Today, we are preparing for heavy rains over the next 24-36 hours. We are racing to mow everything today in the case it is too wet tomorrow. We are also spreading sand on lower areas of the fairways to help them drain faster. The staff will be taking a blacktop tamping machine to some of the bunkers to pack the sand down. This can reduce the severity of the sand "washing out" from heavy rain.
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!
