Board Committee Update - Green Committee
The Green Committee is charged with the preservation, enhancement and maintenance of the golf course and works closely with the Operations Department to fulfill their responsibilities. The committee consists of seven members with four appointed by the Canyon Lake POA Board of Directors and three selected from major groups in the golf community. The current Chairman is Valerie Montgomery and the Board Liaison is Joe Kamashian.
The golf course is a living amenity that can change daily and is affected by weather, maintenance and misuse and therefore the Committee works closely with both outside vendors that maintain and operate our golf course. The committee chairman meets monthly with the maintenance superintendent along with an Operations supervisor to tour the entire course to identify and record weak areas that will need special attention. The Committee also works closely with the golf professional for rules issues, cart matters or other concerns that would affect play on the course.
The Green Committee also works closely with a volunteer group, the Tuesday Work Group (TWG), on assortment of projects or repairs that improve and enhance our golf course.
Aside from care and maintenance of the golf course the Green Committee works on larger projects as directed by the Board. Most recently the Committee has culminated over three years of work by identifying irrigation problems and discovering solutions that will improve the turf condition and save hundreds of thousands of gallons of water each year. The Irrigation project design has been approved by the POA Board and hope to see bids early next year.
Another project the Committee has worked on over the past two years is their review of the maintenance scope of work which is part of the maintenance contract. Many hours were spent evaluating each section and incorporating the drought tolerant areas into the scope. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is scheduled to go out the end of September with bids due later this year.
The committee meets regularly on the second Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. at the Canyon Lake Golf & Country Club in the Magnolia Room. It is an open meeting to all members of the community and visitors are welcome. The committee currently has an open position for an alternate member.
