Finally after weeks of dry and windy conditions, we got some rain! The course received over 2.2 inches of rain last Sunday. We are hoping for some more in the near future. In the mean time, we have been redistributing the sand in all the green side bunkers to ensure a more even playing surface. We will continue this work in the fairway bunkers over the next two weeks. Most of the other time has been spent on mowing the ever thickening rough. It is that time of year when the rough goes from thin and uneven to thick and lush. Next week we will trim some trees, topdress greens and groom the fairways.
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.
