Since the last Golf Course Update, we have received 7.5 more inches of rain! 2.5 inches came last night and it is still raining! The course was so wet yesterday that we had to close it even to walking. It is safe to say that we will not have carts today at the least. As for the golf course, we are seeing the growth of black algae on some areas where the water is either puddling and/or flowing across on fairways and greens. This algae can damage and/or kill turf. We are going to do what ever we can to reduce the areas of damage. Lets just hope for the return of some sunny skies.
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.
