Course Update

The past few days have been horrendously cold and it has been a challenge to get tasks completed on the golf course. During the arctic blast we were able to organize and clean the nooks and crannies of our shop. When we were able to get on the course, we spent most of our time cleaning up falling leaves and we began our winter top dressing program for the fairways and approaches.  The drainage projects we have slated for this year will start on December 1st after the Thanksgiving Holidays. It does take a few days to complete one of these projects and we did not want to interfere to much with the play ability of the golf course during that time.  The area that we will go to first is #14 approach then followed by #12.

The bunkers this time of year will be a little rough looking, unfortunately when we have temperatures this cold the sand is frozen therefore making it impossible to rake out. We will rake them once an opportunity presents itself.
