Weekend Update

Last weekend we had an electrical issue with our wells that prevented us from irrigating the golf course. The issues were the result of a varmint partially chewing through some wires in the pump house. Thankfully the turf held strong with greens being supplemented with water from our spray rig the cool temperatures kept everything in check with minimal damage. We are working to upgrade our infrastructure this off season to prevent these types of issues in the future and safeguard our ability to run each well independently. The sod on the 9th hole is continuing to mature with all the new turf being mowed this week and the fairway expansions being topdressed with sand. Our goal of opening the new bunkers for the labor day weekend seems to be within reach and I look forward to seeing how they impact the 9th hole. If your ball has landed in the sod please check the basket in the clubhouse to retrieve your ball and I thank you for staying off the sod. The greens are healing in nicely from the dry-ject and were verticut again this week. The cooler temperatures have allowed us to mow the greens a second time in the afternoons increasing their density and speed. There are many exciting events at the club during the next few weeks and I hope to see you all over the holiday weekend.
