Ug...Is it going to be 2010 again.....

The heat is here and I would like to remind everyone to be cautious when driving carts on fairways.
Sharp turns will kill the bentgrass!  It may not look like much at first, but several days down the road  the plant will decline and eventually die.  We sure don't want a repeat of last year.  If temps continue to stay high we will move carts to rough only.  Contact the golf shop for that days cart ruling.
Thanks

THE NEW RESTROOMS ARE NOW OPEN

We are still waiting for LG&E on the electrical installation,
so battery powered lights have been placed in the restrooms.
Please shut-off the light when you leave to conserve the battery life.
Thanks

A FEW UPDATES

We did have some Dollar Spot show up Sunday morning in the fairways.
The above picture is what it looks like standing up and the picture below is a
closeup.  The disease has now been treated and should heal up fast. 
Please replace your divots at the chipping fairway.

Cart rule update































Yellow ropes will now be placed in sensitive areas on a few fairways.
Do not take carts across the yellow rope.  Drive carts directly to the
cart path.  Please do not drive in the rough area beyond the line either.

I apologize for the slow green speeds through the weekend.  We experienced mechanical
issues with the green mower units and some scalping occured.  We had
to raise cutting heights to allow the greens to recover.

Practice Facility


We are going to keep records on recovery time for the range tee.
So far it is looking very good, though we do need your help in placing
sand in the divots
 




We are also doing some experiments with pre-germinated seed at the chipping
fairway.  I hope this will increase recovery time.

Welcome back Wednesday for the Ladies

Welcome back to the ladies, as they have been rained out on their past two Wednesdays.
Sorry about the rough ladies!
