Fairway Expansion #8

The fairway expansion on hole #8 near the pond is complete.  We have opened up the fairway as the master plan states around the pond, apparently to act as a type of bail-out area for golfers.  We have also overseeded the rest of the rough area and added some more stone around the pond. The area will need some warmer temps and time to fill in so please stay off the entire area as we get everything filled in and growing the way we want it to.

Finally off and Running!

After a very, very slow start and some recent wet weather we have started the mowing process.  Yesterday we double cut fairways...that's right double cut because we weren't satisfied with the single cut.  Coming out of winter some of the fairways are extra "shaggy"so we mow them until they look acceptable.  Also, please note the bottom picture of the brand new intermediate rough mower we have implemented today as well.  We will be cutting the intermediate rough right around the greens  and par 3 greens as we finally have a mower that can do the job properly.
