News From The Grounds Crew

 

As we wrap up the season, we have been able to do a couple of late season projects that I did not think we would have time to get to. The most notable project is the new cart path we have put in on 12.

12th Fairway Path

The path that golfers created in the woods next to the 12th fairway bunker has had stone put down on it.

Assuming the greens are not dead again next year,  my main goal is to improve the grass where most tee balls land.  The first step is to limit cart traffic on these landing areas.  During my first year I saw how much the membership cares about course conditions.  I think if members make more of an effort to pay attention to limiting the amount of times they are on the fairways you will see a big improvement. This is very important in mid-summer, when the grass is already stressed by heat.

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy holiday season. We will see you in the spring.
