Weekend Update

The golf course took over two inches of rain on Wednesday and Thursday and more looks to be in the forecast for tonight and Saturday. The greens were brushed and mowed today but have lost the firmness and speed from the rain. The fairways, tees, and approaches were all mowed today as well. The great benefit of our new rough mower that we purchased last year was evident today as we were able to send out two machines and cut 80% of the golf course in one day. The sod areas on 2 and 5/6 will be closed this weekend to all golfers, your balls will be returned in the clubhouse. These areas are coming along nicely and were cut for the second time Friday but are still a little soft to allow for play. The new fairway areas and select approaches were top dressed with sand this afternoon in anticipation of the rain to work it into the turf canopy. This is the second time we are topdressing the new fairways expansions helping create a smooth transition from the existing fairways and firming the surface. The stairs on the 8th tee have been finished and landscaped as well as the annuals being planted in front of the clubhouse. The golf course is still without our irrigation system, thankfully mother nature helped us out. Storr Tractor is expected to be here Monday morning to install the new VFD drives and get us back online.
