It is hard to believe we are three weeks from Thanksgiving.  We are focusing our efforts on keeping the course as leaf free as possible. It is frustrating looking for balls amongst the leaves so leaf work is priority number one right now.  There are still some nice days for golf so we hope to see you on the course.  

 

Before trees lose their leaves we have the good fortune to enjoy their magnificent fall color.  This is a Ginko tree.

 

 

A pin oak on the second hole.

 

 

A nice orange-yellow hickory.

 

 

Red maple in nice contrast with the turf.

 

 

A spectacular willow oak on the fourteenth hole.

 

 

Fall fruit on a southern magnolia.  Its not all about the leaves!

 

 

Burning bush in all its glory.

 

 

This is a bald cypress.  Often mistaken as an evergreen in decline at this time of year.

 

 

Before the leaves fall it is an excellent time to mark trees for removal.  This red oak near the thirteenth green is in decline and is a candidate for removal.  Trees with the red dot will be removed this winter.

 

 

We had a lot of fun with Lentz's Revenge this year and hope you were able to play.

 

 

 

This tractor was strategically placed and got some revenge!

 

 

A crafty pin placement on the fourteenth green.  At least it is a six inch hole!

 

 

We had some skillful ghouls on Halloween mowing greens.

Thanks to my staff for a great year!

 

 

Sunrise special!
