LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Above average rainfalls continued in August
keeping the golf course very wet and the driving
range closed. The makeup of the soil is the root of
the problem. Throughout the years the soils had
compacted which limits percolation to the drain
tile, keeping the soils very wet for a long period of
time. In order to repair this, we need to renovate
a portion of the range & bring in a profile that
allows a better percolation rate, allowing water to
move into the drain tile.
We will be doing our last aerification of the
Summer on September 10th & 11th with 3/8
hollow tines. We are very pleased with the health
and condition of the putting surfaces heading into
the Fall & Winter season.
