During the late fall, winter, and early spring months we restrict cart traffic to the cart paths in order to maintain a quality playing surface and limit winter damage to our Tifsport bermudagrass fairways. Today, we lifted these restrictions due to the warm weather and the growth of the fairways. Here is a brief article from the USGA concerning this topic.

We will also complete our bunker work today. We have successfully rebuilt 10 bunkers this winter and now we will begin on other improvements. We are very aware of the large amount of work that still needs to be done everyday to get our golf course in good shape for the summer. Winter weeds will be sprayed out now that the Tifsport has begun to grow, any winterkill in our tees, fairways and collars will be resodded and improvements are to be made to the area to the left of #9, the area to the left of #6 green and to the right of #13 green.
