We had grand plans to spread as much sand as possible yesterday but Mother Nature had other plans for us! We had over 1.5 inches of rain on Monday that really set us back from topdressing. Instead we spent yesterday and today reworking the sand in the bunkers that was moved by the heavy rains. Today, the sun came out and we started to spread sand. All the greens were verticut and lightly topdressed. We are also todpressing the approaches. This helps in provide a smoother surface and assists in draining the soil.
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!
