Spring Reminders

With April coming to a close and three beautiful days forecast for this weekend I wanted to give the membership a few reminders for their time on the course.

Already there are a fair amount of ball marks that have not been repaired on the greens. I want to remind everyone that ball mark repair is important, even with the turf actively growing! All of the golf carts have now been stocked with divot mix, with last year's green dye back by popular demand. Divots should be filled with mix and stepped on or patted with a club until flush.

Lastly, some of you will notice that some of the ropes have returned to the course. While our goal is to keep their presence minimal, whether or not we achieve it is out of our hands. The more care taken with cart traffic and parking, the fewer ropes need to be put out. Anyone who remembers the rope placements from last year can use them as a guideline. Whether or not there are ropes in a specific place today, the presence of ropes there last year indicate that that is an area to be avoided.

Let us all remember that repairing ball marks, filling divots, and being mindful of where carts are driven and parked is more than course stewardship- it's good sportsmanship!

See you on the course!

Aerification Reminder

The forecast is clear, so for now aerification is still on schedule for Monday and Tuesday, April 22 and 23. Should rain become an issue, our backup dates are April 29 and 30, the following Monday and Tuesday.

See you on the course!

Weekend Update: April 5

Another weekend has come and the forecast tells us this one will be even more enjoyable then the last. As stated in our last update, the greens are now open.  As the scoring season has officially begun, tee markers are all in place.

You are invited to hit into the re-seeded areas of holes 8 and 18, but we ask that balls be picked up and moved to the rough instead of played where they lay. With all turf yet to begin growing again in earnest and these areas still in their infancy, these re-seeded areas are not yet equipped to recover from divots like the established fairways.We also ask that all ball marks are repaired. Beyond good sportsmanship, any marks left will remain indefinitely as the greens are not yet growing and cannot repair themselves.

I have received some questions about cart availability as last week was walking only. The weather looks good, and we are confident the course can sustain the traffic. There are limited carts available, but carts will be allowed this weekend, though 8 approach and 18 fairway must remain off limits to cart traffic. Ropes have yet to be placed around the course, we ask that you be mindful of where you drive and park your cart. 

Please come out and enjoy this beautiful weekend!

See you on the course!
