LREP NOTES and COURSE UPDATE

LREP

• The water in the pond on #10 is approximately half a meter from the bottom. We are going to cut the liner to allow the remaining water to drain down into the ground. The ducks are next on the agenda. Hopefully they walk up the ramp themselves.
• The pump will move to #18 very shortly.
• In addition to the back 9 the entire driving range and chipping green area will also close on September 6th.
• CTC will be utilizing the haul road that crosses #9 and then in front of #1 tee to enable them to access the back 9 from another direction in addition to the service road south of the clubhouse. This was planned even though we repaired the road on 9.

COURSE UPDATE

• Conditions are not ideal this weekend. We are very short staffed due to a variety of circumstances so our mowing routines have had to be altered. We did manage to cut the back 9 rough today (Sunday) but in my review of the course I noticed one of the bunker rake machines was leaving a groove behind. Apparently my operator was only looking forward this morning. My apologies.
• There is still some minor weed control left for the front 9 and the fairways will be fertilized mid week.
• The weather is forecast to be very mild this week so we will not be raising the greens height until the temperatures cool off. I'll keep you posted.
• Fairway aeration will be dictated by the availability of the aeration company. Specialty Turf is behind in their work due to golf courses cancelling spring work (rain related) and rescheduling for the fall. Green and tee aeration is still planned for late September on the front 9.
