A Few Course Notes

Germination on the re-seeded portion of 18

There are a couple of things on the course that I wanted to call attention to. Th first is the area of eighteen fairway that was re-seeded earlier this month. Germination has been wide spread, with a much higher percentage of coverage than with the original seeding. Anyone who's seen it recently will undoubtedly have noticed the green tint of tiny leaf blades.

On numbers three and eight, we have been working on stabilizing certain areas of the pond banks. You will notice a "rock wall" has been put in place on both holes. This structure is meant to retard the deterioration of these areas, which were slowly giving way to the water.

And while we are on the subject of water, you may notice as you putt out on number five green that the crew is hard at work on the rear bank. Rain, shade, and immense amounts of clay have lead to that bank growing soggy, and the turf there has begun to suffer. We are currently installing additional drainage, and will be sodding the entire area once the drainage is complete. Until then, please excuse of mess!


See you on the course!
