Dear Members
As the season begins to wind down, we are hoping for a late Fall so we can make up for some of the missed days this past spring. Our two big projects have been completed and we could not be happier with Spikes and the Irrigation System. Again, a special thank you for all those who made Spikes a reality.
The Links Restaurant and Lounge continues to be busy and business is strong. We are planning on running the same hours of operation during the Fall and Winter as we are now as long as traffic permits. Any schedule changes will be sent out well in advance.
The golf course is in great shape and July rounds were at record levels. Rounds for the year are down slightly but if weather permits this fall, we hope to make up some ground that was lost this spring.
All in all the year has been a success and we look forward to the next couple of months of strong business as we wind down the year.
I hope this note finds everyone well. Thanks for the support and we will see you around the Links.
John Dinnebier

From August 29 through September 1, golfers across the country have the unique opportunity to play golf at Lake Panorama National and donate $1 to Wounded Warriors, Inc., which will also benefit the Fallen Heroes Foundation to support families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of military duty.
All you have to do to support this great program is call us at 641-755-2024 and book your tee time during Labor Day weekend.
The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association are jointly promoting patriot Golf Day. Dan Rooney who is both a PGA Professional and a USGA Member developed this program. He is also a member of the Oklahoma Air National Guard.
Dan’s idea for giving back to these families is Patriot Golf Day. From August 29 through September 1, golf courses at all types of facilities will ask for a $1 donation on top of every green fee received, or in case of membership facilities, for a donation from every club member who tees off that day. It’s that simple.
The money collected will go to an organization called Wounded Warriors, Inc.
Wounded Warriors, Inc. will also benefit Dan’s own foundation, The Fallen Heroes Foundation. The mission of the Fallen Heroes Foundation will be to award scholarships to children of those who have become severely disabled or lost their lives in military action.
Give Back to Those Who Have Given Everything by reserving a tee time on Patriot Golf Day.
