Wolves at Shoreline?

Yes, we have “wolves” at Shoreline! Well…sort of. Two artificial wolves were recently purchased and put out on the course to assist in the continuing effort to control the bird population. Steve Crane, Golf Course Superintendent, reports the birds have been avoiding the areas where the wolves are located -- good news!

Bridge Over Permanente Creek

The opening of the new bridge over Permanente Creek has improved traffic circulation at the course. The approach to the bridge on the east side of the creek, however, is not working as well as anticipated. We are in the process of looking into some minor modifications to improve the situation.

Demo Day

The popular Shoreline Golf Links Demo Day Sale was held on Saturday, April 22, 2006. Seventeen vendors, including Titleist, Taylor Made, Ping, Calloway, Ben Hogan, Tour Edge, Top Flight, Cleveland, Sun Mountain, Adidas and others, were on hand with the latest in 2006 clubs and products. The event started at 10:00 a.m., ended at 4:00 p.m. and was a big success.

Dirt Haul

The contract with the dirt hauler is in place and we are ready to go. Unfortunately, the rain delayed our start date. We hope to begin work on the initial projects in May. The back of the 18th by the instructional tent is the first priority, with improvements to #13 following.
