The Cove Opening - Press Release
May 6, 2009
The Lodge introduces “The Cove Golf Course” - A new name for optimum game
LAKE OZARK (MO) - After nearly one year of extensive renovations, The Cove Golf Course will re-open to the public on Friday, May 1, 2009.
The Cove, the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Signature Course formerly known as Witch’s Cove, located directly across from The Lodge of Four Seasons, closed in July 2008 for the renovations. In late 2008, Golf Magazine named Witch’s Cove as one of Missouri’s “top five” courses. This 18-hole, par 71 championship course challenges guests with its rolling greens, 65 bunkers and the signature #13 hole which is now hole #4.
“In our efforts to constantly improve the golf experience of our guests who play golf, we have completed extensive work on the greens, tee boxes and fairways, and have re-routed some of the holes on Witch’s Cove for optimum play,” stated Mark Brown, president of The Lodge of Four Seasons, and eldest son of Peter Brown and Susan Koplar-Brown.
As with The Cove, the Brown family continues to invest money back into their properties and the community to attract visitors and groups to the Lake area. In Spring 2008, the family tore down the old clubhouse building and replaced it with a brand new clubhouse, complete with pro-shop, bar and grill, and spacious patio overlooking the greens to accommodate guests and groups who stay and play The Cove.
“On behalf of my family, we appreciate the efforts of Todd Clark of CE Golf Design in his efforts towards rejuvenating and re-designing The Cove championship course, and are excited to publicly unveil the fantastic results,” said Brown.
The Cove Golf Course will re-open Friday, May 1 with member play in the morning, and public access beginning at noon.

Golf Tip of the Month
April 21, 2009
Get the ball on the ground!
Can you answer this question – what is the difference between a “chip” and a “pitch”? Both shots are used in the short game with a variety of clubs. While many answers are usually offered, the correct one is simply “air time”. A “chip” shot travels a short distance in the air, then rolls the rest of the way along the ground. A “pitch” is just the opposite, traveling most of the way in the air with little or no roll after landing.
While everyone wants to hit the super-flop like Tiger and Phil, the reality is the sooner the ball gets on the ground the better. A pitch is much harder than a chip, and the results will show it! Next time you are just off the front of a green and the pin is in the back, put your sand wedge away and grab your 7-iron. Bump the ball onto the green with a swing very much like a putting stroke. The ball will not go very far in the air, and will then roll right up towards the hole.
With just a bit of practice, this technique should show some immediate results on your scorecard.
