Heading Into July Already

Its hard to believe that July is quickly approaching already. We have been so busy that the days have flown by. I don't think that perception will change anytime soon though as there is plenty to do out on the course. Before I list the "week ahead" I would like to express a thank you to my staff.  It has been a grind at times with all the sod work to date and more to follow as we work on the new path edges and repair the haul roads. However the 90th Anniversry celebrations were a welcome change to our day to day routines. The new flags (for Saturday and Sunday), the new tee markers, the bbq's, the member functions and finally the beautiful fireworks display really brought home to me the unique atmosphere at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.  The centennial celebration will be a sight to behold I imagine.

On a side note. You haven't really experienced fireworks unless you are right down in the launch area. Wow!!

On The Course:

• Continued cart path tie in work
• Maureen will be starting work in the new beds soon. 
• Topdressing tees this week (day to be determined)
• Some spot core aeration on some approaches ( the 14th approach for example is a good starting point as witnessed by that stubborn sod patch we cannot keep alive)
• More greens repair
• Fungicide application on greens (weather conditions are prime for a few diseases to pop up)
• Install of the Turf Hound synthetic turf at the driving range on Tuesday right after the 8:30 shotgun

Note: We will be installing the turf from the west to the east. I have no idea how long it will take but as we progress towards the fence line we will be able to open sections as we go. The Golf Shop will keep you informed.

• Weed control along the east fence line of the driving range
• Netting work at the short game practice area
• More haul road work
• Dave is building a new sand/seed bottle holder for the 13th tee which leads me to...................

FAIRWAY  DIVOTS. 

Another reminder to please replace your divot and use the sand/seed for a light topdress afterwards. It did not look good out on my tour this morning. The fairway mowers chop up the turf plugs and that doesn't look good either. Thanks for your help.

All for now,

Wade
