Golf Course Update

The month of September is upon us once again. This means that the hot summer months will be soon behind us and some much needed cooler temperatures are on their way. Although we have had a very hot and somewhat wet summer, the course is doing very well. It always seemed to rain at the right time when things were starting to dry out so we could conserve on irrigation usage. These rains made the turf healthy and strong when it usually struggles during the heat of the summer months. Our last aerification was a great success again this year. Mother Nature cooperated with us and the rains stayed away so we were able to complete everything that was scheduled. Everything has healed up nicely and we can look forward to great playing conditions the rest of the year. We will continue to maintain a verticuting and topdressing schedule on the greens throughout the remainder of the growing season as always to maintain a great playing surface. Over the next few months we will continue to work on many things around the course. One of these items includes the trimming down wetland areas to provide a better view and help playability of certain golf holes. This is always something we will stay on top of, since everything grows so vigorously during the summer months. Hope to see you all out on the course!!! Brian Roller Director of Grounds
