Llanerch Golf Course and External Activities

As you can see from this picture, we have begun to aerify greens today. We are using a 1/2 inch sized coring tine. I would characterize it as leaving a medium sized hole. We are adding sand to the greens to fill the holes. The sand helps water movement and speeds up the healing time. We should be reopened for golf by 8:00am on Thursday. Thanks for your patience. 

The Fall season has arrived! The cool night temperatures have slowed grass growth throughout the course but we are still busy mowing! We have seen the tulip poplars starting to drop their leaves and some other variety of trees begin to turn colors.The staff has been busy preparing for Doe Day (yesterday) and now focusing on Member- Member Tournament. We want wish all the participates good luck!

Well, it has been four long days since we got the 2.7 inch rain we received on Monday of Labor Day. I am proud to say that the course is almost 100% back in Championship shape! We still have a little bit of gravel that washed into the rough that was related to the Clubhouse renovation but the rest of the course is right on track! We hope you find time to fit in a quick 9 or full 18 in this weekend. Good luck to all the Championship Saturday participants!

This is the first tee at Llanerch at 11:34am yesterday! 2.7 inches of rain fell in a little over a hour on Monday! We are currently focusing on fixing the bunkers. The sand in every bunker has been washed out. I think it will take us any where from 2-3 day to redistribute the sand. I will being posting more updates on the course shortly.
