Back on Track


The 7th and 8th holes are back in play as of tomorrow morning. Today the staff removed a lot of silt and debris around both holes. Conditions are still wet in areas but playable.
When conditions dry out enough we will brush these areas again to remove more silt. There is only so much we can get out at a time. Any damage that will occur may take weeks or months to surface. The silt can cover the crown of the plant and begin a slow death. Numerous attempts will be made to remove as much silt as possible. We have been fighting growth and wet soils to remove the material.
We will be keeping an eye on these areas as the season progresses. Aerification may be necessary in areas to penetrate the soil profile for new growth.
