COURSE MAINTENANCE

Kevin Butts Director of Course & Grounds

Here we are at the end of another season How did it go by so fast?! We made some great improvements this season with more to come in the off season We implemented many agronomic practices on our greens this year, which has shown its benefits at the end of the season We have completed multiple aerifications and spread over 100 tons of sand in and on our greens We have also done multiple verticuts These practices improve the health, as well as firm up our putting surfaces We have also completed some large drainage projects as many of you have seen With close to 1000 linear foot of drainage tile installed in the last month, we should see an improvement on drainage and playability of holes 9,11,12 and 18 These were improvements to each hole in addition to replacement of existing drainage systems

We are currently prepping the course for the dreaded winter We will be finishing out the season with more agronomic practices on tees, fairways and roughs We finished with core aerification and verticutting on tees at the end of October, and will be finishing deep tining fairways at the beginning of November

We have many projects we plan to work on through the winter with dead tree removals, irrigation work, and walk bridge rebuilds Along with a long list of things like prepping our equipment for spring and prepping and repairing golf course accessories In just a few weeks we will be shutting down our irrigation system and winterizing it Once this is done we will continue to replace valves that have given us problems during the season as well as replace old heads in areas that have broken or have poorly working heads We have a lot to accomplish this winter and we are focused on creating an even better golf course for 2023

We will continue to improve all aspects of this amazing property and hope to get a lot accomplished this fall season Everyone here in Maintenance is excited to have the fall weather and hope to see you all out playing golf and enjoying it with us before the dreadful winter season approaches!

Holiday Wellness Tips:

Maintain Good Health and Start the New Year Off Right!

Since the holidays are considered the season of giving and thinking of others, it can be way too easy for you to lose yourself in the fray Holiday stress can easily get you down, and ruin what’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year Don’t let it overpower your holiday cheer, though Fortunately, these stress free holiday tips are a great place to start on your journey to better mental and physical health If you ’ re planning to see loved ones this holiday season, here are a few useful tips to help you keep your eyes on the healthy prize!

Prioritize “Me Time”. Taking some much needed “ me time” isn’t selfish; it’s a necessary component to leading a healthy and active lifestyle Do some yoga, take a relaxing walk, schedule a personal spa day by yourself, or simply take some time to catch up on some reading Bottom line: taking time to de stress, detoxify, and take care of yourself is one of the best mental wellness tips we can give Your mental health will thank you for it Stay Active and Find Ways to Occupy Your Time. People typically associate staying active with exercising but leading an active lifestyle can entail so much more than just going to the gym all the time A great holiday wellness tip is to acknowledge the activities you enjoy and continue to work them into your holiday schedule Plan Ahead to Avoid Last Minute Stress. Stay on top of your errands and to do list Planning ahead and getting your holiday shopping done early can help you avoid the stress of having to brave the hordes of last minute shoppers You can feel satisfied knowing that all your holiday shopping and preparations are done well ahead of schedule and you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday season Stick to Your Budget. When the time comes to start your holiday shopping and preparations, make sure to create a strict budget and stick to it. Participating in gift exchange programs with set spending limits commits you to having to purchase fewer gifts, making it easier to track your spending and ensuring that you come out of the holiday season still in the black.

Enjoy Quality Time with Loved Ones Making time to visit old friends and relatives is exactly what the holiday season is all about While it can be exhausting to try to make time for every single person in your life during this time of year, even a simple phone call or Christmas greeting is enough to brighten up another person ’ s mood just to let them know that you ’ re thinking of them You might even notice that the more you do this, the more other people are willing to return the favor!
