Bunker Edging

Late fall is a great time of year to edge bunkers. Grass has stopped growing and every new edge done this fall will be fresh for the spring. By doing late edging the grounds staff is able to concentrate on spring clean-up and ready the course for play.

Tree Root Pruning

On Monday the last day of October the grounds staff is root pruning along side three Crimmson King Maples on the North side of the putting green. Pruning will help reduce drought conditions along the collar an into the putting surface. A 1/8 thick inch plastic barrier is set into place after a trench is cut 18 inches deep.

Wet Conditions

After a weekend of rain on October 15th and 16th, the course is slow to dry out. As the grounds staff travels the course they find many wet spots.

Tree removal

The Beech tree between #5 and #8 will be removed as well as the Pine tree directly behind the pump house on #14.

Topdressing Tees

Tees are an important part of the course. Topdressing tees with sand helps to firm the surface and dilute the thatch layer. Although we started topdressing tees in late summer we have 3 applications down and are seeing good results.
