Course Update

The crew was busy this week keeping up with the growth of the turf. We continued our verticutting and dry mowing of the greens for the third week and the greens are improving each week with little disruption to the members. The weak areas on 3 and 6 green were spiked and seeded again this week.  The ropes and signs have been removed from all the sod areas with only a few seeded areas remaining with ropes. The yellow markers have been placed on the fairway expansion for the 2nd hole. Please feel free to play from these yellow markers if you struggle to hit over the 9th green, helping the pace of play. The black junior markers will be placed out this weekend and remain until Labor Day. 

We replaced the stairs going to the 5th men's tee this week in the same fashion as the stairs for the 8th tees. We will also be building a new set of stairs next week to access additional teeing grounds for the 7th forward tees.  The flowers around the clubhouse have been changed over for the summer months. Unfortunately the Crape Myrtle trees along the driveway did not survive the winter. These trees will survive in our climate during most years but this past winter was just too much. We will be planting Serviceberry trees along the driveway as a replacement. While Serviceberry do not flower during the summer rather in the spring they have a great growth habit that will fit along the driveway beautifully. 

In rememberance of our military forces and soldiers the American Flags will be on the flagsticks Monday. Please use the stands for the flagsticks as so the flag does not touch the ground. Remember that while we celebrate the unofficial start of summer many have lost loved ones that sacrificed for our country and freedom. 

Enjoy the weather and I will see you on the course.
