The 15th green continues to improve and progress as we make the turn into August. The canopy continues to recover and fill in from the setback experienced just ahead of opening the new green. The environmental stresses experienced this summer have been extreme and these stresses have made it difficult to establish this green to its full potential so far this summer. The minor rainfall we experienced last week greatly improved not only 15 green but the entire property. This was a reminder of how challenging managing fine turf can be when we experience extreme heat and drought. Read More>>

Hopefully by now most members have had the opportunity to play the new 15^th green.  Today we lowered the heights on the green along with a topdressing.  This green is young and still being established.  Growth rates are high and therefore as the day progresses it will slow up even more.  As we continue on with the golf season this green should continue to progress and each week we hope that we can achieve incremental improvements in ball roll and greens health.Read More>>

We are excited to inform membership that we will be opening 15 green this week on Thursday June the 24^th.   We are excited to see membership back on their true 18 holes of golf for the prime golfing months ahead.  While the green is capable of opening and supporting golf there are some areas that are still being established mainly the back 1/3 of the green.  We will continue to work on establishment and improving the ball roll of this green for the duration of this golf season.

The property is greatly benefiting from this current heat spell.  We are seeing the turf across the property jump and it is taking a large focus of our efforts to keep up with grooming practices.  With this flush of growth we are experiencing some of the playing features are looking a little shaggy.  With repetitive daily mowing practices in full swing we will gain the upper hand in the days ahead and these playing features should begin to tighten up.  There are still many areas of turf that have yet to recover from winter damage and we are also beginning to see some action within these areas.  As we move forward we will continue to repair areas that are in greatest need while allowing some areas to recover now that we are seeing consistent temperatures and growth.Read More>>

Mother Nature was very cooperative this past Sunday afternoon through end of day Monday.  This allowed the Turfcare team to complete the critical aeration practices across the property. We completed core aeration of greens and tee boxes.  We also began and will complete in the next day or two fairway aeration. This process is essential in providing our turf with much needed oxygen, nutrients, water and compaction relief.  All of these items will allow the plants to become healthy and allow us to begin ramping up playing conditions over the next couple weeks.
