Cinco de Mayo

Pond

Dredging has begun.

The snow is almost gone except for bunkers and some cart paths. We are however very wet, so the course will remain closed today (3-29) but we should be good to go tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding. Also, as a reminder we will be aerifying greens and tees next Monday thru Wednesday, April 1st thru the 3rd.

As you are all well aware, we are getting caught up with our average snowfall for the year. So far we have 14.7" with another 7-13" expected tonight thru tomorrow. Our average annual snowfall for this area is 20". In case you are wondering it takes 10" of snow to equal 1" of rain so we are still a ways off in terms of getting caught up on total moisture.

Happy New Year everyone! As I'm sure you all know the club is closed until the 15th of January. Due to the  snow on the course we will be closed to walkers until the snow melts. Please check back for updates on the status of snow cover during this period.

Fall sodding almost complete. Here's just a few photos of what we've done so far in the fall of 2012.

Just an update on a few things going on with maintenance over the past month. The weather continues to be mild and dry. Mild is fine, it's the dry part that concerns me since we are 16 inches behind for the year.

- Sod has been replaced on several bunker faces throughout the course.
- Part of the cartpath has been replaced on #5
- Pre-emergent has been applied to our rough
- Post-emergent has been applied to the native areas.

Upcoming  projects

- Roundup will be sprayed on the fairways in December. The main target is Poa.
- Cartpath repair work is being planned to fix damage incurred from The Midwest Classic.
- Details to dredge #14 pond are still being ironed out
