Solid Tining Tees

This week we solid tined all of our tee boxes. This will help relieve compaction and allow air down to the roots of the plant. We plan to top dress them at the start of next week. While on the subject of the tee boxes, it would be greatly appreciated if all members and guests would refrain from dragging trolleys onto tee boxes. As we are now in winter, golf we will be played on frosty mornings. When trolleys are pulled across tees when there is frost, it burns the leaf of the plant and leaves ugly marks and weakens the plant. So please help us protect our course, thank you.



More Drainage Work

We are constantly working on improving our drainage out on the course. This year has been particularly tough, with an average of 4 inches of rain falling per month for this year so far, its safe to say our 20 year old drainage system has been under some pressure! Over the course of the winter, we plan to create some new drains and raise up low spots where water sits, hopefully then we will see the benefits next year. Below is a new drain being put in on 12 fairway in a spot that was severly damaged from sitting water.
