Our Interns for the summer have joined us here in the Golf Maintenance Department. Brian Powell is attending Illinois Central College studying horticulture beginning this fall with an emphasis in turfgrass management. Anthony Feitz is a recent graduate of Purdue University with a B.S. in Turf Science and is pursuing his career goal of becoming a Golf Course Superintendent.

We are fortunate to have both of these young men working with us this summer and each have some solid work experience in their backgrounds. When you see Tony and Brian on the course please help us in welcoming them to the CC of Peoria.
It was a busy beginning to the week as we hosted the Maui Jim Invitational on Monday. A full field of golfers along with PGA Senior Tour players filled the day with excitement. Benefits from the event go to the Peoria Children's Home and many of our members participated in the event. The clinics given by the Senior Tour players and long drive world champion/trick shot artist Dan Boever are always highlights for the participants.

The Maui Jim Invitational brings in participants from all around the country and is one of the highlights of the year for our department. The course was in great shape for the event and continues to play well for all of our members to enjoy. It was a great day for the event and even Mother Nature cooperated.
Come out and enjoy the course as it is in some of the best condition of the year.
