On The Course August 18th

Mallard nests have produced a few ducks this year

 We have had a considerable amount of rain over the past week and we have more in the forecast. We are mowing and rolling greens today. The course is still fairly wet but we will be allowing carts off the path today. Fairways are being mowed and Sheldon is trying to get as much as the dry ground rough mowed before the next storm arrives. The crew worked late on the Chilton steppers at the comfort station on 14 and we are getting closer to finishing that project. The new landscaping around the clubhouse has been finished with the exception of a little mulch around the fire pit area.

We have the Club Championship this weekend and Labor Day is right around the corner. We will be aerifying the golf course greens right after Labor Day. The process takes a couple days and with good weather we will be back in great shape quickly. We are planning on going with a deep tine before we core aerify the greens. We have completed a fairway topdress last week adding almost 350 tons of sand to the fairways and if the budget allows we will be doing one more application this season.
