Dear Finley Golf Club,
As summer begins its final act, let’s dive into a month full of opportunities, exciting updates, and a whole lot of sunshine.
Clubhouse
If you haven’t yet enjoyed a pre-round meal or a post-round drink at Harvie’s, you might have missed our recent furniture upgrade. Drop by soon to check it out and enjoy a cold beverage!
With the school year around the corner, Finley is the perfect place to do your back-to-school shopping. Come by to see all of our new merchandise, including Peter Millar, Stitch, Johnnie-O, lululemon, and more!
End of Summer Sale: 40% off select golf bags and shoes while supplies last!
Equipment Performance Studio
Our brand-new Equipment Performance Studio, located at the range, will be open for putter fittings and all of your equipment needs on Thursday, August 15th!
To schedule an appointment with Tyler Currin, Master Club Fitter, please email him at tcurrin@unc.edu.
Agronomy
This time of year, please be mindful when you are in the bunkers. Yellow jackets tend to nest in the sand, particularly around the edges of bunkers. Our agronomy crew is doing everything they can to stay ahead of it.
1st Tee Box Renovation
We are converting 3 of the 4 tee boxes on Hole 1 to Zeon Zoysia. Zeon provides a tougher, tighter surface that can be helpful to high traffic areas, along with better year around aesthetics. We will evaluate the health of the first tee over the next few months and determine if Zeon is a long-term candidate to replace some of our high traffic tee boxes.
Lower Putter Green
The sod on the lower putting green was used to repair thin and struggling areas throughout the course. In the future, damaged turf will be replaced from our new TifEagle nursery that has now matured. On August 1st, TifEagle sprigs were laid on the lower putting green and will be continuously monitored by the agronomy team for the next 8 weeks. We will continue to provide updates throughout the process.
Golf
We are excited to announce the dates for our fall Member-Member. The event will take place on the weekend of November 2nd & 3rd. We will provide further details and registration information as we get closer to the event date.
While you are enjoying the 2024 Olympics, keep an eye out for Finley’s Director of Instruction, Nate Parry, while he is caddying for Ana Belac on Team Slovenia!
