FROM THE CLUB PRESIDENT TODD HALL
As the cooler weather sets in up here in Minnesota, thoughts of returning to my “happy place” for the winter become more frequent. We are only 6 weeks, weather permitting, away from the opening of the Peaks; I look forward to seeing you on the fairways of Tonto Verde soon. I am thrilled to share my optimism for our community's future, bolstered by the exciting developments within the Tonto Verde Association (TVA). The TVA has recently welcomed Vito Crews as the new Executive Chef and Matt Samson as the new General Manager. These appointments signal a strong commitment to enhancing the overall experience for our community, and I am confident their leadership will elevate the quality and service we all value. One of the five themes coming from our May 2025 Golf Club member survey was “Strengthening communication and alignment between the TVA and the golf club.” I won’t bore you with the details, however, the progress in fostering a stronger rapport and relationship between the TVA and TVGC is truly encouraging. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Susan Warzecka, TVA president, for her efforts in bridging our two organizations, creating a foundation for collaboration and mutual success. Together, we are poised to make Tonto Verde an even more vibrant and cohesive place for all members.
The friendships forged at Tonto Verde extend far beyond our fairways, as illustrated by a recent text chain I was on.

The huge smiles are a testament to the deep bonds our club nurtures, connecting us across continents and creating memories that last a lifetime. The miserable weather (if you’re a golfer) throughout the Midwest this summer reminded me of growing up in a small farming community in western Illinois, where the farmers would gather in the local café to have coffee; they’d complain about not getting the crops in soon enough, fields being too wet to plant, the drought setting
