 All right, very good. Well, thank you everybody. Appreciate you again joining here this evening We have a quorum so motion to move our meeting all right, we can We can move into Approval of the agenda. Hope you all had a chance to take a look at that. I Don't have anything to add there. So motion to approve the agenda Approval of the previous month's minutes. I Didn't see any changes or additions there that were required. Do we have a motion to approve? I move they be approved Second all in favor Okay, and two communications from our pros Brian, how about you up first? Put you on the spot. All right Sounds good. All right sunset for March Revenue wise we were projected around 32,788 actual came in about 18,430 $23 excuse me rounds actual or excuse me projected rounds for March were about 1493 came in actuals around 1072 and I think one of the one of the real considerations to why it was down that was that You know that little blue Kind of pummeled all of us for a while there. We were we were starting off really good for the year and I mean even when we were when we're open like yesterday today Saturday Super busy So I have I'm really excited for April for March or excuse me May June July these summer months to Really kick it into high gear But yeah, March was a little was a little tough for us. It looks like Yep, understood Any questions for right Sam? I'll go ahead. That's okay. Sam you go that yeah, I would echo Ryan I think we were only open 11 days We had actual 11 days open in March So I mean it wasn't the best one the best month And I think Ryan may even have less than that because sunset had a hard time uncovering Because of number two and number one and those north-facing slopes. So at Twin Peaks, we were 71,000 for March and probably that's a little bit inflated since Ryan wasn't open and we probably sold a few more season passes And we would have because people go to one course to buy them and they go to the course. It's open. So We're projected to 37 made 71 88. It's good month. This has been a good month, but again, we've only been open I counted today 14 days something like that So it's really There were the weather has been tough It's certainly been a challenge, but we've certainly needed the moisture and that hopefully gets us in a good spot As far as having enough water to get through the summer. We played 1600 rounds for the month Which was, you know, pretty good, but not great, but for 11 days, that's pretty good So I mean, we've been trying my my man Ryan there the other Ryan that is Ryan hitting tilt today We've been trying to get the greens airfied now for about three weeks in a row. We still haven't got it done. So And and to him to him and his team. They're doing such a good job just trying to reschedule and he's communicated with me and we try to get communications out to everybody and It's been tough because we're trying to fill the golf course, but yet we're trying to get it airfied and we don't want to upset customers So it's it's a balancing act course, but we're getting through it and he's doing a great job good Any questions for Twin Peaks No, all right, thank you Keith Okay, yeah, just to kind of echo with with Keith and Ryan You know, we're only opened up open 10 days, but when we're when the weather's good, we're busy This past weekend We were cranking at 229 rounds on Saturday and 268 on Sunday, which is Which is amazing for this time of year. We're starting at starting our tea times at seven thirty or eight kind of depending on frost But we were booked each day till about five o'clock. So we we had two great days For the month, it actually looks good compared to prior year because prior year we closed March 16th due to coven So comparing from last year, you know, we're 102% in revenues And April so far and then you look back and when we got reopened we didn't reopen until 20 the 23rd of April last year. So we are actually About a hundred thousand dollars ahead so far in April So things are good golf is I think golf, you know, is is really strong right now Any questions I just have a question. Do you think that this is for all you guys? Has extending the passes the extra what 35 days? I think it was going to be had do you feel like that's impacted your revenue at all or not? Yeah Yeah Not for you greek I don't think so. I think that uh, I mean majority of people are buying them anyway. And so they just buy them a little bit later Yeah, and I think that the good will that that that it raised I think really made people really happy and thankful and And some didn't even find out until they were ready to purchase and I said, well, you got another 30 days and they couldn't believe it And that really made them feel good. Oh good. Okay Any other questions By the way, uh Keith I did a like a cost analysis for my group on Because some of them are playing uke creek on the tuesdays too So I did a cost analysis for i'm on the break even and stuff for the different age groups And they appreciate it. So hopefully I even promoted a few more passes. Oh good Thank you appreciate that When it when you really sit down and look at the numbers it really is a great value. It is a great value Unless you're having to rent a car and you got to pay the extra penny then it gets a little frustrating Well, they're gonna do that anyway Great. Well, thank you sam appreciate it. Yep um Any public I didn't I didn't see that we hadn't any public Jeff I don't think so Danny have you heard from anyone? No, we don't have any public. Okay. Alrighty very good Um Six old business don't have any old business to attend to seven new business youth instructional golf programs Yeah, one of the one of the uh things Justin drake who Was on our board for one meeting and he had to resign because he was uh His business was relocating him had asked to talk about uh our instruction programs for youth So Keith and sam are ready to share what they have planned for this summer perfect I'll I'll start unless sam Yeah, I'll go ahead uh Twin peaks as far as youth instructional stuff. We do you know number one. I would say we do Uh a lot of individual private lessons from the junior golfers. I give I'd say Probably over half the lessons that I give are given to junior golfers. So And and I give a fair amount of lessons So that's a lot of kids that are getting impacted and that's in my mind the best way to impact them because you can really Make a difference in a half hour hour and they get them going in a series of lessons And some kids just take them year around and uh, that's how they really become really good skilled players To get them to that place. We have two programs uh on mondays. We have beginning june 7th for ages five to nine We have a program called first step And they show up at 10 o'clock. It's a drop-in program. We've made a drop in for the uh Mostly for the parents because it's if you don't have to sign up It makes it a lot easier to be organized and if you're away on vacation You don't got a call and and follow up with us You just show up when you're in town and we work with you when you get there So they show up at 10 o'clock. We do Uh about 45 minutes of hitting balls and when we're out there hitting balls in the range We put all sorts of targets out there and uh trash cans and swimming pools and and if they knock over baskets we And uh, and you know, we we we give them money when they do these things We don't give them candy or gifts and stuff. We walk around with rolls of quarters and dollar bills and And uh if they do and it's pretty neat and they and the kids get really excited I will say every once in a while the the individual who Really really wants to get something and doesn't sometimes leaves a little disappointed, but for the most part They they really enjoy it. They get really excited Uh and then for 45 minutes we do a similar similar thing with putting We'll set up stations and and we're teaching them how to put And we'll uh, you know if they get it inside a You know a circle of quarters and they get they get a quarter and if they make it they get a dollar Wow It works out well for my business because when they all get done they come in and they raid the snack bar which is The number one thing that all children remember about junior golf is the hot dogs and the candy in the restaurant and That that has drawn so many children to golf. I can't even tell you If you tell your children they want to want to go up to the range and hit balls They're going to ask you can we get some candy? So it works out pretty good. Um, and then at the end of it we offer a A hot dog chips and a drink for three dollars for the parents to uh, That way the kids can all sit down and eat afterwards and uh It's really gone. Well, we've done it for a long time So that's on mondays for the five to nine year old then on tuesdays We do the same thing with the starting at 10 o'clock and then But we the tuesday group can get so big You know, we've had as many as 50 to 60 kids show up and um, and it's me and my my you know, assistant steve and We get several volunteers that help us keep the ratios in a good in a good place, but uh We'll get and then that isn't always how it is, you know, but you never know because it's dropping But we break them into two groups and we line them up on the range And then the other group goes on the putting green and then we'll we switch after 45 minutes So we don't try to put it We teach the little kids together, but we teach the bigger the bigger kids into two separate groups And then we you know, we we halfway through we take a little water break and then we switch sides and And they go to the range and the kids on the range go to the putting green And then when that finishes up we offer that same hot dog chips in the drink lunch And the difference between the first and the next step the next step on tuesdays We give them a playing option So they get the opportunity to go out in the golf course and So, you know this year they'll they'll finish the lesson 11 30 We're going to give them a half an hour to kind of relax and eat with in the past We honestly would finish at 12 and rush them through and they're on the tee by 12 15 So this way they get a half an hour And take their time eat their lunch and then we teach them how to go to the counter and pay So this is in in both programs we make the children pay We don't want the parents to pay us. We want the children to handle the money We want the children to go to the counter after the lesson is over And pay the money for their green fees at the counter We wanted to go to the snack bar counter and pay their money for their food just to teach them some responsibility And to help them grow a comfort level at the golf course And so then we pair them up and you know even before they go in they're already paired up into groups So when they go upstairs they report to the guy that's checking them in We're in group one group two group three and so on He puts them in four sims and then we call them out as groups They all pay their money. They have their lunch and then they head out and they play nine holes and and our and our deal on the nine holes is They get six shots. They get four putts on every hole And so I basically as they're going out I I holler at all of them six shots four putts do not get in front of each other Yeah Because safety is a big thing which we obviously stress when we're we're on the range with them too But uh, I think in the last 10 years we've only had One incident And uh, and one, you know two brothers were playing together and one got out in front of the other one And and the kid of course hit the ball why his brother was in front of him. He hit his brother But He didn't hit him in a bad place and it worked out. Okay and I think In my entire career This just goes all the way back to my days at sunset when I took over In 97 there We've only had one serious injury That that has ever got hurt At junior golf and that and that individual you'll see him on fox 31 news. His name is evan cruegel Oh He turned out okay. Yeah, but he got hit in the eye way there So, um, but again, he got out in front of his friends and a friend hit the ball and it got old evan and So anyway, he's uh, he's doing okay. He's had a really good career for himself. So anyway We get them out there on the golf course We make them keep up with the group in front of them Which is we never let the slow groups Let they don't get to sit down and relax and let people go by We teach them all to keep up with the group in front of them And I will tell you they are the fastest league we have on the golf course They play in less than two hours They're finishing nine walls in less than two hours and we talked to them about picking up on the golf course and Picking up your trash and repairing extra ballmarks and Fixing divots and stuff like that leaving the golf course better than they found it So it's been a successful program for a long time and Fingers crossed according to the health guidelines We are going to be good to go. So we are planning on doing it The monday program will start the 7th the tuesday program will start the 8th That's great, kieth June 8th Yeah, june 7th and june 8 Okay Fantastic And that's all we got for twin peaks. So That sounds great. It sounds great. Thank you, kieth. Yep. Thank you Sam, do you have anything you want to add to that? How does anybody follow that? I mean Keith is probably one of the best salesmen I ever met but I do have to say he is also Without a doubt one of the best instructors in this state And that and that is a fact and he is without a doubt the junior golf leader in color and in long months But he does he does the great job We we do golf we do junior golf Is here as well I've done some of the clinics myself over the years. I really don't Do that much anymore. I help out when I need to But trey shee is our he's a pj professional He's been at ewed creeks since the course opened in 1997 He was actually at one time voted the junior golf leader for the pj section in colorado. So He's great as well. Very very good instructor But he does our junior camps. They they pale in comparison to twin peaks But for this year they're on hold we're not doing anything at this time for For 2021 until Mike keeps mentioned the covid restrictions and Hope i'm not speaking out of turn here for trey, but he's he's um He's one of those guys that's very paranoid with the covid stuff and So he's very he does classes and stuff, but he's kind of nervous about being around a bunch of kids So so anyway, they're on hold at this point, but um, hopefully that changes That's it. Thank you Thank you, Sam. Yeah, appreciate that all righty There's no other questions there. We'll move into the new business uh upreak Course presentation I'm interested to hear about this Sam Sam are you starting? Um, who's starting down or me? Danny, do you know Sam or Dan you either one of you Who's running the the powerpoint? Is that nicky? Nicky is Okay I am um Who is starting whose presentation do I need first? We'll go with the maintenance one Dan's Okay, they're labeled Dan Dan Sam. So Dan's is going first Dan is going first. All right. Yes one second I'll bring that up for you Thank you for that While she gets that pulled up. I'll just give a a quick overview I'm just going to talk about the the projects we've been kind of doing the last Um a couple years out at upreak. We started them Most of them back in the the fall late fall We uh, we got going with these first ones. I'll show but so yeah, we'll do upreak projects and um, they'll be four of them So next slide please So that oh, okay, so we're going to start with the car path This is the most recent one that we just finished up Actually probably a couple weeks ago We just opened up the path today because the sod is pretty well established now Um, we're still not going to have any carts drive on it because it's still soft and We're going to keep that uh as nice as we can right now because that was a A lot of square footage just sawed as you can see we later are the company laid over 5000 square feet of sod on the 10 side and the 11 side so We were able to fix up a lot of those where areas out there And then when you see the path you'll see they laid 95 tons of Path mix, which is at 49 dollars a ton. So this project All said and done cost us about 16600 dollars and once we started you can go to the next slide please Once we started doing the project. We realized that the 11 side Had gotten really wore out last year with all the golf that we had and all the single rider carts Really wore out the the other side. We'd only really plan to do the 10 side But when we got into it, it just made sense to to do the other side also So so these are the before pictures you can see how rough that path was And uh all that so then this is when they started prepping it So they actually took the sod cutter and cut all this out individually And uh tilled it up used the the skid steer to remove some dirt And they did an awesome job of prepping it you'll see if you're if you make it out there how smooth and how perfect they laid it so Next slide please This is just more this is their their finished project. These ones here on the left You'll just you can just tell how how awesome that is just that gets my blood boiling and seeing that stuff like that But uh, but and then on the ends there you can see they dug down about Um three four inches to so there's a nice base where the path meets the concrete And so next slide please And then there's the finished product You know, this is this is the beginning of tan over here on the left and then down the middle and then Up there you can see where it kind of turns and goes to 11 to but but like I said, it looks great So that was that was job well done by by l&m Or actually that one was done by g&s solutions So all right next please Yep, Dan. I was out there this past weekend. It looks great. Yeah, they did they did a good job Um, so this is the next one uh eight and 18 lake banks these ones Um over the past 20 years the waves have just started to wash out Underneath the banks and had made the banks very unstable and pretty unsafe for mowers carts people basically just walking on there's You know, they could have collapsed at any time So this is a project we've been trying to do for a while and we had it scheduled for the beginning Kind of of 20, but when all everything hit it just got pushed back So so we started out with number eight first So next slide Yeah, so eight lake bank was Was about 500 linear feet Of shoreline that we fixed up there and that took 254 tons of riprap And you'll see once they did the whole process they did but and then we also added a little extension We did it for our mowers were when they turn around when they're mowing greens But the golfers are going to be really happy with it too with the little uh Extra extra Yep, so you got about an extra 30 feet, you know, it was about 3000 square feet Total, you know that we laid there of sides. So so yeah, you got some some extra room to play off of, you know And we opened it. We're we're ready to let people hit out of there. It's pretty solid right now So and that project came to about $40,000. So so I'll show you some pictures here of all the work they did So next slide Yeah, you can see before and most of you have been out there, you know, how how just unfinished it looked, you know So once we uh got going it just really made it worth it. So next slide Yeah, they came in with all this road base and fill material and just they were actually able to We were able to lower the lake form So they were actually able to get inside the lake the next one you'll see they had to do it all from the top But but they filled that all the way across and then they laid the rock on top of the road base. So So next slide And then this is the extension you'll see it Yeah, it it added a lot of area and it finished it, you know, where the lake's kind of circular now instead of Cut out in there. I mean that was a good look like that. But but it was a safety issue and Probably, I don't know 10 15 years ago. We didn't have one guy Slide in off that bank when it was frosty and kind of dewy out there. So So it was uh, it was well worth it. So next slide, please Yeah, and then you'll see this is where they they laid the rock Um, they kind of would just come in with a skid steer and dump And then the the track hoe would kind of level it out and uh, yeah, they made their way around. So next slide and then oops And then we you creek staff came in and added an irrigation to that whole lake bank because it would In the summer months, you know, that's a that's a south facing slope. So It would get really hot and um, we wanted to add the irrigation to that new area, you know We spent the money to build it up. So we wanted to irrigate it and keep it looking nice We did the whole lake bank. So that'll all be irrigated now and It should have a lot more dense turf on there in the summertime Next slide, please Yeah, and there we are laying the sod so They they delivered the sod up on the road and then we took our tractor and and brought it down. There was probably Six of us or something laying it two guys would would lay it out and the other four guys or so would come and drop it And then there on the end, you just want to really soak it down When you uh, when you get sod down there to get it to establish so next slide And then this next one is a 18 lake bank. This one was 600 linear feet and 304 tons And this one came came to 34 000. The reason this one was less is so we didn't add that bank and add the sod and add the irrigation So this one this one looks really good too They helped finish the whole and and this one was the one that was really getting undercut the worst that we were Most worried about our big rough moor and parts and all that so So next slide, please So this one you can see how all that stuff was already falling off And in the next pictures, they'll show out how the company Actually just pushed it in the ground into the lake and use that as some of their Material to lay the rocks on these guys actually they did most of the work by hand with shovels and stuff So they used the excavator a little bit But but they had a they had a little different approach and and it turned out good, you know So this is them laying the rock here with the excavator. So next slide And uh, yep, they just kept going you can see it in the middle They can see the the one on the left too how their banks They use they use dirt and stuff too, but they didn't use quite as much road base But and then when you do projects like this in in late december you end up with frozen lakes So so therefore the excavator comes in good to break that up And they can get their rocks down in there further So Next slide Yeah, and there it is the the finished product. So so it it looks good both both projects looks really good It looks great from the clubhouse looks great from pace Our 17th avenue. Sorry when you're driving, you know, it makes it stand out. So so it was job well done Next project, please And this one was just uh, this is for us maintenance guys here our uh our old shop here We had done this project probably 10 years ago and it has just been wore out and It was so dusty, you know in our dry summers Any time a car or or any type of equipment would drive through there would just be a dust cloud and An arm mechanic works just over here to the left in this left right picture This shop's right over there to the left and he's like the main road right through there So he would just get bombarded with dust all day So so we got a hold of um, well our safety officer got a hold of our operations team And they came in and and did this project for so it's very well appreciated. So next slide, please You can see this is them prepping it They kind of went through and leveled it out because it had humps and bumps and all sorts of stuff So they went through and then the middle ones the big trucks that brought it in and then they would just dump piles there and and the uh Big big greater would come through and level it out and and they did a great job. So next slide This is the big machine. They didn't Skimp on size of the equipment they brought in to help us out. So so that was nice This thing's got a what they call laser levels on there. So he can go along and I'm not a positive how it works, but it kind of Goes on its own and just makes everything Perfectly flat, you know, and then they the other guys here on the picture on the right would do a little hand work You got to touch up all the edges and this guy in the skid steer would come and do all the small areas That the big guys couldn't get into so Next slide Yeah, and then they came through and they rolled it all they rolled everything The whole place back and forth. They're really compacted down. So So it should should be good for quite a while. Hopefully by the time that that new facility comes Um, but and then they sprayed it with magnesium chloride and and that should really keep the dust down and And luckily it rained which really helps too. So it started to rain a little bit and then all the snow and other rain We've had is really compacted it down. So like I said here, we appreciate all the help from other city organizations And it's going to be great this summer not having that that dust blowing everywhere. So So that's uh, that's you creek in the last few months with our major projects A lot of work well done Thank you. Any other questions? Well Well done Dan Appreciate it So that's not um, Sam Okay Well, while we're waiting for the slide Um, I just want to mention about dan and his crew They do a great job on this golf course. I think you all you saw this course this last weekend, Earl Marsha, I know you've been coming out and playing as well And it's so nice seeing that we're actually putting money back into the golf course This is kind of a new thing for us since Jeff Reesner came on. It's been fantastic um That rip rap that dan dan mentioned on whole number Number eight when you come in when you come in your first impression Of the golf course is now with the rip rap. So you got a great first impression Then you also got a great last impression when you leave the golf course coming down 18 you see the same thing. So it's It's really made some great improvements. So it's it's really nice to see Yep, agreed. It looks great. Okay, so You'd creek operations. Um Well, we were lucky enough to um be voted golfers choice award in 2021 What they do um every year is they rate the top 25 courses in each state And um, we were lucky enough to get on to be a part of that This is all review based. So Because I was kind of curious when this first turn I'm like, how did we get this award? How does this work? You know, so I contacted the company and I'm and um asked some question and they said It's all based on reviews and um, they they sometimes will send reviews out Like you like if you go if you go somewhere and you book it online You'll get prompted to do a review. It's kind of works that way And the next page will show you a little more about that. So next page, please That's the wrong one Oh, sorry Okay, so so a summary of the reviews you can see that Of the people that did the reviews there was 365 And our overall rating was a 4.4 Which is very good about 96 of people that play you creek would recommend it to other folks and um And the reviews were based on six different areas. One is conditions. Obviously the maintenance guys Are nailing it on the conditions then The value of the golf course Course layout Robert Trin Jones the second design no surprise there that that's a high rating friendliness of staff Probably days that I wasn't working no just but um Um No, we do we got a great staff here. I think from uh from our pro shop their stack bar staff our Volunteer and Marshall program. I think the folks do a great job But our two weakest areas is the pace of play and amenities You know the you the uh Robert Trin Jones the second design is a tough course and it presents a challenge and Face of play has been an issue for us Amenities as well and so I'm going to touch on those two areas on the next few slides here. So the next one, please okay, so To give some background on our clubhouse amenities And how our current setup came to be This is the original plan um For the u Creek pro shop and restaurant So if you look at the slide here on the on the far left Um, it says north elevation phase two That's our current current pro shop and that's looking at it from like the first team Then if you go to the right hand side, you'll see Um phase two and phase one That's a west facing view. So like from the 18th green. That's looking back at our clubhouse And what was supposed to be our restaurant The um The restaurant and the original plan was going to be a full service restaurant could seat 144 player tournament um afterwards to my understanding. So there's a great place um In the plans to um, you know promote tournaments and and um and just for our day to day use having um A facility for our golfers, but The funds ran low So the decision was to made to uh do the building in phases. So we did phase one start with that's our current building And so everything inside of our building now is temporary Um, the snack bar area is a temporary setup. The dining room Is temporary So everything is crammed into one small area. That's why we have such a small dining room and why our Our snack bar is so limited because it's supposed to be a temporary situation, but We're still waiting for the funds to get this done however We have made a lot of um We've done a lot of improvements over the years and it's been kind of a challenge for us And I think we've done some really fun things. So on the next next slide. We'll start we'll get into that a little bit more So improvements to the amenities, um, we addition to new patio furniture addition of the lower pavilion and picnic tables and improved food selection Next slide, please okay, so this This is a picture from our um Our phase two area, which is now a patio and it's not a bad thing. It's a great patio Um, the views overlooking the 18th hole in the northern front range It's awesome and jeff. Um, again, I mentioned jeff puts money on the golf course He purchased these tables and chairs for us and they're high quality and they have really dressed it up. So, um It's nice. It's not it's not a full service restaurant, but it's it's really a nice place. I mean when I came in this afternoon um there was about I don't know 10 tables were filled out there Spread a part of course, you know with the cove and stuff, but um, it was it was busy Uh next slide, please so To really like I mentioned earlier with the with the restaurant trying to um sell turning tournaments is huge business for us And you have to have an area That a terminal can come in afterwards to do their awards and their dinner um Course was built in 1997. I don't know what they did before 2003 But the quanta's club donated this pavilion for us And then in 2008 we went ahead and added picnic tables I got here in 2006 and for the first couple years. I was really pushing hard to get golf tournaments And every time I'd fill it up. I had to rent tables and chairs to make it happen So we finally got these picnic tables put in and now it's um It's a really nice place for uh folks to do their work or turn us through their awards Next slide, please The next slide, oh there it is. I'm sorry No, I'm trying to go back Oh, sorry That's all right my fault I got a little ahead of myself there One right there Another thing that we'd like to see happen here um And we were actually kind of working on it for the last couple years this in 2020 We're really going to start trying to push for To get more weddings and stuff out here It'd be a great wedding venue With the with the setting that we have overlooking the golf course um, it would be perfect And the pavilion's a great place for it But it just needs to be dressed up a little more. I don't know what that would really entail, you know, I kind of I kind of picture like some wood beams and stuff. I don't just to just to pretty it up some But the other big issue we're doing weddings for us is it's not enclosed um So when the weather comes in it could be a disaster and I've seen it happen. I remember one time It might even be this one here the picture here, but one time we had it all set up We had all the wine glasses everything set up on the tables and a custom wind came through and we lost every glass um So if some that would be my wish list if somewhere down the road that we can get this thing enclosed I kind of picture Like a garage door type of uh Like a fold-down door something that we can open air then if it starts to get bad we can bring it down but um One of the improvements so um Yeah much better anyways next slide So the U Creek snack bar was intended to be a temporary setup. I thought I had a picture on this one. Um Until the phase two could be completed um So right now we have no fire suppression system And no hood So we're very limited on our uh kitchen equipment We had we we were set up with a hot dog roller um Hot dog roller a microwave oven and um And that was about it next slide please I've got there's one more I can't think um There it is we had an extra slide in there for some reason. Um So without the hood and fire suppression system Our meals were limited to basically cold sandwiches actually this on the next slide Go back up One of the slides got we got an extra slide here. It's confusing me which is not hard to do So basically okay, so we have a sandwich table we got a sandwich table and a hot dog roller So basically all we've been able to really do is cold sandwiches sandwiches wraps hot dogs and brats um We tried a bunch of different things over the years to try to ampump our food service for just the day-to-day customers and One of the things we did is we we tried a gas grill. We put that out in the back of the snack bar So that we can cook hot food And that was really It was difficult kind of difficult because there was no flow to it um So we still use that for tournaments that works great, you know, we have tournament outings We that's what we use to prepare food. We use the the gas grill Um, let me go the next slide now So we came across this back in 2013. This is called an auto fry And what this is it's a fryer that has a self-contained fire suppression system And that that has really helped us a lot. I mean, we're nowhere close to where we need to be yet But it is it's been a huge help. We've got a lot of fun food items now um Go the next slide, please Yeah, this is basically we're able to do prior to the auto fry cold sandwiches dogs brought I gotta say though our brats are delicious they're um All beef quarter pound our brats we do we put a lot of work and effort into finding the best brought But that was all we had you get a sandwich dog or a brought in chips And that was pretty much our only selection Next slide Now that we got the auto fry, um You can come in and have a ice cold beer and a cheeseburger after you're around And with fries it's a potato chips chicken sandwiches Next slide wings our wings are amazing as well I got the waistline to prove it chicken tenders And that's just a common example of what we can do now. So it There has been some improvement made with our food selection Again, it's not it's not anywhere where it needs to be But um, it is definitely better than what it was Which just that one piece of equipment Okay, um before I go into a pace of plays or any other questions any questions at all Okay, um So about Ute Creek again, I've kind of mentioned already, uh, Robert Trin Jones the second design Ruled class golf course, we're very lucky to have this course here in in our long one community Tough course, so it's definitely has been our challenge for pace of play And the next slide, please So here's some of our challenges for the pace. Um We got five lakes that now have riprap on them We got five lakes that come into play on six of our halls um the two creeks that That reander through the golf course Um that comes into play on seven of our halls We got native grass on on every hole which And you'd creep being a link style golf course is really important to have the native grass We we got to be careful about how we maintain it, but um Because the native grass really defines our course because we don't have all the trees. So that's really our Is a really nice feature. However, the native grasses um You know, you hit a bought you hit an airing shot into the native grass it takes forever to find the wall and then it's out of it Out of balance on almost every hole 55, uh sand bunkers. We got multi-level fairways for difficult approaches to the greens Um undulating greens for difficult fighting conditions. Our greens can be tough if we want to make them tough And force carries on several halls. There's many holes out here that you have to either carry a greenside bunker a fairway bunker Cree the lake on a couple of halls some native area Um, yeah, it's tough course Next slide, please So we we we've come up with like five different um five different steps To to improve our pace of playing Some of these are ongoing and some are kind of new but we've increased our course marshal and first-teague reader staff Um trying to educate our players a little more We've added white teas Um, and we tried to do an easy course setup during peak times And again to maintain the native areas in some strategic areas Next slide, please okay, this is a This is a sample of our um where this is our schedule during our peak season And the biggest change that we made going into this season is we amped up our Our greeter our first-teague reader From six o'clock in the morning until two o'clock. So we have somebody out there Standing on the first tee for the first eight hours a day seven days a week. We used to only have that on the weekends But we I think that's probably the most important position out here because Those guys can can meet the players when they come to the tee They can talk about any conditions on the courses that are relevant They can suggest the correct teas to play from um And also talk about our pace of play our pace of play our recommend is should play in four and a half hours That doesn't always happen I don't know what your pace of play was like this past weekend noro, but we started off great Started off at four and a half, but by the end of the day we were we're close to five hours We were four and a we were right at four and a half. Yay. Glad to hear that. What was your it was great Uh, we teed off at tennis It was after the men's club. So yeah, it was great Once the tee time start getting to about the one or two o'clock time those folks start finishing in about five hours because it's You know pace of play is like a one lane road. You can only go as fast as the as a group in front of you and um That's why we have amped up our marshaling so that we have marshals on the course From the first tee time of the day to the last tee time of the day Just to help with uh and assist players Um, how many minutes are between groups team up? and that's a good question actually because That varies from golf course to golf course. Um Our standard in long run has always been eight minutes. Yeah But we changed that Last year because of coven. Yeah, I thought we did We're now at 10 minutes and that's helped a lot as well because it just It just takes some of the pressure off and obviously just makes for a more enjoyable experience um The only concern with that is you know, you're losing almost two tee times per hour So you start doing the math on that that's a lot of revenue Yeah, but our demand is so high right now That we're filling the golf courses up more days of the week Like for instance, we used to really rely on our Friday, Saturday and Sunday times To generate our revenues. We're filling up almost every day. So 10 Yeah 10 minutes works great As a recently retired person out during the weekday One can ask yourself if anybody works anymore I ask that all the time I These 30 something are out here all the time. I think they're working from home, but um It's unbelievable how many How many young guys play Every day of the week they're out here playing. That's amazing Which is great for us, right You know, like we mentioned earlier in the in the conversation where we talked, you know golf is strong And that's been one of the one of the great things from covet. I just hope that That continues For us now when things start getting back to normal, but right now it's great. So 10 minute intervals You know, I think we all agree. We're going to try to stay with that for now Okay Next slide, please So player education, you know, we Speaking of all these new guys coming to the game a lot of folks just don't Know how to play fast golf. So we have these cards. It's like, um Like three like three inch by maybe eight inch And it's two sided the pace of play policy is on one side the ready golf rules are on the other side and This is one. It's a good tool for our For our marshaling staff like for instance the first e-greeter. You can go to that first bullet point And say usga recommends four and a half hours for you creak Then you go down to the bottom of that card and say Here are the suggested t's based on your handicap or your ability, you know, make it fun for yourself Don't go all the way back go up. Make, you know So it's just a matter of getting the guys to play from the right t's helps a lot with the pace of play and Ready golf rules a lot of folks just don't really understand And How to keep it moving and these are just some very helpful attempts to help people with that We've got these available in the pro shop and our our marshals have them available to hand out as well Next slide, please. Yeah I love the white t's. Thank you, Sam You you bet man, and you know, it's you I think that we all have been around golf long enough that We grew up whenever it was three sets of t's red white and blue and the red was for women White was for men and blue was championship So you would never catch a guy on the red t's those were ladies But that stigma is really starting to go away. It's amazing how many guys you see playing the red t's now There's quite a few more that should be there there should be a player for like the 150 markers, but um But having the suggested t's by course handicap I think really helps because the guy can just think of hey, yeah, they're telling me to play from these t's because of my Handicap says we're not we have it on the pace of play card and we have it on this scorecard as well That's good Okay, next slide, please And then easy court set up during peak times. Well Peak times was every day now, but um Friday, saturday and sundays are and really Except for ladies days. We try to keep the course easy on ladies day We make it really as difficult as we possibly can I've noticed that I think you even move in more sand traps We have 55 um But on the scorecard you see the uh, you see the pinch sheet or the or the whole location chart We got one through six This serves two purposes one it um It helps with the wear and tear on the greens. So the maintenance guys just kind of follow that program And then two it helps the golfers to know um We're approximately where the where the pin is at on the greens I mentioned earlier that the greens are very undulating so as they're doing the course setup they try to um Try to find the flattest areas on the greens. So just to make the fighting as easy as possible And then also we try to move the teases up as well every chance we get Next slide, please To me, I think this has been made the biggest improvement on pace of play because I can't tell you how many times I just seen guys out there looking for that five dollar golf ball And just spinning Forever looking for it So the native area we identified a couple years ago the areas marked in blue And we started to maintain them, but we just got aggressive with it. Um, the proposed areas were marked in yellow And um, we are now cutting all of those areas down And um, I think that's helped tremendously with our pace of life Can I ask a question? Um, yeah, have you noticed anything Has result most of people are leaving the pins in is that made any difference at all? It's on pace of play. I I don't really I mean that's a good question, but I don't know. I don't think so, but okay, I mean it's possible I'm just curious. Yeah, because it's that one last step of putting the flag back in so And the rules of golf now you can leave it in as well. So that's kind of changed just prior prior to covid as well Um, that's it for you creak Any other questions That's good Thank you very good Thank you, Sam. Appreciate that. Yeah. Thanks, role Uh, any items from the staff at all? Board members staff No Can I ask a question? Um, two things First of all, just so you know, I I my wife right here moved here about 12 years ago And I live about seven minutes from Twin Peaks and seven minutes from sunset. So I go back and forth Uh, it have been for you know, 1112 years last week I was at U Creek and with a couple and we teed off on four And the man hit a you know, he hit his t-ball and about 200 yards in the air Hit the tree on the right side And bounded out in the air in the street, which you believe hit a car coming by broke the windshield Oh So that means I mean I've been playing there for 12 years the first time it's ever happened But what came up? Was everybody's wondering what you do they ever thought about putting, you know, some kind of fence along that the was a third third street And just have perhaps pervading that from happening. I'm just curious if what's the background on that You're referring to hole number four at sunset, correct? Right, right, okay Um, jeff, I don't know if you want to answer that but I've I've had this come up But I think we went against that at one point because it's gonna cost it would cost outrageous amount of money Well, and I I think it also has a impact to the neighbors we if we were gonna consider that we'd need to Do some real public meetings to get their input because looking out that all the time at at that Big tall fence. I think is gonna Give them an opinion that it's uh It may save cars and windows, but it it's could be pretty ugly looking I would agree with that jeff. I would think the neighbors in the neighborhood would really oppose that Yeah It was just amazing to think about that it bounced off the tree He didn't hit it out there or sliced it out there You know, I had to hit a tree and then right that moment of car had to be driving by It had I mean it was amazing And of course the car stopped and he went over there and they you know exchanged insurance stuff a lot good stuff the other the other question I have today I played with a couple of elderly ladies and They were sort of upset that they couldn't Drive their car out to their car to put the clubs in And i'm curious as to what controls that or can we open that up or not? To drive out for sunset For any of the courses Well twin twin peaks you can Oh, okay. Yeah, and that's how I go back and forth those two that's so I thought well twin peaks can Why can't uh, you know sunset? Do you want me to go? Yeah, I'll kind of give a brief explanation to one of the one of the main reason Reasons to why we don't do it at sunset is on a busy given day for sure like Friday saturday sunday even today I played myself uh as well out there today um We don't have enough carts with single riders With everyone taking single riding carts and whatnot if there's four carts in a group and I've got you know right now we've got 12 rental cars that we get from massac and then we've gotten additional Uh, 27 I believe is that correct ryan? Yeah, 27 electrics at sunset one of which is still down. We're trying to figure out the error code that it's throwing um, so If if we do that, I mean the problem when you finish a lot of players when they go to the parking lot They end up mingling they sit around they take their time It ends up being a little too slow for the 10 minute even with a 10 minute interval But trying to disinfect the cart get it cleaned and prep for the next group. That's a small process by itself It's five to 10 minutes to turn the car and have it disinfected properly So that alone If I've got no carts and four carts come off and run to the parking lot and I have a group that's supposed to be teeing off Now that puts me in a dilemma that I could be five to 10 minutes even 15 minutes behind Then puts us into a small dilemma of well, you've got too many people gathering together That are not within the same household then if one person only takes one person To contact boulder county or the city and that puts the pros ourselves under a little bit of heat because we have our own licenses um for the food and beverage and liquor licenses and if any of that got shut down for any reason Then the city is going to look at us and say hey We've got to we've got to have a different conversation And we don't want to make a suggestion because I know a lot of the ladies that play in our twin peaks Like we also play in the tuesday league Is there any chance that you can hire like a high school kid or something for the summer to help carry bags out to the parking lot? One issue with that in my opinion. I I'd love to do something like that, but um A lot of people don't want others touching their their equipment and with ovid you're not supposed to touch someone else's equipment So um and and who knows by the time May rolls around with if all restrictions get lifted Then that's a different animal We the we'll all let carts go into the parking lot at that point If if I can justify that I have enough cars to survive At least three extra t times so we don't have a delay and and really The pace of play issue would be the next phase. So yeah, no, I understand I'm all about it at one point here soon. It's coming Hey, ryan, I wanted to ask you too. Did you guys get I know you had a lot of damage On the course after that big snowstorm we had in In march it looks like you got all the branches and stuff cut down. Do you have any stats as to how many You know, how much should we move? I think from what I remember recalling and ryan if you want to step in and if you know the number But I think we had around eight to nine Pretty large branches that came down Um ryan am I am I close? Yeah, I'd say somewhere in that ballpark. We didn't count them Specifically since the city's forestry department Came out and helped us clear a lot of the large ones. Oh, okay since they're since um Some were still attached to the trees themselves And they had to climb and use their bucket truck to get it and then they used their grappler truck to haul it away So a lot of that removal was out of was past our abilities but as of right now all of the We did not lose any one tree. It was this large branches off of trees Any specific trees during it and right now they are all Picked up except for a few back behind the maintenance shop that are still Taking out back there. Got it. Thanks. Thanks Ryan. Any other questions? Jeff this is out final words Yeah, go ahead now Hey, I just want for the ones for sam and for tim, you know I live in that neighborhood of youth creek and that phase two is really intriguing because there is no Real bar on our whole side of town or a sit-down restaurant. So If we get that done, it'd be awesome. But um, I want to tell you guys I've been traveling extensively to florida, south carolina, and i'm in california And when I come I play other municipal courses Ours are far superior to anything I've played anywhere else. I mean all these other munis are just a mess They could take a page out of your guys book what you've done with our courses So and then the the other thing same. Is there an actual menu for the snack bar? I have no idea those french fries and cheeseburgers and that am I missing it Or am I I just looking at my focusing on the bar That's what I do when I go to the golf course as well. So, um You know, again, we we're not a restaurant. We are really a temporary snack bar setup with limited With limited equipment to prepare meals. We do not have a menu, but I don't know if you notice in the slides But the picture that we had of the snack bar There's a chalkboard you can write behind the counter there that has all of our stuff on it I never could get past the drink deal for the menu. So Thanks Next time you're right. You got to try one of our hamburgers, man. They are delicious Jeff any final comments? Nope, uh, thank you Sam and dan you did a great job on the presentation. I thought there was a lot of good information Yeah, um, ryan hennings and Keith will be presenting at the next time we meet Okay, very good And jeff for yourself and uh Councilman waters, uh, do appreciate the uh, volunteer gift certificate that was Sent along our way, uh, very much appreciated Thank you for that Thank you. Thank all of you for all the time you put in to help us Thank you all If there's nothing else uh, motion to adjourn Move adjourn Elgar approves or seconds All right, thank you all folks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everyone Thank you. We'll see you next time Bye. Bye. Cheers. Bye. Thank you
