Golf Course Update

Dry is definitely the first word that comes to mind with June's weather. Just looking and we have only received about 1.35" of moisture for the month so far. That is just over 2" below normal for the month.  For now we just do the best we can watering and keeping the course green. The last week we have been getting a nice cool down at night, this is a big help when you are dealing with dry conditions. 

With the dry weather please remember carts play a major impact on turf issues and compaction. If you see a worn or thinning turf area please do not drive there. When going to and from the Club House stay on the cart path as much as possible, if you can not use the cart path please alter your route to reduce wear. As always stay on the Cart Path by all tee and green areas.  Thank You!!!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July weekend!!! 

We will see you on the course!!

June Golf Course Update

The golf course remains in great shape.  We have seen some of the summer heat but it has not lasted too long.  The golf course remains in great / playable shape.  The last two weeks have been busy catching up on all the detail work that falls behind in the spring of the year.  As stated in a previous blog we do our best to monitor the details of the golf course, at times we may miss an area that needs attention.  If you see an area that needs attention of the course please feel free to contact me.

Some of you have noticed a brownish color on a few of the fairways and tee areas.  This is a result of that particular type of grass trying to go to seed, this happens each spring.  When the grass is trying to seed it sends out stem shoots to produce a seed head.  These stem shoots are extremely tough and hard to cut, the not so clean cut produces a brownish color on the stem.  This should go away with time.

I hope to see you on the Course!!!!

Summer Is Here

June has arrived in fine fashion. Some timely rains and seasonal temperatures have helped keep the golf course in great shape. Over the past two weeks the rest of the seasonal staff has arrived. We should now be on a consistent schedule of maintaining your golf course. 

One item we are trying to just have four filling containers on the course for sand n seed. With five sets of tee areas it was always hard to determine which tee to set the sand n seed box by. So for now fill you bottles on holes 1, 4, 10 & 13. If you want to fill divots on any of the tee areas please bring your bottle to the tee. If you have any questions on this please feel free to contact me. 

Come out and enjoy you golf course!!  If you see any items that need attention on the golf course please feel free to contact  me. 

We will see you on the course!!
