COURSE NEWS
DECEMBER 2017
November was an excellent month for course maintenance. The overseed germination went as planned and Mother Nature gave us a huge boost with seasonal temperatures and an occasional shower, allowing us to produce outstanding course conditions for the annual season kickoff, the Autumn Classic.
As we continue into the winter months, I would like to highlight the importance of weather awareness. Whenever temperatures dip below 42°, we have the potential to have frost on the course. When this scenario happens, please keep off the turf until you have spoken with the Professional Shop or Course Maintenance personnel, as it only takes a couple of footprints to create significant damage to the turf. Additionally, now that we have completed the overseeding process, we ask that you please do not fill your divots on the tees, as the maintenance crew will fill them with a sand and seed mixture. However, we encourage you to continue filling your divots, using the green sand provided on your cart, on the fairways and rough.
Thank you in advance for doing your part to ensure that our course remains in perfect condition.
Happy holidays and we look forward to seeing you on the course!
Brandon Richey, Golf Course Superintendent
