Course Update

We had a serious issue with our irrigation pump station with the malfunction of our VFD drives for the motors. In simple terms it means we can't water the golf course. Storr Tractor was here within an hour and confirmed our issues. New VFD and fuses blocks are coming from Texas to get us back up and running. The 36 hours without water has caused some areas to wilt and turn black, the greens were irrigated using our sprayer carrying 150 gallons at time. Thankfully rain is on the way.

All of the new fairway areas are open for play and have been top dressed with sand to help smooth them out. The fairways also were fertilized with our organic fertilizer which is what the odor around the course is. 

The signal light on the 9th hole is now operational after replacing all the buttons and relays. The logs along the cart path on the 6th hole were removed today by Greenwood Tree and the stumps will be buried in the next few weeks.
