November is going out with a big splash.  Over two inches of rain has fallen and more is expected this afternoon.  The course is obviously closed and opening doesn't look promising for Tuesday  Check the web site tomorrow for course status.  November was a great month for playing golf and working on the course.  December looks pretty good for work but golfing not so much as temperatures are forecast to get seasonal.  Drainage work begins next week.  Expect to see equipment arriving later this week.  Greens and tees will be deep tine aerated this week as well as some fairway aeration and seeding.  Some sod will probably be laid as well.

Frost arrived late this fall.  Here is a look at our first killing frost.

Here is what happens when driving on frosted or frozen turf.  This was done by yours truly when the turf was slightly frozen.  The damage lasted about two weeks.  Shame on me!

Sod replacement on hole sixteen.

Watering some really dry sod on November 28th.  This is unusual.

The Shock Wave did an excellent job opening up the soil in the fairways.  Here's a pretty good rock 

exposed on the second hole.

I know I harp on this too much but we must do better.  Each morning every green has about four of these.

Leaf work is nearly complete.

'Winter Red' deciduous holly on hole fifteen.

Another amazing November sunrise!
