Almost go time......

With the weather forecast looking as it does...we can anticipate opening the golf course next week (March 7th).  Joe Pro and staff will be open on weds, and if all stays as is, the course will be open then as well.

We quad tined and over seeded the greens this week.  Pencil sized solid holes, barely noticeable.  Last falls major aeration has healed up completely already due to this crazy "winter" weather.  

We are just getting our staff back now so the amount of cleanuup and course prep to do is extensive.  Please be aware that there is a lot of work going on for the next 6 - 8 weeks in preparation for the season.  Having said that, you will still be able to come out and play to all 18 greens and enjoy some VERY early season play. 

It is extremely critical to the health and playability of the greens that players are diligent about ball mark repair.  Last year our greens were devastated by unrepaired ball marks.
Right now there is not a single ball mark on any of our greens, please do your best to keep them in this condition.  Grass is not growing now, so if the greens get clobbered with ball marks they can not heal.

If you do come out and play Please abide by the 3 basic rules of golf etiquette, this will ensure the others playing get to enjoy the course too -  And, the course conditions will not deteriorate.

PLEASE................

1) REPAIR ALL BALL MARKS ON GREENS

2) REPLACE DIVOTS (no sand available ) put divots back in place

3) RAKE BUNKERS


Thanks for checking in.....see you out there soon!!!

There is a limited supply of nearly dry split firewood available at the maintenance area.  If interested please call ahead (757-0555) to let us know you are coming.  I was able to burn some of this over the weekend with only minor "sizzling".
