Project updates

I'm happy to report we are finally removing some trees around the golf course. The delay has been centered around the weather. The golf course needed to be dry enough to get heavy equipment in and around so we don't cause any turf damage. We started with the removal of some trees today (Monday) near #1 green and #2 tee. This will help during the winter months when we get frost. From there we removed some trees next to the #5 tee box to let in more light. Tomorrow ( Tuesday) we will be removing trees on #9 tee and down by the lake to open up the hole for enhanced playability.  After that is completed we have targeted some shade trees on #10 in the right rough on the other side of the lake. We have also planned a number of trees to be removed at the #14 restroom area. This is being planned for next Monday June 14th.  Be sure to check in with the pro shop before your round as we will be letting the pro shop know of our progress and detours, if any, while the work is being completed.

Sanding of the fairways took place today (Monday) with all fairways receiving about 3/16" of sand. This will really help in the long run by providing a smoother playing surface, improved drainage and help to reduce thatch.
