Coming out of the storm...

A dusting of snow on the course today, however the rest of the week is looking quite promising. This week, the staff will continue to topdress fairways in preparation for the winter season. We also plan to blow out the irrigation system this week. It is critical to drain the system thoroughly for the wintertime. Soil temperatures and evaporation rates are low enough now to rely on Mother Nature for moisture. In the event of a dry fall, tank watering will be neccessary to prevent dessication and turf decline late in the season. As long as the weather stays nice, the golf course will be open for play.
