4 On The Course: 4 I hope all had a safe and happy holiday and wishing everyone the best for 2018! Overall from the golf course standpoint, 2017 was a successful year. A relatively normal summer had the bentgrass greens avoid major damage. July was extremely hot but we were spared in June and August. The worst years are when those 3 months have above average temperatures and humidity. It is amazing how the timing of the afternoon thunder showers Mcan a y make 2 0 1or 4break us. A late day rain with evening clearing is best versus the mid afternoon shower then a beating sun and most likely the temperature spiking to 90 degrees with very high humidity. A recipe for disaster, made even worse if an afternoon golf tournament is occurring with all the foot traffic. The rain was plentiful which allowed the bermudagrass to be very healthy. This helps our thin outer areas to fill in with grass coverage, especially where the trees have been removed. Hole #12 is our prime example of a plan coming to fruition, thanks to the donors of the Mimosa Hills Preservation Club. A firm pat on the back to Bill and Adam Beutell and their staff for the outstanding job done on adding close to 400 tons of sand to the bunkers. Another successful Preservation Club effort. There are some funds available from this years donations to remove some trees on hole #14 and put some sod down (i.e. near the cross fairway bunkers). Stay tuned for plans for Looking forward to a successful 2018 and we appreciate everyone s support! Dan Winters, Superintendent
