On Monday November 4th the Turfcare team along with some great member volunteers completed the flax installation to protect the poa greens through winter. It was a great day for applying the flax and we would like to thank the members who dedicated the day to assisting us with this annual process. Your efforts were greatly appreciated.
Bunker maintenance continues to progress this fall. We have begun to drop piles of sand in the green side bunkers on the back nine with the front nine having all sand placed. Excavation of all green side bunkers will be complete early this week and work has already begun on fairway bunkers with hole 1 being excavated. Once excavated the process includes ensuring that our drainage is functioning. Once this is confirmed and any repairs required completed, we tamp the floor of the bunker before installing sand. The forecast looks good to make additional strides with this program this week once the frost burns off the course each morning for work to continue.
