July 2, 2009 LPN Newsletter




Dear Members:

First of all, happy 4th to all members and I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday weekend. The golf course is almost booked full with tee times and with a reception on Saturday night, the LPN should have a busy weekend.

The LPN is half way thru the 2009 calendar year and thanks to your continued support your organization is doing well despite the rough economic times. Your golf course has seen an increase in rounds played so far this year and the restaurant is having another successful year with more meals served. If conditions remain the same, I anticipate rounds played during 2009 to top 26,000.

The golf course continues to remain in great condition and I played last evening in league. The conditions are ideal and I might add that the greens are rolling the best I have seen in a long time. I congratulate Dan Wollner and Brandon Waddle for their superb job on the course. Tees, fairways, and greens are in great shape and the break in the heat should do nothing but help course conditions in the near future.

Summer is in full swing and I hope all can enjoy the course and the wonderful amenities we have here at the lake.

Keep it in the short grass.

Sincerely,

John Dinnebier
General Manager/Director of Golf

June 15, 2009 LPN Newsletter





Dear Members:

I sure hope the rains stop and the weather warms as we enter the summer season. Business on the course and restaurant continues to be good with a wide variety of member and guest events. A Special thanks to Barry Monaghan and Guthrie County State Bank for their continued sponsorship of our Annual Member / Guest. Thanks to all players for their participation. Forty teams competed both Saturday and Sunday, the first weekend of June, which resulted in a record turnout for this annual event.

As you have seen the golf course is in great condition, although extremely wet in some areas. Until things dry out, if I could ask that all players spend as much time as possible on the golf cart paths. Please check in or call the pro shop to be informed of daily cart path restrictions. This will help with future turf conditions and I know Dan and Brandon would appreciate the support.

Our busy season is upon us and despite the tough economic times, Lake Panorama National is doing well. It is because of your support that I can say rounds played so far this season are ahead of last year and the Links Restaurant is having another banner year. Thanks for all you do and your support. I look forward to seeing all of you at the LPN soon.

Find the Fairways.

Sincerely,

John Dinnebier

2009 Golf Memberships:

Your LPN Staff is preparing for another exciting year and looking forward to serving all of you in 2009. Our facility will host numerous Member events just for you and a number of PGA, Senior PGA TOUR, IGA, IWGA, Collegiate and Iowa High School competitions, corporate and charitable outings. Once again, proving LPN is one of the finest facilities in Iowa and is undeniably the choice for those who value a membership that has so much to offer.

As you know, an active membership relies on the support of its members. Your membership is an investment for LPN’s future and we believe an investment that demands a return. That is why the Staff at LPN is working diligently to ensure your 2009 golf season will be the best one ever!

Your Staff is once again accepting a limited amount of Special Memberships as part of our 2009 Membership Drive. This Membership applies to those who were not LPN Members in 2008. This is an excellent opportunity for you to invite new members to our community and have them come to the same conclusions that we have—LPN is a great place to be a Member! You will receive a $50 credit for every new membership you sign-up during the membership drive. You will also receive 2 free rounds of golf upon receipt of your 2009 membership application and payment. You may use these rounds to recruit new members.

In addition to the Special Membership, we are continuing the offer of Distance Memberships for 2009. This Membership applies to those who are not LPA Members and do not have a residence within 18 miles of LPN.

We have finalized our 2009 reciprocal agreements with the following golf courses:

Ames Golf & Country Club
Lake Creek Country Club
Carroll County Club
Fort Dodge Country Club
Indianola Country Club
Brairwood Country Club

The reciprocal agreement is another great benefit of being a LPN Member as it only costs you $15.00 to play any of these golf courses. We hope you take advantage of this great perk in 2009.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the staff if you have questions regarding memberships. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support of LPN as we move into another season.

Friday Couples:

The next Friday Couples is scheduled for Friday, June 26 and the format for the night is Peoria Handicap.

Couples will play a 4-Person Best Shot. The golf staff will select 2 holes which will be used to determine your team handicap. After your round, the golf staff will multiply the amount over par on the selected holes by two and this will equal the handicap to be deducted. Example: A team is 2 over par on the selected holes x 2 = 4 handicap. If the team scores a gross 37, their adjusted Net Score will be 33. Their will be one gross winner and all other prizes will be based on Net Scores.

Please sign up in the pro shop or by calling 641-755-2024. You may pick your foursome or the pro shop staff will create the teams if necessary.

Afterwards, enjoy great food and drinks up at the Links and wait to see if you won gift certificates when the staff announces the winning couples.
