Along with cooler temperatures, the changing of the seasons has brought an influx of leaves to the golf course and club grounds. Heavy winds and rains have contributed to increased leaf fall and it takes a lot of staff hours to blow, rake and remove these leaves. Thank you for your patience during this time of transition.
We will continue with bunker improvements until the bunkers freeze this winter. Contaminated sand will be removed, clean sand will be added and evenly distributed, bunker liner will be fixed or replaced and edges will be trimmed. The timing of our work allows us to disrupt as little play as possible. If you see a 'Ground Under Repair' sign in a bunker, please remove your ball and drop within two club lengths, no closer to the hole. It takes time and a lot of packing for the sand to settle. With over 60 large, intricate, highly flashed bunkers, our work is never done, so we thank you for your patience while we continue bunker management.
Finally, the Green and Grounds Committee along with our Horticulturalist, Chuck Cassick have worked tirelessly to improve the presentation of our parking lot. The fall is the best time to plant shrubs and other perennials as the roots are allowed the majority of the plant's carbohydrates to expand and grow. You will continue to see a lot of plant material being installed and fresh mulch applied in the parking lot islands. Thank you for respecting traffic cones and directions as our team works to improve this area.
Have a wonderful Holiday season and we look forward to seeing you around the Club.
