Beginning on Wednesday, July 28th, we will be temporarily closing the green on hole number twelve; in the interim said green will be located in the approach. Although the green is tolerating the heat and foot traffic fairly well, we are going to take some preventative actions to ensure the continued well being of the turf. The green is being closed for work only and should be open for play by the end of next week.
In the next few days, it appears that we might experience a slight break in the current weather pattern that has held us in its grip. If this holds true, we would be remiss if we did not take measures to assist the green in the recovery process. During this brief respite, the ground crew will be plugging, seeding and in some areas sodding the weaker areas.
The Golf Course Operations Department is also in the process of preparing greens number eight, twelve, thirteen and fourteen for new fans. The electrician is on sight and the poles will be in the ground in the next day or two. The fans will be installed and operational by mid-August.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our office at 425-0160.
Sincerely,
Walter K. Pritchett, CGCS
Director of Golf Course Operations
