And, The Course Is Still Wet......

The weather dropped 2.0 inches of rain on Thursday evening, then 0.25 inches on Sunday evening, then 0.33 inches on Monday evening, so, the course is very wet. This mixed with an unusually cool October, and the decreasing daylight hours, and the course is not getting a chance to rid itself of soil moisture.

Work does continue. We are now in the process of tackling the fallen leaves on a daily basis. With the wet conditions that are currently in place, it is important to move the leaves off the turf as soon as possible. Having a layer of wet leaves over wet turf will suffocate the turf. We do this by utilizing large blowers pulled behind a cart to blow the leaves into the rough where they are mulched or chopped up with a rough mower.

Sodding thin areas, in the rough and a few spot in fairways, is currently underway as weather and soil conditions permit.

Our ability to mow the rough and the fairways continues to be evaluated day to day.

If you are venturing out to play, and carts are available, please do keep to the path where possible, and avoid wet areas, drains, and areas under trees.
