Storm May 30, 2013

The storm last night caused quite a bit of damage on the course. The front nine suffered minor tree damage but the back nine is a different story. Straight line winds took down  15 trees and damaged dozens more. Here are some pictures, i will post more over the next few days. Clean up has begun but will take a very long time ti complete. 

Verticutting greens today!

Today we begin our bi-weekly verticutting. Every other week we will perform a non aggressive vertical mowing of the greens. This procedure helps us control both the grain and the thatch levels. 

Too much thatch will create a spongy feel to the greens. Too much grain effects both putting and mowing. 

Twice a year, during our greens aerification we verticut aggressively. This is done during the height of the growing season so healing time is minimilized

. 

Been a beautiful Spring!

90 Degree Rule DELAYED

Due to weather. I am sorry but the weather today, and the forecasted weather to come will not allow us to go 90 degrees for a short while. I will go 90 degrees as soon as think the course is dry enough to handle the traffic. Thanks!

90 Degree Rule Coming!

Starting on Friday March 29 we will begin following the 90 Degree Cart Rule.

A reminder for everyone what is meant by 90 Degree Rule:

Once a player strikes their ball follow the Cartpath until cart is perpendicular with the ball then turn cart and drive straight to the ball. Once ball is played please return to the Cartpath via the same route. Please do not ever drive carts with in 25-30 yards of a green or tee. Please do not Search for Balls by driving around and around in the roughs. Simply follow the 90 degree rule then get out of the cart and search on foot. his will save much wear on the rough. Thank you Very much and as always the 90 degree rule is weather permitting, always check signage or ask the proshop if there is a question.

7 is done! Thanks MGA

Another MGA Funded project completed!
We have some extra sod so we are placing it on 8 where we have bare spots.
Thanks again MGA!
