Weather Alert

Just wanted to give an update on the course due to the frigid mid-50 degree weather here recently.  Things couldn't be better...sorry couldn't resist for all of you up north freezing right now. The course is in amazing condition. Looking forward to seeing everyone after the holiday season. 

Time for the sand shuffle

Taking advantage of the lull in play right now, the golf maintenance team is doing our quarterly bunker maintenance called the "sand shuffle."  This procedure is where we check and adjust the sand depths in the bunkers. I want to maintain a consistent 3.5-4 inches of sand throughout the bunkers for maximum playability. Most if the time we have to add sand to the high use bunkers. In all of the bunkers a plate compactor is used to firm the sand to ensure there are no fried eggs left behind. 

#6 comfort station gets some needed repairs

Today I have a sanitation company out replacing the drain field for the septic system on the front nine comfort station. This was a project I wanted to do this summer but with all the rain and other projects going on it just didn't happen.  Now that we have a big drop in play due to the holidays it a perfect time to finish up the last project of 2013. The drain filed needed to be replaced due to age and tree root invasion. With any luck we won't have to worry about replacement for another 15 yrs.
