Course Update

We are concentrating most of our efforts on keeping up with the leaves around the course but we are still mowing although on a reduced schedule. I will continue to topdress the greens with sand weekly until growth has stopped providing a protective layer of sand around the crown (growing point) of the plant going into winter. We have been busy with our small in-house projects around the course:

• Two new forward tees on 2 and 6 have been constructed and sodded with our own sod from the nursery. These tees have been mowed once and will be open for play in the spring.
• Installing new irrigation along the right rough of the 5th hole in two locations, right rough of the 6th hole near the green, rough between 4 tee and fairway, and the 2nd fairway bunker.
• Squaring off tees on certain holes to allow for better tee marker placement as well as realigning certain tees toward the green

The irrigation system will be blown out mid-November protecting it from freezing temperatures. We are beginning to remove the divot buckets from the tees as well as the other course accessories as the temperatures drop including ball washers, trash cans, and bunker rakes.
