Hittingfairwaysthistimeofyearisessentialtogoinglow.It’snotuncommontosearchforaballinthe rough for a few minutes, or even losing it on some occasions when the Bermuda grass is as long and thick as it currently is Missing the short grass makes it extremely difficult to hit the ball close to the hole. For the next few months let’s focus on finding more fairways which in turn should help us attack theholelocationsmorefrequently.Let’stakealookathowItrytofindthefairwayoffthetee…

First: Play the ball off the inside of your left foot. This will allow you to hit the ball on the upswing insteadofhittingdownontheball Duringthetakeaway,turnyourleftshoulderbehindtheball(under yourchin),andkeepyourleftarmstraightduringthebackswing

Second: From the top of your swing, begin the downswing with a solid body turn, try to avoid swingingthegolfclubwithyourarmsasitcanmakeitdifficulttotimepropercontact Doyourbestto rotate your body toward your target on the downswing, this will get you turning in a proper manner.

GOLF TIP:

Golf Course Update

It is hard to believe that it’s already September. Time flies when you’re having fun. As we start to step away from the summer months, trying to keep everything maintained during peak growth, we now transition into a new time of year and a new season for us This time of year is just as critical if not more critical than all others Lots of planning and careful time-sensitive and temperature-dependent decisions are made during the fallwhichimpactthenearanddistantfuture.Ontopofdealingwithleafcleanupforthenextfourmonths,wewillbecarryingoutsomeimportant processes such as raising height of cut on greens/tees/fairways, Spring Dead Spot fungicide applications, pre-emergence herbicide applications for winter annual weeds, course-wide fertility, and overseeding. These things are all part of the plan between now and winter dormancy. The fun neverstops Everythingwedothistimeofyearhasanimpactonhowwesustainconditionsduringthewinter,andalsohowwetransitionOUTof dormancy in the spring All of these things were actually planned out in 2022 as part of the 2023 agronomic plan Over the next few months, we will be doing lots of reflecting about how things have gone so far this year and what may need to change for 2024.

This cookie is my great-grandmother’s fruit and nut cookie that my mother loved growing up. It’s an “old school” recipe, which, probably came from her family. My mother remembers her Pappy cracking and picking the walnuts, and remembers that her Gram would put the cookies in a lard can, covered with a cloth soaked in cheap wine to keep the cookies moist, and also to keep my mother out of the cookies,becausethelardcansweretoohardtoopen
