Course News
 


The golf course has seen its ups and downs this summer.  A record amount of rain in June and July followed by a couple of weeks of hot and humid conditions in August have led to prime conditions for stress on owr closely mowed areas.  Most notably #15 and #17 greens.  These weaker areas will receive special attention throughout the growing season to bring them up to par with the rest of the greens.  The goal is to have consistency in our soil structure within the entire green complex.  These pictures represent sections that require additional organic matter to improve water holding capacity.  This is accomplished with additional fertilizer, soil amendments and wetting agents.  We also have specific areas that retain too much moisture.  We will combat this with enhanced aerification to increase oxygen levels and penatrents to move water through the soil. 

As the Cart Path Project comes to a close(I Hope), we will focus on returning the golf course to expected conditions.  Our team has spent countless hours moving dirt and laying sod, they will be happy to start mowing grass and trimming bushes.  I want to thank Erik and his staff for all his help in re-routing traffic during this project.  Our members and guests have been understanding and gracious while out on the course.  Thank you for your patience, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
