We have successfully dodged the storms so far today. We received a little rain but nothing to speak of. The lack of storms will mean that we wont have to spend all day tomorrow fixing bunkers and the greens should stay firm and fast for the weekend. There is still a chance of storms this evening but with luck we will have a great tournament prep day tomorrow for the 'Meet me at the Rock' tournament on Saturday. The National Weather Service predicts that the James River will stay well below flood stage so nothing to worry about. We are wrapping up small projects and mowing for the weekend.
On Monday, we are getting involved in a great project to re-grass the area around the Clubhouse Putting Green. This area will consist on new rough-height turf as well as a chipping area for pitch and chip shots onto that green. The new irrigation that we installed a couple of weeks ago will insure this projects success.
On Tuesday, we will re-grass the surround and part of the tee top on the first tee. This area has been tall fescue and has been unsuccessful due to the large amount of traffic that this walk on, walk off area sees. The new grass should be ready for traffic and play in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience during this time of improvement.
