Winter Home

Karen has been busy digging up all her tropical plants.  These plants have to be placed in a warm environment or the cold will kill them.  She has just the right place in our green house.  Picture below shows the green house filling up.  Without the green house we would have to buy some of these plants yearly.  Most of the plants are in the beds around the swimming pool and in some of her large pots.

Blimp

Did you see the Blimp flying over Washington.  Here is a picture of it looking from 17 Green.  We could not figure out what the writing on it said.

Seeding

We have been very busy on the golf course.  We are over seeding our green surrounds with a turf type tall fescue blend.  We will also hit some of our weaker rough areas. 

 Dan seeding # 8 green surround

 We punch a hole and drop seed in one pass

Grass seed will germinate in holes.

Rain update

We have received more than 4 inches of rain and it is still raining.  We have not done any mowing since Wednesday.  Maybe we can mow greens this weekend.

Rain go away

Here are some pic's after a 3 inch rain this morning.  Golf course is soaked.  Ditches, lakes and oh yes Bunkers are full of water.  We just finished fixing bunkers from our last rain storm last week.  It took 5 people 12 hours.  All washed away.  Looks like it is going to stay wet for next 4 or 5 days.
