We manage to skate by hurricane Sandy last week with leaves every where and of course the bunkers were now considered water hazards. We did have one area near a bunker that fell off and has been taken care of.
Yesterday we completed the areas around the eleventh green and also started to prep for our fairway extension on #16. We will sod a few areas and then harvest some bent grass cores from an approach area and spread them out in the extension area to convert the rough area to fairway.

Also last week and continuing this week we are verti-quaking the rough on #7 and top dressing heavily to help the soil perform better for next year. The main reason we are doing this is because the entire 8th hole drains towards 7th hole causing abnormal growing conditions for the turf grass. Some examples are increased compaction and anaerobic soil conditions. We will continue this process through out the winter on this hole and other traffic areas on the golf course.
