We are mowing and rolling greens this morning and will be topdressing greens later today. We have a busy week with several shotgun events and the Club Championship this weekend. The weather has cooled down considerably and we are going to have a chance of some rain later today and tomorrow. Fairways, collars and approaches are being mowed today. Yesterday we were able to spray fairways and tees before the outside event.
Tom Hoverson was out yesterday and replace one of the Spruce Trees at the pool that had died over the summer. The new growth on the evergreen trees has hardened off and they are ready to be transplanted. We will be working on some plans over the next couple of weeks to get some more trees replaced on the golf course. We will be working on the left side of #2 fairway and behind #11 green.
I was able to attend the PGA Championship this past Saturday and had wonderful time. The Ocean Course is amazing and you really cannot see all the features that Pete Dye put into the golf course. There are a lot of little swales and dune areas that you do not see on TV that are pretty incredible. The pin location on #9 on Saturday was tucked back left is was almost a one stroke penalty in itself.
Don't worry I did not come out of there with any course set up ideas for the Club Championship. I was able to watch the Tournament Officials pick the pin location for Sunday on #17 and took a few notes home with me.
