Update

View from the clubhouse


The weather continues to be hit and miss, but there have been more good days than bad over the last week.  So far, the forecast for the weekend looks good.  The precipitation history page has been updated with the monthly total from May. 

With the grind of fairway aeration behind us, it was nice to be able to focus on mowing and daily preparations this week.  You may have noticed the poll question on the right side of the blog page.  If you have not seen it yet, check it out and cast your vote.


Not top ten nominee

Last Saturday someone took a hack out of the 12th green right next to the cup.  The picture above shows what it looked like on Sunday morning before the hole location was changed.  Hopefully, this was done by the last player of the day, so no one else had to putt through the divot.


Aeration cores spread next to the path on hole 12

You may have noticed that some of the fairway aeration cores have been spread out  in various areas throughout the golf course.  They were spread and leveled in areas where we wanted to improve turf conditions.  As they grow in, they will begin to look more like grass, and less like piles of dirt.


Aeration cores

Speaking of aeration cores, we still have some for sale for those who are interested.  For more information call the maintenance shop at (541) 997-4530.  Aeration cores can easily be used to create a nice lawn for a cheap price.
