Since my last blog post, we have had all kinds of weather: heat, a dry period and then heavy rain. The rough has thickened up in many location and some "brown areas" have turned green. Some of those "brown areas" are by design. They are the result of applications of herbicide to kill weeds like nut sedge, bermuda grass and small spots of crabgrass. This will be most apparent on number 18. Next week I will begin to post details about some exciting plans to improve the 18th hole coming this fall. Enjoy the 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.
