Eagles nest

We've taken away the mud and grass away from the corner area at the eagles nest in front of the ladies restroom and added gravel, rock, and a few small mexican feather grasses.  We are hoping this will help this area drain better after a rain storm.

Cart traffic

Cart traffic is starting to show greatly around both golf courses.  Moving forward we will begin implementing a plan to limit traffic as much as possible.  Starting today, number 9 on the Whitworth will be roped off and cart path only for the next couple of weeks.  We will add more holes as more rope and stake comes in.  We will rotate holes roped off throughout the summer.

First tees.

The first tee boxes on the hogan and the Whitworth were aerified today.  Today we aerified, topdressed, fertilized, then watered in the white tee box on Whitworth and the white and blue tee box on Hogan.
Aerifying these tee boxes will help the turf plant a great deal.   Aerification helps with compaction and traffic that these tees experience.  We will continue to aerify these tee boxes more in the future to increase the overall health of the turf plant.
