Aerification of greens will take place September 6,7,8 We are using the same small coring tines we used in June to minimize healing time and disruption of playability We will be going two directions this time, but this will not change our ability to recover quickly. We will also be interseeding into our aeration holes in areas needed to help some areas recover from summer stress. Aeration of the courses tees, fairways and green surrounds in early August was a success. Thank you again for allowing us to remain closed during this very important agronomic practice. We have already seen the positive impact of this when it comes to course conditions and the ability to get off the cart paths much quicker than normal after rain events This Summer brought many challenges to bentgrass managers in the southeast. We experienced record breaking heat in June followed by very humid and wet conditions in July. Thankfully August brought us an early fall giving us the opportunity to start recovery from Summer earlier then normal. Much of the work we did last year helped us improve turf quality on many greens, while we know we still have work to do on others Tree work completed on 1 and 10 made an immediate impact on not only the greens, but green surrounds as well. We will continue this process of improving air flow and shade issues by carefully selecting what trees to remove around each of the remaining problem greens. We will be starting on 9 and concentrating on the area directly behind the green which blocks the flow of the prevailing Summer breeze. We will then move on and assess each green individually to evaluate the need for more tree removal We are currently discussing the possibility of adding fans on several holes as well Cart path work was completed on holes 3,6 and 8. We are prioritizing other holes and discussing the possibility of continuing to improve cart path conditions throughout the rest of the course. We have many exciting events at the club this Fall and we look forward to seeing everyone on the course, Thanks for your continued support!
