The beautiful fall weather continues benefitting both golfers and the course as we motor along towards Thanksgiving.  This week looks like another mid-October special!  Sunday featured our first killing frost so there goes the last of our summer annuals and in come the tulips.  We have used an unusual amount of water this fall as we are quite dry and temperatures have been running above normal.

The day after Lentz's Revenge featuring a nice sunrise.

The remnants of a fun day.  Thanks to my staff for a great tournament and a great year!

Bulb planting is now in go mode.  If you have bulbs now is the time to plant.  Remember to water them after planting and keep moist if it remains dry.

Heavy winds on a Saturday knocked down a white pine next to the pump house.

Irrigating the 17th green and pretty unusual for November. 

Preparing for new sod on the fifth hole.

Working on the tenth hole.  We softened the creek bank for better playability and aesthetics.

Just about ready for sod.

Laying the sod is the easy part.  This is the best time to lay sod as it readily roots in and requires minimal watering.  Even though top growth has stopped roots continue to grow.

Fall color has been late arriving and short lived.

One of our honeybees pollinating a begonia behind 18 green?  Could be as one of our colonies made it through the season.
