Alfredo rolling greens

 We have a couple light passing showers this morning. The crew is out mowing greens, tees and fairways. Bunkers are being raked and Nick is setting pin locations on the Championship Course. Corey is mowing up the executive course and we will be spraying the executive course later this morning.

Should be a hot and muggy couple of days leading up to the weekend. We will have a busy week next week with several events during the week and Women's and Senior's Club Championship next weekend. Shingobee will be starting the construction project next week and work will begin on the Portico and Comfort Stations.

We are mowing and rolling greens this morning. Kurt and Reynaldo are setting the course for play and hand watering greens. We are looking at another great day with a slight chance of storms late in the day. The moon has been big and bright helping the crew getting started in the dark. We are spot watering some fairways this morning and checking irrigation heads. Enjoy the weekend!

Great stretch of weather this week.

 We are mowing and rolling greens today. Nick Walters is working on finishing the deep tining of the fairways. He is working on 6, 7, 8 and 14 today. That will wrap up the deep tine aerification on the fairways and we will be looking at another round of sand topdressing in 2 weeks. The weather forecast looks about as good as it could be for the next couple of days as we enter August. We will be starting some of the Capital Projects on the course over the next couple of weeks and we have a Town Hall Meeting scheduled for August 6th at 7pm.

We have had a couple good Thunderstorms over the past couple of weeks and have not seen a lot of significant damage. We have seen a few trees get hit by lightning and we might have to remove a couple trees as well as some limbs. We will monitor the trees over the next couple of weeks and determine the best route to take going forward. We had a couple trees between 12 and 13 that have some significant bark blown off of the tree. Some of these storms also brought heavy winds and we have seen a couple larger trees show some stress cracks from the wind. We will keep an eye on these and make any necessary removals as soon as possible.
