Over the next few weeks the staff in the turf department will be performing various cultural practices around the golf course. These cultural practices play a huge part in creating the proper environment for the turf to withstand the day to day beating that it takes throughout the year. Much thought and planning goes into the timing and execution of these maintenance practices to ensure that the impact to the membership is minimal and that the benefit to the golf course is to our expectation. The following is the schedule for this year's summer mmaintenance:
GREEN AERATION AND SANDING:
July 9 - Front Nine & Putting Green
July 10 - Back Nine (CLOSED FOR DAY)
TEE & APPROACH AERATION AND SANDING:
July 11 to July 20
FAIRWAY SANDING:
July 9 and 11
July 23 and 25
I have received many positive comments this year on the condition of the course and those conditions are a direct result of these cultural practices. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these maintenance activities and please know that we will do all we can to get the golf course cleaned up and back in shape following each event. Thanks and we'll see you on the course!
