INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Current Condition & Outlook Through October 1 Closure While generally good, it goes without saying that the golf course has not been at its best recently. Following heavy rains last September poor drainage led to disease and algae formation in the fairways. The recovery took months and there are still remnants of the damage apparent. Additionally, greens have become progressively more difficult to manage year after year due to their age and corresponding organic buildup. Though we have had a very mild spring with an early warm up in March greens have been slow to recover from thinning following winter and dormancy. Because of this, we continue to manage weak areas in many of the greens. We have not been able to mow greens as low or roll greens as aggressively as in past years since this would only exacerbate the issue. The result has been slower green speeds than previous years. To compound our issues, on the morning of Wednesday, May 13, a hydraulic line on a piece of equipment failed resulting in the front half of #9 green being striped with oil. This will take approximately four weeks to recover from. I was not and am not proud of the product that we have given you to date this year. However, the conditions we are experiencing are more a result of the golf course exceeding its productive life than any other factor. It will be a grand day for me when the first bull dozer arrives on property.

Going forward we will continue to strive to give the membership the best conditions possible prior to renovation. This year we are not closing the course for maintenance in June, July, and August as normal practice. During these periods we typically perform various tasks such as aerification and vertical mowing which are critical to the health of the turf. Considering the renovation, it was decided that we would forgo these practices this year so that the membership would have more access to the course this summer prior to the October 1 closing. The tradeoff is that the recovery of the greens will continue to be inhibited and the golf course will be generally less healthy than in prior years. Additionally, prior to the renovation it is critical that the existing turf be eradicated so that contamination of the new variety (Celebration) does not occur. The eradication of all grass on the course will begin in mid August and require 3 applications to fully kill the existing turf. The eradication must be performed during the hotter months when the turf is vigorously growing, hence the August date. Following the first application the turf will begin turning brown and by mid September be completely dead. The course will continue to be open for play through this eradication period. Dependent on the amount of rain we receive during this process the course should remain very playable, though not green.

We appreciate the membership’s support and patience through the short term pains that will ultimately end with a new and improved golf course that will be conditioned at a level which will far exceed your expectations.
