Cooler weather and the changing of the seasons bring excitement for small project and renovation work around our property. Since the 2016 tournament schedule has ended, we’ve started small projects over the past month improving play-ability and aesthetics while also preparing for aeration across all playing surfaces to setup our turf for next year. I feel we had another great season on the golf course, but also know the work ahead to continue improving the product and pushing forward my vision. Over the next few weeks, we will continue the process by budgeting, planning, and purchasing for next year along with the renovation of playing surfaces ensuring this operation continues to progress. We’ve also planned for a Green Committee Meeting, Saturday Oct. 29 at 2:00 p.m., to discuss the 2016 success and failures, this winter’s off-season plans and the Club’s goals for the Green Department going into next year. On behalf of my crew and the Green Department, thank you again for all your support this season!
