With yesterday proving to be another washout I have no confidence that we will be able to complete our aerification by Thursday. This would be an unrealistic deadline even if we could have begun this morning, which could not happen with the course still trying to drain more than an inch and a half of precipitation. I have discussed the issue with Dave Gould and he agrees that there is no point in attempting to continue at the cost of member access to the course when we would not be able to finish regardless.
As such, the course will be open Wednesday (today), Thursday and throughout the weekend as normal.
Aerification will begin Monday October 3rd and continue into next week. I will be working with Wally to ensure that the Ladies Road Runner event on Tuesday has nine holes to play. Outside of this event the golf course will be closed Monday and Tuesday of next week, with the goal being to have nine holes open by Wednesday.
Even the best laid plans can easily fall prey to the whims of mother nature. The forecast for next week is clear and hopefully it will stay that way. We thank you for your understanding and patience while we adapt to whatever the weather throws at us.
See you on the course!
