Edging Bunkers

The crew is working on edging more of the bunkers today. They started last week and were able to finish the bunkers at the 1st and 9th greens and the 2nd fairway bunker. The weekend storm delayed the edging of the bunkers until today so we hope to complete the bunkers at 3 and 6 greens today while finishing the rest of the bunkers next week.

The greens are drying down and firming up allowing us to groom them frequently picking up speed and trueness. Certain approaches and collars that remain wet are suffering with the cooler and wetter weather causing turf decline and leaving thin areas. The aeration starting on Sept. 24th will aid in the recovery of these areas. These areas that are extremely thin will be aerated a second time around mid-October. Over-seeding will take place after both aerations.

Please remember to fix your ball marks, fill your divots, put the flagsticks back in the hole, and tap your shoes upon exiting the bunkers. These simples procedures are every players responsibility and allow for the golf course to be in great shape for every member and guest.
