A Note from Todd

Dear Plateau Club Members,

2021 has a much more optimistic outlook than last year. I want to start by saying thank you to all of the members and staff. It has been a very difficult year and I am so thankful for all of the member support and staff efforts. So far, we have been able to offer every service allowed under the guidelines and my intention is to continue doing so as we move through 2021.

As you have probably seen in the weekly emails, the dining room is open for inside dining again. We are very excited to have the opportunity to serve you personally again. Just a reminder that it is imperative that we stay diligent in our safety measures. Please continue to wear a mask when walking through the Clubhouse and practice social distancing when appropriate. I also ask that we stay considerate of other members as we all enjoy the pleasure of dining out again. Please keep children at the table and remember to use our inside voices. If you need special consideration for energetic youth please let us know. We will be happy to seat you in the family dining room if it is available.

With regards to the reopening process. We are actively looking at ways to increase our hours and anticipate being very close to normal operating hours soon. The Recreation Center is planning on expanding gym reservations and Food & Beverage will continue to expand our service as long as we remain able to serve inside. Chef is working an exciting new menu to be rolled out in the very near future.

The turf crew is working hard to get the property ready for spring and the Golf Shop is gearing up for another busy summer, hopefully with plenty of member events and youth opportunities.

Again, thank you for all the support and engagement. If you have ideas or questions about your club please do not hesitate to call me or email.

Sincerely,Todd Ormsby, General Manager

GOLF

The winter months are almost over and spring is just around the corner. With it being March, greens’ aerification is just a few weeks away. We are planning to aerify greens on Monday, March 29 & Tuesday, March 30. The golf season is getting that much closer!

We have had some crew changes in the past month. Jeremy Berardi, a member of the turf department, accepted a position at Sahalee Country Club in January. Jeremy was a huge part of the Plateau Club turf department’s success during his 12 years here. I would like to thank Jeremy for his dedication and time here and wish him nothing but success in his future. In February, Jessie Walker joined our staff and has been a great addition to the team. Jessie has 10 years of golf course maintenance experience prior to joining us.

THE KEEPER OF THE GREENS

The turf department has had a very productive past couple of months. Our main focus has been brush cutting. We have been able to clear all of the forced carries on the golf course over the months of January and February. We also, have cut back the brush and trees along the cart path on holes 14, 15, and 16. The team has also been working on: fixing broken drain boxes, pruning shrubs in the parking lot, rebuilt the staircase at #13 tees, and fixing broken irrigation heads.

Bob Thomas, a Plateau Club member, has been volunteering his time in the past two months to help us with some tree work throughout the property. He has been coming at least once a week to help prune trees up and remove dying or dead trees. Bob has been a huge help and I want to thank him for his time and efforts.
