New Sod

Trick or Treat

 

 

October 31st marks the last day of reciprocal season and the beginning of the Stonebridge experience. The new season starts with, new flowers, new flags, new flagsticks, new cups and soon to be delivered, new Tee Markers.  We are excited about the future of Stonebridge, the new clubhouse will provide a centerpiece for a magnificent Country Club environment.  Our goal is to use the golf course and grounds to paint a complete picture. 

 

 This summer provided quite a few challenges.  A tremendous amount of effort was put into the recovery of a few weak areas on the greens.  Although substantial improvement was evident, I made the decision to sod the most affected of the areas.  With a firm grasp on the root of the issue and a hearty debate between playability, presentation and aesthetics, I made the decision to jump-start the healing process.   The act of sodding a portion of a green is an arduous one, careful attention is paid to maintaining the integrity of the green.  A great deal of effort was exerted to preserve the playability and aesthetics. 

 

The benefits of an "ABNORMAL" summer is the revelation of deficient characteristics around the property.  These are the challenges we are charged with correcting, on a daily basis.  We have a great team in place to maintain and exceed member expectations.
