IT IS OFFICIAL!!!!

 

COOPRIDER GOLF MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN AWARDED 10 YEAR CONTRACT

 

As many of you know Cooprider Golf, Inc. contract had come up this year along with many of the other Indianapolis City Golf Courses.  The past contract was due to expire on the last day of  2009.  Though the Tom and Liz Cooprider had been through these contract renewals in the past and knew their way around the process, this time was a bit different.  With some of the revenue problems that the city faces with the Indy Parks Dept. the city was looking at giving all the courses to one operator.  Therefore, it was a little tense and a more drawn out process then it has been in the past.  The good news is that they were successful in their bid.

The Cooprider Golf Management Corporation was awarded a ten year contract for Sahm Golf Course, also, Whispering Hills Golf Course, and Douglas Golf Course.  Yes that is correct we now have three Indianapolis City Golf Courses to operate.  The city wanting to narrow down the number of operators for all the city courses felt that The Cooprider’s not only could handle the extra course load, but were deserving of the other two courses with the track record that they have shown with Sahm Golf Course. 

There are some new things planned for Sahm Golf Course.  One of the major improvements will be a new clubhouse, breaking ground maybe as early as fall of 2010.  However, you will see other improvements as well.  There will be irrigation work being done, which will help the overall look and playability of the course.  A new Driving Range building is being planned.  Work to the cart paths will continue. 

There will also be some changes behind the scenes.  Tom Cooprider has managed Sahm Golf Course for the past 32 years along with his wife Liz who has been involved with Sahm GC for the past 21 years.  Together they have made Sahm GC what many of you have loved.  Tom has decided to lessen his role and give the responsibility of the four golf courses to Liz.  Tom will still be around but will not have some of the worries or pressures that go with this job.  Mo Musser, has been promoted to Director of Golf for all of the golf courses.  Brian Wampler is going to oversee the maintenance for all the courses and will be back at Sahm GC as his primary golf course.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO TEN MORE GREAT YEARS OF SERVING THE INDIANAPOLIS GOLFER
