The golf course is slow to "green up" because of the unseasonably cold temperatures. When it does warm up (hoping next week) we should start to see the brown areas turn green. This week the greenkeepers have begun raking and smoothing out the bunkers to get them in "mid-season" form. Between the snow and winter rains, the sand has shifted and needs to be redistributed in an even matter. It roughly takes two weeks to iron out all the surfaces. On greens, we are beginning to lower the height of cut to increase green speeds. We hope to see you out on the golf course!
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
