Aeration Update And Some Important Information

Surprise!! The weather didn't cooperate with our best laid plans. A trend that has continued all season long. No matter as we have rescheduled the aeration of greens and approaches to the 7th and 8th of October. The front 9 will be closed on Monday and the back 9 will be closed on Tuesday. We managed to sneak in all the practice greens on Tuesday so all that is left are the 18 greens on the golf course. Enjoy one more weekend of good putting surfaces. The weather actually looks promising after we get by the next couple of days.

Over the next few weeks we will also be solid tine aerating the rough assuming we can stay ahead of the leaf cleanup which will be ongoing until the snow arrives or when the temperatures stay below zero and the ground freezes.

We will be working on the drainage problem at the Tee House beginning tomorrow. Hopefully the problem can be solved by replacing the drain line that leads to the large sump next to the lake edge.


Important Dates to consider:

• Greens aeration - October 7th and 8th.
• Course washrooms and drinking fountains closed for the season - October 7th. Portable washrooms will be brought in.
• Irrigation system blown out - October 16th and 17th.
• Lake aerators removed - October 16th.
• Fungicide applications - beginning October 4th for tees and continuing throughout the month on fairways, greens and some of the rough.

Course Closing:

• On or around the 31st of October. That date will be firmed up as we get closer to the end of the month and the condition of the course is assessed on a day to day basis.

All for now,
