Fall Aerification Schedule

After a July that seemed like it was never going to end, August is flying by and it's time to start thinking about getting the golf course aerified so that it's ready and healthy for next season.  So here is the planned schedule for the fall aerification process.  Please take this into account when you are making plans for golf in September.

Tuesday, September 4 we will be aerifiying and topdressing the tees.  If all is going well, we will probably also be aerifying the collars around the greens.

September 17, 18, 19 the fairways will be aerified.  Most years we are able to finish this process on Monday (while we are closed) and Tuesday, but depending on weather and equipment issues, it is possible for it to take longer.  Please remember that the days that we are working during play, nine holes will be closed in order to expedite this time consuming process.

September 24 and 25 is when the greens will be aerified.  We will try our best to get all 18 holes done in one day while we are closed, but there is a chance that we will have hole closures on Tuesday the 25th to finish up the work.

We thank you for your patience while the course undergoes this process.  If there are any changes to the schedule due to weather or other circumstances, we will keep you updated through the blog.

13 Green Vandalized

Last night 13 green was vandalized.  The vandals used the bunker rakes and the flagstick to dig a few holes and punch some deep ballmark-like holes in the green.  We have already repaired most of the damage, but there may be some spots on the green that are bumpy. 

This green was already struggling, and this is one more thing that we didn't need to deal with.
