Family tee markers
As I'm sure many of you have already noticed we switched from the painted black tee markers to a plate in the center of the fairways for the family tees. On holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 the markers can be found in the center of the fairways at varying distances. On the 7th hole the marker is located at the front of the upper tee and on the 8th hole it's located at the front of the forward tee. Craig has made up new scorecards and can be found in the pro shop. These tees are great for kids just learning the game or anyone for that matter.

Don't be this guy
This picture was taken on the 2nd green this morning, as you can see someone took their frustrations out by taking a divot from the green. Please don't be this guy, the grounds department takes great pride in being able to produce a golf course that the membership can be proud of on a daily basis. To steal a quote from Arnold Palmer, "Enjoy your round, you're not good enough to get mad."

Playing through...
It seems we had a little visitor here last night checking out the conditions here at MGC. I've asked quite a few people and they all seem to be in agreement that it is just a harmless corn snake. Although harmless it is enough to give you quite the scare. If you see him out there just leave him alone and you'll be fine.
#7 tee and cart path restoration
We hope everyone enjoyed the weather of the past few weeks because it seems to be coming to an end with temps soaring into the low 90's these past few days. We get a bit of a break today and tomorrow and the golf thanks mother nature. We here in the grounds department have completed a few small projects to go along with the daily maintenance of the golf course. We added black-eyed susan, daylily, and zebra grass around the newly finished wall on #7 lower tee. We also squared off the tee to give it a better look. Another ongoing project is the restoration of the cart paths. We edged the paths, add soil and seed to the weaker areas, and finally added new cart path material to the existing paths. Stay cool out there!
