The warm weather we are experiencing is a double edged sword. Its great for aeration but it also means the golf course will be booked solid. We have decided to finish the back nine fairway aeration/topdressing, aerate #1, and possibly get #2 aerated as well. Topdressing will be spread where required tomorrow morning and then we will stop work until Monday. It will be too crowded for us to work efficiently and you, the membership, can play the course for the next 4 days uninterrupted by the equipment. It also gives us a chance to catch up on leaf removal, mowing and bunker work in time for the weekend.
Frost will now occur any morning with temperatures in the low single digits. Remember that the temperature will drop right at the moment of sunrise so frost can appear later than you think. Also, down in the river valley it can be much cooler than in at your place of residence so don't be surprised if there is a delay when you arrive for your tee time.
I hope the changes we made at the bridge on #18 meet with your approval. I think it looks great and blends in well with the new look of the lake and the wall next to the green. We are now trying to get samples of dark green synthetic turf to install on the walkway to give it an even better look and feel. This might take a week or two.
