Spring Is Officially Here

Masters Week
Golf season “officially” begins today with the 1st round of the Masters in Augusta. Mississippian, Steve Wilson, plays at 10:29am and is playing with 2 time Champion, Tom Watson and Euro star Ian Poulter. I wish Steve good luck and great play - you can follow him on the web at masters.org.

Golf Course News
We have several membership specials at Whisper Lake and Patrick Farms thru April, so please call for details - these deals are very, very good! The Dogwoods Golf Course in Grenada has just been ranked #9 in the State and will celebrate its 2nd Birthday in June - it's a pretty amazing golf course. Quail Hollow in McComb is in great shape and is a couple of weeks ahead of the courses in the metro area. So if you’re looking for a real treat, make the short drive down I-55 and check it out.

Lake Caroline Update
There is much talk around town about my involvement and interest in Lake Caroline, some true and some not. Here are the facts: I am very interested and am making every effort possible to acquire the course. However, it is not an easy deal to put together and may or may not happen. I have received incredible support from the residents of Lake Caroline and will continue to work hard to make it work. Please understand that if it does not come together by the end of April, then it probably won’t until next year. Many thanks to all who offer support and encouragement..

Randy,

So, I take it that things didn't work out this year with Lk. Caroline?

Randy Watkins said...

This is not necessarily true. The time has been extended into May.

Randy, Good luck with Caroline. I hope things come together. I loved playing that course. I'll be there at least once a week when it's a go

(it's me from the original post)I'm rootin' for you too... I just moved to the area and joined another CC that I'm not real happy with. I think that the local clubs that you've setup here are a lot more of what I'm looking for... I live near Whisper Lk. but I originally was looking for a "non-executive" course. BUT, the MAIN thing that I was looking for was a CC with a solid Men's Golf Assoc. Lk Caroline's right across the street from me and I'll join Whispy and Caroline if you can acquire it! Good luck and keep us posted!

Any new news?

The algae in #4 pond at Whisper Lake is bad. I would like to stock grass carp, cost is $200. Will you pay for this or at least give me permission to do this.

Randy,

Are you looking for a superintendent at Lake Caroline? If so, I'm interested.

Randy Watkins said...

We will be making the proper repairs to the lake soon. Please do not add carp to the lake. We have done this many times before and they are washed downstream each time we have a flash flood.
