As most Members know, long time Assistant Matt Willigan has moved on to become the Superintendent at Fiddler's Elow Country Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Matt spent ten years at Llanerch helping me install a new irrigation system, renovate the golf course and manage the department. I believe Fiddler's Elbow will be a better place place to golf under his stewardship. We all wish him well in his new endeavors and we will miss his trusty companion, Clancy, the black Labrador.
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!
