A Letter to Members: Golf Partners Inc. d.b.a. Wee-Ma-Tuk C.C. 15755 East Kenabeck Trail Cuba IL 61427 (309) 789-6207 Dear Member: The 2011 golf year is over and it was a difficult year at “best”. Over-all, I believe our golf course was in “good” condition most of the year. We had many equipment and irrigation problems and the weather was a major problem most of the year. Our food service department was not a success and I realize that many members were upset with our hours, menu and staffing problems. I understand we have problems and we will correct the problems that we can in 2012. There are many rumors flying around and as usual, none are true. Here are the facts you need to know about Wee-Ma-Tuk Country Club in 2012: 1. Weather permitting, the golf course will open on March 1, 2012. 2. Our present plans are to open our new holes May 1, 2012 with the range to follow as quick as possible. 3. Our kitchen and food service department will open approximately March 15, 2012 with the following changes: (A) We will be open for dinner Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hours on Thursday and Friday will be 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. (B) There will be specials on Thursday, Friday and Saturday along wit our regular menu. Sunday we will have lunch specials also. (C) Our kitchen staff will consist of one cook and yes, waitresses to take care of your dining needs. 4. The bar will be open during kitchen hours and more as needed. 5. Lunch during the week, (Monday thru Friday) will include Pizza, Hot Dogs and Sub sandwiches. Our swimming pool is another problem. Our members are “not” using the pool as much as needed. It is a staffing and financial loser. I am open for any ideas in regards to the pool but at this time, I’m not sure we will have it open in 2012. The last item I want to discuss with you and probably the most important item is our membership. We are down in members and need to increase our membership in 2012. We need “your” help. At the present time, if a member brings us a “NEW” member, they receive a free month of dues. I want to increase that incentive plan to the following: from January 1, 2012 to May 1, 2012, if you bring us one new member, you will receive two months of dues free and a $50 gift certificate from the Pro Shop or Dining room. If you bring us two “NEW” members, you will receive three months of dues free and a $50 give certificate. If you bring us five “NEW” members, you will receive a one year free membership and a $100 gift certificate. These membership incentives will be discontinued after May 1, 2012. We also plan on having a membership Drive in January and February. Those details will be finalized in January and be added to our website. Otherwise, I have three choices which are available to me: 1. Raise dues – our present plans are not to raise dues in 2012. 2. Go public or Semi-public. 3. Close doors – Farm land is very valuable in down state Illinois. Tim and I are open to any ideas or comments in regards to this letter. As I said before, we need your help and suggestions. Here’s wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a “Happy Holiday” season. Golf Partners Inc. James D. Petersen, President |
| Blodgett Ties WMT Course Record On July 5, 2009, Casey Blodgett carded a 63, tying the course record set in 1970 by former club pro Tim Sweborg. In the foursome were Josh Knowles, Austin Matheny, and Julian Taylor. The feat was all the more remarkable, considering that Casey bogeyed number seventeen after he pulled his drive into the trees. The round consisted of the one bogey, seven pars, eight birdies, and an eagle. Casey, who grew up in Wee-Ma-Tuk, has played golf since the age of ten. He is a graduate of Cuba High School, Spoon River College, and Western Illinois University. Casey was Fulton County champion in 2008. He is employed by the Mason County Sheriff's Department. |
