We are 10 days out from our Spring core aeration on putting greens and we are very pleased with recovery. The greens have rolled poorly over the past 10 days as we expected but they are starting to turn the corner. We are currently back down to our normal height of cut but it will take a few days to get a good clean cut. Mowing in different directions will help smooth everything back out and we expect to improve speed and ball roll through the weekend and maintain a consistent, firm surface from here on out. Thank you for your patience during the aeration process.
We are close to having all of the fairways mowed for the first time. Wednesday night's rain but a damper on progress but we hope to finish up fairway mowing very soon. Once this is complete, we expect to be 90 degrees on all dry fairways. Once we make this change, there will be no more handicapped flags. Fairways will either be 90 degrees for everyone or no one.
You will notice cones blocking part of the cart path on #4. Mrs. Morris was kind enough to point out a large limb that had broken out of the top of a tree. The entire top of the tree is hanging precariously over the cart path so please avoid this area over the weekend. The tree will be removed on Monday along with the safety hazard.
