GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

The fall will be an exciting time as we have started moving large equipment in for the Coore and Crenshaw construction Cart paths have been pulverized, more trees have been cut down and stump removal continues

Landscapes Unlimited now has their team onsite and Ryan Farrow (Coore and Crenshaw shaper) will be arriving mid month and remaining for the duration of the project Bill and Ben will be visiting in November to dial in their vision even further!

In the coming weeks and months, we will share updates of the progress If you haven’t seen the animated flyover of the course, please check it out on our website!

MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

Tony Giannetti

As we enter the fall season of golf, we cannot believe that the season is nearing the end. We hope you have been inviting your friends and colleagues to experience the Oaks Course. This is a wonderful time of the year to refer new members to the Club as our foliage peaks and the course shows another side of its beauty. Now is the time your friends and colleagues are assessing their club options for the 2023 golf season, and we would like the opportunity to speak with them.

Be sure to let Tony Giannetti and Justin Komins know who you are bringing to the Club so we can welcome them to the International!

TURFGRASS

Michael Galvin

Aeration is an essential program to keep playing surfaces healthy and in good condition Aeration primarily is performed to control organic matter i.e., decaying roots and grass stems relieve soil compaction, stimulate root growth and improve drainage. If organic matter becomes too thick, it acts like a sponge and holds water at the surface after rain or irrigation Excessive organic matter also inhibits root growth, reduces oxygen levels in the soil, encourages disease and eventually can lead to turf failure

Furthermore, excessive organic matter creates soft surfaces prone to ball marks, foot printing and inconsistent playing conditions. Aeration and topdressing are the most effective ways to control organic matter and maintain smooth, firm putting surfaces

Playing conditions are of the utmost importance for most golfers, and aeration is needed to keep turf healthy and playing well Aeration can be disruptive, but the long term benefits of aeration far outweigh the short lived disruption. The next time you play on greens that were recently aerated, keep in mind that aeration is performed for the long term health of the course.

COACHING TEE: PRE-SHOT ROUTINE

Paul Celano

Approach Shot Strategy

I am often bewildered when golfers miss greens to the short side of a flagstick In 98% of shot situations, you are better off playing your approach shots to centers of the green rather than aiming at the flagstick

This goes for chipping and pitch shots as well The distance aimed away from the flagstick in shorter shots may not be as extreme, but most times it would be beneficial to aim a few feet more to the right or left depending on the slope of the green.

RETAIL UPDATE

Jim Demallie

The fall has officially arrived in New England with the NFL season under way and the cooler temperatures occurring overnight The International golf shop is fully prepared to meet your fall golfing needs as well as your apparel needs.

Peter Millar, Foot Joy, and Greyson are all very well represented in both women and men ’ s lines The hot trend this fall will be the layering options permitting Layering permits you to start with three or four pieces and stripping them off as the round continues. The perfect 50 60 degree golfing layered outfit offered by Peter Millar would be a ¼ zip Perth Mélange performance shirt covered with the hyperlight hybrid jacket and a hyperlight hybrid vest

After a few holes and as the temperatures are getting warmer, you can maintain your comfort by taking each layer off based on your comfort.

The men ’ s and women ’ s Cokato Hoodie’s has picked up where they left off last spring for the fall The fall colors and multiple design options continue to be a very popular piece for the fall. The new fall collections are a big hit.

Please come by the golf store to see the newest arrivals daily
