Course Update

To keep the course as clean as possible the staff has been busy and working very hard on blowing and mulching up leaves. In a week or two most of them should be all down and then we can switch into our winter projects.

First up for the winter is our annual fairway top dressing program. We plan to start this on Monday working #18 going backwards through out the winter. Most recently we are close to finishing up the soil reliever in the approaches. This pokes a solid tine hole about 6-8 inches deep.

The gas company has just about finished their repair on the pipe on hole #3. We should start to see soil going back into the hole today or tomorrow morning and then we will place the sod back over.  

Lastly, we have removed the 5 gallon water coolers from the course, if we would leave them, they would crack under low temperatures. We will leave the bottle watered stations up until sometime in December which then we will take down for the winter.

I hear this natural gas pipe comes from Houston and feeds the gas
