Fall is here

We are now into October and the course is showing it.   Rough has slowed and is going off color and we begin the daily chore of leaf blowing.  I love this time of year!

You may have noticed the greens are not as quick as usual.  The reason for this is we are preparing them for winter.  It is crucial for us to raise the mowing height and get the greens as healthy as possible.  Currently we have the mowers set at .145" and will go slightly higher before the end of the month.  We will continue to mow/roll daily to maintain good ball roll. 

I have seeded the lower Driving Range Tee with rye grass and I hope to move the ropes for play within 2 weeks.  The seed is up and growing and we will begin mowing by the end of this week.  Once we move forward we will close the upper and seed it.
