Reducing to one post per month allows for many things to happen between updates. Here is the November roundup:
The leaves started falling in earnest in the last 2 weeks,
but they took their time in October. This allowed us to focus on some projects
which was nice, but it only delayed the inevitable: the leaves will always
fall. We are fully into our cleanup process and golfers will see blowers and
the vacuum out at every possible occasion. Cold mornings and windy days make it
difficult, but we will keep plugging along.
Bunker renovation work is complete. We completed holes 1, 4,
9, and 10. We maintain a spreadsheet showing when each bunker was built and
last renovated, so although it may seem we jumped around randomly, these were the
holes that needed to be done. All the sod has been laid, the bunkers on holes 4
and 10 are reopened, and 1 and 9 will be open by next week.
Lastly, we replaced the “Practice Area Open/Closed’ sign
that was along the path towards the driving range. The previous sign was in
decent shape, however at some point late last summer, someone decided to take
the removable portion that read “open” or “closed”. Instead of making another piece
out of wood to replace it, we decided to continue our gradual upgrading of all
course signage and purchase a new sign that matched our tee signs.
It is in place now and looks very nice. Check it out next time you go to the
driving range.
We have had some cold days, but also some warmth mixed in. It has been just right to keep us very busy!
Etiquette Reminder of the Month
Please stay off all grass surfaces during a frost delay.
Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve
course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course
etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:
