While this post will most likely be seen on a rainy Thursday evening, the weekend is forecast to be mild, but sunny. For all of you who will be at Cress Creek celebrating mothers and all they do, I wanted to share a couple notes on things you may notice.
I'm sure many of you have seen that our rough seems to range from "lush" in most areas to "man-eating" in a few, specific places. We are in a sweet spot right now for turf growth, especially turf maintained at rough height. Between spring fertilization, soil temperatures on the rise, and a few shots of rain the rough is growing like crazy! With many acres of rough to maintain and only three mowers and so many hours to mow, completing the entire course is not a single day process- but please rest assured we are doing our best to keep up.
I also wanted to call attention to the pond on 15 fairway. Installation of that ponds aerator (fountain) requires that the water level be low and we have been intentionally letting it run dry all week for this reason. Once we are able to install the aerator, the pond will be refilled. Please pardon it's appearance until then.
Lastly, there is no way to miss the collection of soil in our main parking lot. This pile is made up of the spoils from the construction of our newly completed patio. The process of removing this pile has already been mostly completed. If all of you could please extend us just a little more patience, the rest will be removed before this weekend.
Have a happy Mother's Day weekend!
