Dave's Wedge of Information
I would like to wish all mothers a very Happy Mother's Day! Reflecting back on my own childhood, I believe being a mother can be very difficult at times, and we all need to thank our mothers. We have a Mother's Day special this Sunday, May 12 at the golf courses. Bring your mom and she will get her seat on the cart free, with a paid greens fee as well.
This year is the 100th Anniversary of Ellis Golf Course. The golf course has changed through the years, but it's still one of the most challenging and oldest courses in the state. Various events will be held this summer to celebrate the anniversary. Please watch for details.
Ellis Golf Course will be hosting the CR Mid Am on June 1 and 2. This is CRANDIC Tour event, so registration is through the CRANDIC Tour Association. To register for this event, visit the website:
www.crandictour.com. Let's hope for great weather so that all the players can enjoy the beautiful Ellis Golf Course.
Finally, our annual Grand Demo Day at Ellis Golf Course driving range is on Saturday, May 18 from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to get out and try all the latest equipment side-by-side. Vendors slated to be at the demo day this year are Callaway, Ping, Cobra, Cleveland, Wilson and Mizuno. (Mizuno will be taking appointments for fittings; call Ellis at 319-286-5589 to set up an appointment.) Tour Edge and Titleist clubs will also be available to try.
Hope you all have a great week and take sometime to enjoy the great game of golf.
Hit'em Straight,
Dave Roe
Interim Golf Operations Manager
