None-the-less it is coming around with the more recent warmer temperatures and periodic rains that we have been getting. One of the weakest fairways was number 7 and I have been monitoring it closely.It has made huge advancements and is nearly filled in throughout the fairway. We have fertilized the entire course with a mixture of controlled and quick release nitrogen, some phosphorous and potassium in an effort to push the Bermuda and stimulate growth. Now it is paying dividends

The greens are in the best shape I have seen them in for the month o June. They were a bit slow to heal this year with the cooler temperat but that is one of the downsides to the A-1/A-4 bentgrass in the sprin It really likes warmer soil temperatures and demands them to get rec in the spring They are putting great right now and are very healthy have had numerous incidents of vandalism on the greens where it w appear to be someone taking the back of their putter and slamming the green multiple times. The worst case of this was on number on g but I have seen it on a few other greens throughout the course as we If anyone has seen or heard anything that may help us to be able to the culprit of this damage, I would greatly appreciate it

In the coming weeks we will be aerifying the fairways, tees, and collars on the course as well as the driving range tee We have focused our efforts in recent weeks on detail work. Cart paths have been edged, bushes have been trimmed and beds cleaned up both at the clubhouse and around the course. And yet again we continued with the relentless task of picking up pinecones and sticks. Our efforts have largely been focused on routine maintenance and detail work.

We have received several compliments on the course conditions, and I would like to thank you all for those Some have come directly to me, and others have been to the staff directly Whatever the avenue, my staff and I greatly appreciate them.

As always, I look forward to seeing you on the course!

Regards,

Craig Clemmer, Superintendent
