COURSE MAINTENANCE

George Manuel

I hope everyone had a great Holiday despite our first winter storm of the season With the winter season upon us, we unfortunately find ourselves in the season of frost delays There are many reasons for frost delays; I would like to elaborate on a few things that golfers should know about the importance of frost delays While golfers in the southern parts of the country are able to play golf year-round, they must contend with the inevitable frost delay Ice crystals form inside the plant during a frost The plant becomes brittle and can be damaged by walking or driving over the brittle grass This damage can lead to death or weakening of the grass All though the damage may not be apparent immediately, it can take as long as month to recover from the damage caused by traffic on frost laden turf The Green surfaces are at the greatest risk of frost damage Mostly in part to the fact that they incur the most amount of traffic than any other area on the course A foursome can take approximately more than 300 hundred steps on a green Each one of those steps can lead to damage that can seen for up to a month It should be noted that once the frost has melted, that does not mean the frost delay will be lifted Once the frost has melted, the maintenance crew will still need to setup the course for play It can take up to an hour after the frost has dissipated before the first tee time will be allowed to start It is our intention to get the golfers that are eager to play out on the course as soon as possible; but frost delays are important for the overall health of the turf

I hope that we do not have many frost delays this year; but please keep in mind that it is to protect your course

Thank you, Golf Course Superintendent George Manuel

UPCOMING GOLF EVENTS

Justin Engel

As we start of 2023 the golf professional staff would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! We hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday season, and we look forward to what 2023 has in store! Last year was filled with great events and we look to further elevate our club events this coming year. We have added a couple of new events this year and hope that everyone will enjoy the events we have in store for 2023.

We will be revamping our practice facilities accessories and equipment in 2023. This will include an amenities station where you will have access to tee, divot tools, balls marks, sunscreen, towels, and range balls among other things. We will also be updating our club cleaning stations. Due to inventory on some items we hope to have this complete by the end of March. We hope this will greatly enhance your experience when using the practice facilities.

We will be hosting Next Round Golf on Sunday January 15th Next Round Golf is a company that allows you to trade in your used golf clubs in excha for pro shop credit There is no cost to you as a member and the process is very easy All you need do is bring in your old clubs and drop them off! This a great chance to clean out your old inventory of go clubs!
