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
