Summer has officially arrived.  After a challenging start weather proved to be our ally and the course provided a great test for our members and their guests.  Next up is the club championship and if the weather stays as currently forecasted it should be quite a competition!

Tournament mode.  Mowing fairways at dusk during Member Guest.  The quality of cut in our fairways is much improved using lighter mowers.

Rooting in cool season turf is outstanding to date.  Here some deep roots are observed in the ninth fairway.

Wildlife continues to prosper throughout the course but how dare the deer that ran across the sixth green during the opening round of Member Guest.

Practice round of Ladies Member Guest and this doe is wanting to play the green tees!

Right after she moved off the tee Mr. Buck followed.

Remember the diseased sycamores?

Three weeks later and look how nice they look now.

We have two baby red tail hawks! They can be seen regularly near the ninth hole.

Springfield honeybees pollinating winter berry hollies at the fifteenth tee.

Bees on milkweed on the fourth hole.  This is one of our most beneficial flowering plants and is native to our area.

Time to say good bye to one of our best employees and a good friend.  Doug has moved to Myrtle Beach and is completely retired this time!

Jack has arrived!
