The Royal Hospitality Group has

launched a new event ticket website to

make buying sports, concert or theater

tickets even easier and less expensive.

And access to the website is an added

benefit of your Royal Country Clubs

Membership! Search, Shop and Com-

pare ticket prices for any entertain-

ment event you are considering, but

please check out our own event ticket-

ing website before you buy. If you do,

you will often find the exact same

tickets you are looking at on StubHub

or other ticketing sites for a lower

price. And, there is never a conven-

ience charge surprise when you get

ready to check out! Take a look next

time you are thinking of buying tick-

ets and feel free to share the site with

your friends and family!

ClubHub is a service provided by the

Royal Hospitality Group to allow our

members with extra event tickets to

offer them to the other members of the

clubs. The sellers set the prices, RHG

facilitates the sale, and the transaction

is handled through your monthly club

bill. This is a service that we provide

at no charge for our members. To sell

tickets, just e-mail or call Chuck

Mycoff and I will have your tickets

included in the next ClubHub e-mail.

I can be reached at

cmyoff@royalhg.com or

The Royal Bowlers

The Royal Fox and Royal Hawk just

completed the first season of our

bowling league. We had 8 teams that

bowled once a month all winter. And

we had an equal number of bowlers

from each club participate. In addition

to all of the regular bowlers, we also

had almost as many members partici-

pate as substitutes throughout the sea-

son. Our championship was decided

on the very last night!

Congratulations to our League

Champions for 2011/2012:

1st Place

The Royal Jewels

Ric and Patty Shillingburg

Mike and Mary McNamara

2nd Place

The Striking Pinheads

at the bulletin board outside the golf

shop to size up the competition and set

up your first match. First round

fore May 20th.

The Royal Fox Junior Golf Program is

quickly approaching. We have re-

structured the program and incorpo-

rated a PGA family course which the

kids will play every other week

throughout the season. This gives the

kids an opportunity to practice what

they have learned in real life situa-

tions. Junior Golf sign up was on

Wednesday, May 2nd. If you couldn't

attend but would like to sign up your

children please contact the golf shop.

We look forward to a providing a great

Royal Hawk Golf Shop News Well it was quite a change from March

to April. It was the first time in 100

years that March average temps were

higher than April's. Let's hope May

starts to bring us some warm weather

and many many golf rounds.

It is GREAT to see all of the new

members we have at The Hawk, let's

show them just how fun The Hawk is

and continue to grow as a club. The

best way to continue to grow is by let-

ting all of your friends outside of the

club know just what they are missing

out on.

We tried to kick off the season with our

Spring Scramble, but due to the

weather we were unable to host it on

Saturday, April 28. It has been re-

scheduled for Saturday, May 5. Please call the Pro Shop and join in the

fun! Once again we will be allowing

you to bring a prospective member at

no charge other than the cart. This is a

great way to meet fellow members and

future playing partners, so don't miss

out.

The sign up is on the board for our

"new" member event. There has

been some confusion over the event, it

is not just for "new" members, it is

open to all members, it is just a new

event in general. With this particular

event, we need at least 40 players. Let's

get on the horn and find your partner.

It is a two-man scramble format that

will be handicapped. With your entry

fee, you will receive a wedge and a

glove. Everyone wins before they even

tee it up! First place prize is a new set

of irons for each player, followed by

drivers for second and hybrids for

third. Don't miss out on this brand new

event! Guests are welcome for part-

ners!

Match Play pairings are on the board

and ready to be played. All of the

phone numbers are listed on there as

well, so call your opponent and set up

our matches.

Jr Golf sign up is on Tuesday, May 8 from 5pm-7pm at the Hawk. You

will want to come by to sign your chil-

dren up and stay for a family dinner.

There will be clothes, shoes and clubs

for the juniors available for purchase

and ordering. If your schedule does

not allow you to join us that night, just

call us in the shop to get your kids

signed up. This year the program is in

for a major overhaul as it will based on

a lot more fun along with instruction.

The program will need parental assis-

tance to help get the kids to play more

after their sessions. We NEED your

help to make it more successful for the

kids. Games and teams will be a major

focus this year to help make golf more

fun and encourage the kids to really

want to play more golf. There will be

putting games, chipping games, driving

range games, physical fitness and of

course golf instruction. Your child is

welcome to bring a non member friend

along with them to the program. There

will be 4 sessions offered starting at

2:15 and each will be an hour long.

I am looking for couples to take charge

of the Friday Night Couples Events. I

have The Derrico’s in charge of it all

and we need 4 more couples to help

out. You will each pick one Friday

Night Couples Event to be in charge of

and make your event. You will pick

the format and see how big of a turnout

you can get for "Your" event. Call or

email if you are interested. Once we

have five couples, we will all sit down

and discuss the events.

attend I hope you enjoyed yourself and

came away with good feelings about the

Vixen Chase will be posted in the locker

room. Feel free to sign up at your conven-

ience. My thanks to the chairwomen of

these events. A lot of time and energy goes

into the success of these events.

Southwest team play will kickoff with

Royal Fox hosting the ladies of the

Southwest league on May 17. We are in

need of volunteers to work that day for

sign up and to ranger the course. If you are

available for even a part of the day it

would be helpful. Please feel free to call or

email me for more information. Our

Chicago District team also begins their

team play on May 17. Good luck to both

teams.

Stacy Bell will be chairing Ladies Guest

Day this year, and knowing Stacy it will

be a great event. If you would like more

We will once again be using tee times this

year. Sign up sheets for Tuesday times are

tee time that you really want, sign up

early. Please remember to post every

round of golf. If you haven't used the com-

puter or are having trouble the pro shop

will be glad to help you.

In looking forward to a successful season I

want to personally thank everyone who

has stepped up to help us. There is an

incredible amount of work that goes on

behind the scenes. We couldn't do it with-

out you.

In the mean time hit 'em straight and we'll

see you on the course.

Pat Laverty

President

Royal Fox Ladies Golf League

Tee To The Green April was not quite like March but it

was still fairly pleasant.

We have had our share of cold frosty

mornings, probably more than the last

couple of years combined.

The cooler weather slowed the growth

of the bent grass turf and the lack of pre-

cipitation has dried the courses out to

extremes. Soon warmer weather will set

in and then we can expect more suitable

growing conditions.

We will be aerifying the golf courses the

next few weeks. We will do our best to

have your golf experience as painless as

possible.

At The Grove we have aerified the

greens a couple of times already with a

twelve inch deep tine machine to break

the heavily compacted soils below.

The greens hold way to much surface

water, lack oxygen below and fail dur-

ing weather stress periods.

We have also implemented a monthly

overseeding program, to improve the

turf cover and encourage better playing

surfaces. This is a "long term" process

so do not expect immediate results.

We want better greens as well as you...

Once again PLEASE !!!! repair your

ball marks and keep the golf cars away

from the green surrounds (Grove).

Thank You !!
