Greens Aerification
 |
| Aerifier collecting the cores |
Greens aerification was completed Tuesday afternoon and through the day on Wednesday, with 18 holes back open for play on Thursday of this past week. Our process went very smooth considering that we needed to work within the only 48 hours we had without any rain. All greens were punched with 5/8 hollow tines, pulling out the aerification plugs. All the plugs were cleaned and the sand was swept back into all/most of the holes.

| Brushing in the sand |
Next week we will be doing some touch up work and adding sand to a few areas where it is needed. The putting green was completed about 9 days ago and it is healing nicely. Assuming we have some nice warm days ahead of us we should see the greens be completely healed in the next two weeks.

#6 Tee
 |
| There it is |
As many of you are aware the 6th tee struggles to maintain adequate grass, this is due to the horrific environment that it sits in, back in mosquito ally. This tee sits back in the trees it has little to no air movement and receives little to no sun most of the day. It is constantly wet and has been in need of some attention.

| Seed lines are growing |
We have got some grass growing on this tee and it is important that we see to it that we are successful. With all the major events on the golf calender being complete we have decided to close the tee for play the rest of the year.
Over the next few weeks you will see us put some fertilizer on this tee, and most likely we will get a cover on it when it starts to really get cold. As we tend to this tee gingerly we appreciate it if all players can use the temporary tee that has been shaved into the rough in-front of the large tee box. We also ask that you respect our fence that is being used to keep anyone from trying to get back there. As always we appreciate your support
