Happy New Year!

---

REMEMBER: You must sign in at the clubhouse before going out to play. This ensures you know any course restrictions or upcoming events that may limit your play for the day. You can also call the clubhouse to have them sign you in.

(See next section below for more TRA and USGA Rules of Golf)

The golf course is in the best shape it's been in for a very long time, thanks to Troy Pedersen and Kevin Pingel and their crew's work effort and dedication. Let's do our part to keep it that way. THIS INCLUDES NOT PARKING WITHIN 30 FEET OF A GREEN (please follow this and also remind your young children of this important rule).

Do you like the beautiful course conditions? Then, help us out and purchase one of these sand bottles with holder for $30 in the clubhouse. Use it to fill your divots on the course. Sand will be in a tub under the deck to refill your bottles.

Do you follow us on Facebook, but miss some of the posts? Here's a hint: Go to our Facebook Page, then find the 3-dot menu near the upper right. Click on "Follow Settings" and click in the Notifications -> Posts sections to choose to be  notified up to 5 times per day rather than the Highlights. Things like course closings due to an event or rain, or clubhouse food specials are posted here.

Thank you to Gene Miller for donating a ball washer to the TRA.

 The TRA is now a GHIN Handicap member, meaning you can join the GHIN handicap system through Treynor Recreation Area for $25 per year. This is great for tracking your handicap and is a requirement if you play in some tournaments in the area, or if you're part of the Men's League. Contact Bryce Poland for more information.

 The TRA Board wanted to make sure that members understand that the cart lease covers a cart during regular play of golf only. It is similar to paying membership dues in that the dues cover fees for regular play of golf, not golf during tournaments or outings. If you have a cart lease and play in a tournament or outing, you will need to reserve and pay for the cart.

Treynor Days starts June 25th with dinner at the TRA from 5-9 pm, followed by Beer Garden and singer Chris Shelton from 7 to 11 p.m.

Sand Volleyball will be held at the TRA on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. Contact Kathy 712-355-2855 to register.

Treynor Days Golf Tournament planning is still in the works.

Follow the Treynor Days Facebook page for updates.

We have a high number of memberships this year, and if you still haven't renewed your membership, please do so soon. If you do not wish to renew your membership, would you email tramanager@yahoo.com  to let us know?

Thank you to all or members and for your continued patronage and support. We may be a small town course, but we have an amazing place to play! 

The golf course will be OPEN this Saturday, August 29th as we are working on fairway reseeding; but one hole at a time will be temporarily closed as work is being done. Please be aware and mindful of the workers on the course if you are playing.

On Saturday, September 12th the course will be CLOSED for aerating and top-dressing of greens. No golf will be allowed this day.

If you can offer your help for these volunteer-oriented tasks, please contact the Clubhouse 712-318-6216 with your contact information so they can pass it along.

Follow the TRA Facebook Page or look to the Events page to be informed about upcoming events. While there hasn't been a lot of tournaments this year, golf is a sport that more are taking up during the pandemic.  There is still a lot of golf weather left in the year and we look forward to seeing you!

Dave Mass recently announced his resignation from the TRA Board, effective September 1st.  Dave has served on the board many times over the years and has put in countless volunteer hours helping to maintain the golf course, equipment and irrigation system. If you see Dave, please give him your sincere thanks for sharing his time with the TRA!

The Clubhouse recently released online ordering options. Check it out on the menu webpage. We ask for a little grace as we work out the kinks to this new system.

Starting Monday, May 4th, the dining room will be open for limited seating. We will abide by the regulations set forth by the state. Patrons are not allowed to sit at the bar, but can have a drink with their food order. 

Clubhouse hours vary, depending on golf crowd and weather; but food service is generally available until 7 p.m.

A formal Thursday Men's League will start on May 28th. There will be an entry fee and weekly payouts. Additional green fees will be due for non-members. 

You do not have to play in the league to play on Men's Night. All league players will start on hole #1 throughout the day, starting at 1:00 p.m. Men's night officially begins this Thursday, May 7th.

Please read more information about the League here.

Please clear up your open accounts and pay your dues no later than May 15th, or pay before then if you go out to play. 

If you have any questions about the amount you owe, contact the Clubhouse 712-318-6216 or Tandy Bailey, Membership Director 402-651-0352. 

With the uncertainty of the Coronavirus, we haven't yet decided if our tournament schedule will go on as planned. Tentative dates can be reviewed on the events page. There are two views of events on this page, a calendar view and events listing.

Remember, all events are tentative at this point. We will let you know as soon as we know more about tournaments.

We wish to stress that group size should be limited when golfing. Five-somes are allowed on occasion with approval, but no more than that is allowed.

Many of the USGA Rules changed in late 2018 for the 2019 season, which still might be a bit confusing for some. A summary of those rules are explained in a short 4-minute USGA Video.

The TRA also has a basic one-page guide for commons rules & etiquette.

  Thank you to those that have adopted tee box landscaping! There are still a few left for you or a group to adopt. Our tee boxes can be the beauty and pride of our golf course and we have had many adopt them over the years. The adoption would require maintenance throughout the year to keep them looking good. A sponsor sign is allowed within the flower bed or landscaped area of your adopted hole. Signs should be no larger than 5x7 and should be in good taste. Contact the Clubhouse or Course Directors, Dean Giese at 712-314-4426 or Dave Mass 712-487-3285.

Sand Volleyball planning is in the works, but plans are to start with the first tournament on Memorial Day Weekend.There are still openings for teams. Cost is $200 per team.

Contact Kathy Klahn 712-355-2855 for more information and/or to sign-up.

 Please follow us on Facebook & Instagram to stay up-to-date on the latest happenings at the TRA Golf Course and Clubhouse, especially for our weekday specials.

 Thank you to Daniel Owens, for refinishing and painting our tee box markers. We apologize for the inconvenience of the missing tee markers, but they are now back on the course to guide you to where to tee up your ball.
