Course Update

It's the end of August and things are winding down a bit.  School is back in session and a lot less golfers are out playing, mainly because of the heat wave.  We experienced Highs near 100 and heat index of 106.  On the other hand, we also experienced a few crisp mornings in the low 60's.  Fall is on the way! 


TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2 ---Greens Aerification
The course will be closed for play on this day for us to aerify the greens.  We will be pulling a small 1/4" core and topdressing.  Recovery will be quick.  Thanks for understanding.


Congrats to our 2014 Club Champions:


Men's--Trevor Smith
Ladies--Annie Swords
Senior--Pick Parks
Super Senior--Dave Clemens


Hopefully you have seen the lake at #11 and #17.  Jay Ayers and his crew did an outstanding job building a Dam and mucking the lake.  The lake is full and holds a lot more water than in the past.  In a month or so they will grade out the dirt and we will seed it.  The road project is rolling along ahead of schedule.  I was told possibly October, instead of November, but weather dictates everything.  The area will look much better once the water is back in and the grassy weeds are submersed.


The cart paths are done and ride very smooth.  To clarify, we never planned to repave all the paths.  Many have asked why we only did certain areas, the answer is simple, Money.  It would cost over $500,000 to redo all paths.  We addressed the areas that were rough and we made them smooth.  We will continue to clean up edges.


I have hired 2 key position in my department.  David Hartfree is my new Assistant and Daniel Mims is the new mechanic.  I feel both will be great for our team.
