Course and Grounds Update

These 2 guys were seen early morning on Saturday to the right of 11 golf hole
The Grounds Department and Matt Huggins are making some irrigation enhancements to Cherry Hill Drive. Soon, the all shoulders of the roadway at this location will be irrigated... Allowing for finer turf grooming and lees erosion into Lake Dye.
The boring machine travels under the road without causing damage to the surface.

The Golf Course Staff and Kyle Johnson have completed the greens aeration and are now focusing on:
1. Approach aeration
2. Tee aeration
3. Fairway aeration
4. Vertical mowing fairways and scalping
5. Sod repairs
6. Topdressing fairways
7. Bulkhead construction at #7 tee complex
8. Weed Control
9. Irrigation maintenance
10. Fertilizing the course
Look closely, I saw this owl a month ago to the right of #2 golf hole

Matt Huggins and the grounds staff recently installed new grass under some of the Live Oaks at the Main House. It looks great.

The Grounds staff has the rose garden at main house in top shape.
