I feel like I am typing the same thing every week, but I'll do it again. It was a wet week and the course remains very wet. We were able to get a few big projects done despite the uncomfortable conditions. Monday we were able to topdress greens and fairways, and begin to remove the dead summer flowers.
The recently betrothed Emilio topdressing greens. Emilio and the lucky lady plan to be married sometime next year.
Torres brushing in the topdressing on the greens.
Cesar applying the fairway topdressing. We will do one more application of fairway topdressing this year.
There have been a set of trees identified on the course as being key trees to the playability and aesthetics of the golf course. Extra measures have been implemented to protect their well-being. A company was out this week to install lightening protection to some of these tree.

On Friday we began some of the fall aeration we will be doing. It was decided to aerate the junior tees due to the more apparent thatch layer. These tees are soil tees and hold water for longer periods of time resulting in an environment more conducive to thatch production.

The back practice tee and middle practice tee were also aerated on Friday.
Thanks Greg!
We also replaced a few of the retired summer flowers with some flowers for the fall and into early winter.
