The golf course is starting to really dry out. Golfers should be start seeing us water greens by hand. We do this to add water where it is needed and not where it is not. We also started to "level" the depth of the bunker sand in green side bunkers. We are hoping to finish this task today. The bunker sand will be somewhat "softer" in some spots until the sand "packs" down tighter. The sand will also be softer because it is drying out. We will also use a gas powered tamper to speed up the process of "packing" in select bunkers.
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!
