We were pleasantly surprised with over 2 inches of slow rainfall this past week. This was a huge benefit to the course and came slow enough that minimal cleanup was needed. As the continue through the Summer months, please take the time to repair your ball mark and one other. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the golf course.

Each Fall the tees on the Par 3s are overseeded with ryegrass to provide turf throughout the winter months. In the Spring, when temperatures warm up ideally the ryegrass will "fade away" and the Bermuda will replace it. Because this Spring was so long and cooler than most the ryegrass thrived longer than usual. When typical Summer temps hit all at once the ryegrass checked out quickly leaving thin turf on holes 11 and 13. To promote fast recovery, we have aerified all Par 3 tees and fertilized the tees on all 18 holes. This combined with the recent 2" of rain have generated a lot of growth and tees should all be good in another week.

Fairway Aerification

With the Member guest now behind us, we will begin aerifying all fairways this week. We will pull cores, mow them when dry and then blow the fairway. The fairways are very healthy and will recover quickly.

The entire course was fertilized a couple of weeks ago. That along with the periodic rain events have really helped a lot. We have also begun mowing the intermediate rough cut as well.

Fire Ant Control

We have treated all fairways, tees and greens surrounds with a fire ant bait. We will now begin spot treatments as necessary.

We have received a few comments regarding ball marks on the greens this past week. Remember to always repair yours and one more.

Thanks
