over-seed process dramatically.

We hired a company to over

seed the Canyons course which uti-

lized a drop-type seeder versus the

conventional rotary-type seeder.

Drop seeders set closer to the

ground and yield a more consistent

and uniformed over-seed. The oth-

er advantages are the ability to lay

seed under windy conditions, which

usually is the case during overseed.

Overall the process completed on

the over-seed for the Canyons was

much less labor and a quicker ap-

plication.

Thank you for your help and

consideration. Both courses look

immaculate from Oasis members

repairing their divots and ball

marks. Our “divot dude” staff

members will also be out on the

course each day to fill-in divots,

ball marks and clean tee boxes up

as well. We look forward to keep-

ing this course in excellent condi-

tion throughout the entire golf sea-

son.

With brand new grass still trying

to strengthen from the over seed,

here are some suggestions to help the

turf along during the maturation

process;

* Always follow cart signs and roped

areas to help manage the cart traffic

more effectively.

* Two carts per foursome to lessen

cart wear & tear.

* Stay on the cart path as long as

possible until approaching golf ball.

Concrete does not get destroyed as

easily as turf does.

* Always be mindful of wet, thin,

and bare areas on the fairways that

are not conducive to cart traffic.

* Never drive up onto a green, col-

lar or tee box, especially on steeply

sloped areas.

* Avoid abrupt stops and sharp

turns that cause skidding

* Please check with the golf shop if

you plan on going out in the middle of

the course, especially in the mornings.

Oasis Men’s Golf Club (OMGC) Our season is getting underway with many players returning. Our first main competition will be our Member-

Member Tournament which will be held November 13th & 14th (Horserace on the 12th). Our elections will be held

on 11/4 during our stag night where we will announce the winners from all the flights of the Member-Member. We

expect there will be 80 members (40-teams) competing in this event. Signups are currently being accepted for this

event with the deadline being October 31st.

We have added a new event this year which will be our Best Ball Classic. We expect at least 64 players to compete

as 32 teams in a 2-day event. 8 flights of four teams will be whittled down to the top team in each of the 8 flights

for a playoff to determine a champion. This new event will be held December 11th-12th.

I think I can speak for most of our members, and we have only played the Canyons since overseed but I think most

would agree that the Canyons is in great shape and we are looking forward to a wonderful fall and winter season.

With a productive summer

behind us, we moved into

what appears to look like a

very successful over-seed.

The weather conditions

cooperated except for the

hot temperatures hovering

around the first half of

September. The good news

was that the monsoon flow

from the south never

reached here and the winds

stayed light and variable

which always helps the

Director of Golf, Randy Tickner

I would like to welcome everyone back

for the beginning of the 2016-17 golf sea-

son here at Oasis Golf Club in Mesquite.

We will have quite a few golf/social

events for the fall season including Valley

Rally, Nuts & Bolts, Kokopelli, OMGC

Member/Member, OMGC Stag Nites,

OWGA Opening Luncheon, and my fa-

vorite the Member Welcome Back Party.

All these events will happen before

Thanksgiving which makes the next six

weeks go by very quickly. I would like to

personally thank Scott Polychronis and

his staff for the tasks they have been

doing both on and around the golf

course. If you haven’t played either

course after overseed yet, they both

have great playing conditions. Moth-

er nature did cooperate as well with

temperatures cooling off considerably

in the last 30 days.

As you may or may not have heard,

I will be retiring at the end of the cal-

endar year. Kirk Lee, who is presi-

dent & CEO of Oasis will be assuming

the majority of the responsibilities.

competitors and sponsors raised over

$15,000 to benefit the local “Mesquite

Cancer HELP Society” (MCHS). This

year we hope to raise as much or

more like we have each consecutive

year. Thank you for your continued

ficial tournament to help out both
