Aerification

We are right in the middle of the two busiest weeks of the year. The Nolan Tournament was a success despite the rain that hung around throughout the tournament. The drainage that was installed last Fall in the Greens performed beautifully. We received an inch of rain on Sunday and we were playing golf within an hour of the rain subsiding. The hard work has begun this week. The July aerification is the most physically demanding week of the year for the Green Staff. We have finished aerifying and topdressing the greens, fairways, and are currently working on the approaches. This is a time consuming process that requires some disruption of play to the membership. We may have to close a hole periodically to complete this process. The sooner we are completed, the sooner we can return your golf course to you. The recovery time on the greens should be approximately 10-14 days. The greens will remain soft during the recovery period so please remember to repair your ball marks. We thank you for your understanding during this process and appreciate your cooperation.
