Course Update and Pace of Play Episode 3: Around the Green





The above video is the third from the USGA in the Pace of Play video segment. Many of you have noticed that the rough has really started to grow so we have been running two machines daily to keep up with the growth but with heavy rain storms on the way for Friday expect the rough to be thick over the weekend. The storms for Friday have also postponed the men's member/guest tournament postponing it until June 6th. We continued to verticut the greens this week and mow a 2nd time in the afternoons on greens creating a nice playing surface that is consistent and getting much denser. Density on greens has always been an issue in years past but with the regular verticutting we are making progress. The greens and fairway expansions will be topdressed before the heavy rain on Friday enabling us to apply sand with little disruption to the members. The new water fountain on the 7th tee has arrived and will be installed this week.



Our birdhouses have attracted some residents with two families of tree swallows on the 8th hole and one family behind the 5th tee. I have included some pictures below.
