Driving Range Tee

     The Driving range tee is now open.  We have some new item down on the tee this year.  A clock with the yardages to the 3 flags on the  landing areas was purchased this year.  Our yardages on the tee do not move very far but you will know the yardage to each flag.  We have also purchased two new signs on the proper way to use our driving range tee.  If you use the linear method the turf will fill back in the lines in 2 weeks.  It takes a  month or longer for the concentrated method heal.

 We have 2 signs just like this one placed on each side of the hitting areas.

Please use the linear method.  We still have members that still use the scattered and concentrated method.

Course Update

It has been a month since my last post.  My staff and I are very busy.  Here are some of the projects we completed.

1. The entire golf course has been sprayed for broadleaf weeds
2. The entire golf course was sprayed for crabgrass.
3. We are in the middle of spraying the entire golf course for grub control.
4. The wet area to the east of #2 green has been repaired.
5. #8 right rough has been repaired and sodded.  New irrigation heads on the right side of the fairway will help us water the rough from the fairway to the ditch.
6. Blue tee on # 6 has new zoysia sod on the front 25'.  It has become very thin coming out of winter.
7. We were able to fix some of the bad spots around our greens.  #1, #10, #11, #13 had some bare areas we fixed.

Please remember all new construction is played as ground under repair.  Please pick your ball up and place no closer to hole outside the ropes.  It will take some time for the new sod to root.  We do have some fill under some of the sodded areas with it being wet you could do some damage if you walk into the ropes on #8.

 This is the area we fixed to left of #2 green.  We added a catch basin

 #8 right rough

 We installed 3 drains between fairway and cart path and sodded

Plant sale

     Kaley has been working very hard in the greenhouse this past winter.  Her hard work has paid off.  She is having a plant sale for our members.  If you are looking for some plants please come by and take a look.  She will be in front of the Clubhouse Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
