The Week Ahead And Other Notes

Next Week

  • Continued tie in work and sodding along the new asphalt paths 
  • Continued cart path leveling and gravel addition
  • Greens will be vented (very small holes), verticut and topdressed early Monday morning. If we cannot stay ahead of the first tee time we will finish up on Tuesday morning.
  • Aeration and overseeding where required in the rough to improve some of the walk off areas and compaction from CTC work over the last 2 years.
Service Areas
  • Once tie in is complete we will return to install paving stone "side out's" for the ballwashers, benches and garbage containers. 
Planting Beds
  • Maureen and I have reviewed her plans for the new beds next to the 11th green and the practice green. We have also discussed her ideas for the 13th tee and the large bed at #16 tee. She now has the time to begin planting and it will look great (over time). Because we plan to put an emphasis on perennials it will take a season or 2 of growth before they really fill in. I can tell she is excited to get going judging by how animated she was while we were out there. She is also going to do a little work at the bridge on 18. Stay tuned.
  • She will also be planting hops alongside the exposed fencelines near the 12th green and along the path to #13 tee. Keep an eye out for her work at the old path as well.
Yardage Markers
  • I have dropped off the information at Behrends Bronze for new brass markers on #10, #13 and #18. Once they are manufactured they will be installed immediately. Keep in mind they aren't made overnight.
Turf Hound Synthetic Turf
  • As of today the shipment is moving through Montana and should be delivered to the Club on Tuesday.   We will pick a slow time and install at that point.
The New Tees On 13 and 18
  • They are almost ready. We should have them open for the anniversary weekend.
All for now,
Wade
