Our team has been busy this week preparing and sodding collars. We completed 1 - 7, 9, 12, 14, and 18. We will finish all work next week. Please play these areas as ground under repair. The rules of golf cover sod and sod seams so please take relief. We will be quickly growing these areas in, lowering the height of cut, and preparing them for play. The rest of the week will be spent preparing and setting up the course.
This is a busy time of year for our staff and the golf course. Play and work are constantly happening at the same time. The nature of the course places tees and greens very close and there are many adjoining fairways. Please be mindful of our staff as they are mowing, watering, or performing other essential maintenance practices. Our team is mindful of pace of play and want to minimize any disruptions. There are times when we have to work during golf. Thank you for your patience and caution in these situations. This video from the USGA is a good reminder about balancing golf and work on the course.
Have a great weekend,
Jordan Booth, CGCS
