Course Update

The fall season is in full force with leaves and pine needles falling at a good clip now, dark mornings, and cool temperatures. Growth of the turf is starting to slow but root production will continue for another 4-5 weeks so I will continue to apply Potassium and Calcium to help the roots along. The crew was busy verticutting the greens on Tuesday and Friday as well as constructing two new forward tees on the 2nd and 6th holes. These tees will be in play next season moving toward our ultimate goal of having 4 sets of markers on every hole, Blue-White-Green-Gold. I understand how frustrating losing your golf ball is in leaves. Be assured that we are working on leaf clean-up everyday but projects like constructing tees, upcoming irrigation upgrades, and basic mowing takes time away from leaf clean-up. In better news the native areas around the course have been mowed down so they can be treated for weeds allowing for easier discovery of your ball in those areas. The color of the trees around the course are just beginning to change so the next few weeks should provide some great scenery. Frost delays will likely begin toward the end of the month so please call ahead to the pro shop and obey all frost signs as any damage to the turf will be visible until the spring. Frost can form at temperatures 40 and below if the conditions are appropriate.
