Busy Week!

Now that the usually hot weather of last week has passed by, we are going to be busy improving "playability" of the course. The first step is grooming the fairways and greens today. "Grooming" is a process of mechanically standing the turfgrass straight up. This increases green speed and minimizes thatch build up. We will also lightly topdress the greens and fairways with sand. The sand firms up the surface, improves drainage and reduces potential scalping when we mow. The greens will be finished today. The fairways will take us any where between 2 to 4 day depending on the weather.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.

Golf Course Update (Groundhog Day Version)

Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
