As fall approaches rope and stake are going to become more prevalent around the course. There is no other way for us to effect repairs. Areas with new growth or that are as of yet unstable must be protected- which is why pictures like this are so disturbing.
The work that we do is for you, the members. The projects we undertake are meant to improve the course. Actions like this serve only to delay or destroy our attempts to make Cress Creek better for you. This picture is of sod on a fairway, but this sort of blatant disregard would be even more detrimental had these stakes been protecting seedlings, which many of them are.
With our Greens expansion project beginning after the Member/Member, it will soon be even more crucial that our rope and stake deterrents are respected not just by cart traffic but by play as well. Please do your part to help us help Cress Creek!
See you on the course!
