to bounce off line. The damage to the putting surface is also an entry point for weeds that can cause serious problems. By contrast, properly repaired ball marks can heal in as little as 2 days. Leaving a much better surface for you to putt on.
3. Certain Putting greens are more vulnerable to ball marks than others. Any putting green that typically receives high, lofted approach shots will be more susceptible to ball marks. The putting greens on par-3 holes are a perfect example. If you recognize that a putting green is prone to damage from ball marks, it is important to be mindful of repairing your own ball mark and a few unrepaired ones nearby as well.
4. Soft conditions mean more ball marks. When putting greens are wet or soft, ball marks will be more of an issue. This is just one of the reasons why golf course superintendents work hard to promote firm playing conditions with aeration, topdressing and other maintenance practices. If excessive thatch accumulates beneath the putting surface, ball marks and other turf issues will be more problematic.
5. Almost any tool can be used to successfully repair a ball mark. Many different tools have been created to repair ball marks, including single pronged and fork-shaped tools. Almost any pointed tool including a golf tee, can be used to effectively repair a ball mark. The golf shop at Woodhaven has a good selection of ball mark repair tools. Using the proper technique is the key to success.
Repairing ball marks is one of the easiest ways that golfers can help improve the playing conditions on our golf course. After hitting a great shot onto the putting green, fixing your ball mark and a couple nearby is an excellent way to celebrate.
Thank You,
Nathan Armstrong, Class A

After the tragic death of Rick Flowers, his friend Cuffy York started a drive to raise money to purchase Defibrillators for use in our community. In July over 25 members of the POA Office Staff, Golf Staff and Glade Security were trained in CPR and the use of an AED.
The POA would like thank Jan-Care for providing the training and helping with the purchase of the AEDs.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who contributed to another successful Community Sale. The booth sponsored by the various women’s groups in Glade Springs smashed our record for the most money ever earned at the sale. A total of $1576.00 was raised which will be donated to Just For Kids.
So many people helped make this a success: starting with the folks who donated their treasures, to those who unpacked boxes, priced everything and organized the items. It was a team effort due to the huge volume of donations.
This is another example of why Glade Springs Village is such a wonderful community in which to live!
