Course Update

With that passing of Hurricane Irene the course fared really well. With the usual debris to clean up and two trees that came down on #17. The rain was very slow which helped our bunkers make it through with very little wash outs.  A few other things that will take place this week is the stripping of the sod on #3, the sod will be replaced  on Wednesday. Continuing to seed our rough as well as the intermediate that have been sprayed for Bermuda control. There is one important thing I would like to bring up as it pertains to seed in the rough. We have already begun the germination process and we are seeing a lot of seed popping in our thin areas. With that said it is extremely important that we keep off the rough to allow the seedlings a chance to grow. If we do not control the cart traffic then all will be for not. So this week we are cart path only as well as for blue flags. I know that this will be an inconvenience but this is necessary to regain grass in the rough. Now one last thing, because we are cart path only please be aware as you park and drive near the cart path edge, it is very important to remain on the path due to some areas being wetter than others.
