It is a really busy time on the golf course.  Last weeks deluge has really piled up the work.  The course received around six inches of rain for the week.  With Memorial Day arriving this weekend we have our work cut out for us.


Yep its dead.  The cold winter took a beating on our driving range tee.  The tee is scheduled to be sodded the first week of June and will be open by Member Guest.  Replacement poles and netting has been delayed due to the wet weather.  


Tree down behind the 14th green on our turf nursery.  We lost two large oaks overall.


The large pile of limbs was finally chipped up.  Two pin oaks in the parking lot were removed and all the stumps on the course were ground up as well.


The same old song and dance of this spring continues.


Greens were successfully aerated on May 8th and healed quickly.


There have been questions asked why we have eliminated the intermediate cut around the fairways.  It is difficult maintaining tall fescue at such a low height of cut and inevitably transitions to weaker turf.  We do mow one pass around the fairways three times a week during peak growth periods to keep this area from being too penal.

Wildflower bed on the third hole.  Different flowers, different month!


Please don't go ball hawking in the flowers!


Tulips are now available to the membership.  They may be picked up in the upper parking lot nearest the pro shop.  Come and get them!


The crew is putting in extra time to get the flowers in by the holiday.


What a picture of Jack ridding our course of geese.  Gill is in the pond too just not in the pic.
