We are excited to get the fall season started! 8 Jared Hotchkiss HEAD GROUNDSKEEPER As the seasons begin to transition from Summer to Fall, so do we on the golf course. Fall is a great time to recover any weak or stressed turf from the Summer heat! We also focus our efforts on preparing the turf for the Winter time cold. We will begin raising heights of cut on the tees and fairways (after the Fall Out Classic) to protect the turf from excessive cold temperatures. We will be implementing a new cart traffic policy this fall, two cedar stakes off the fairway. The stake closet to the tee box will be an entry stake. Please enter the fairway after the initial stake. Once on the fairway please keep the majority of the cart traffic on the fairway. Another stake will be placed off the fairway closer to the green. Once you have reached this stake, please exit the turf before the stake, and maintain cart traffic on the cart path only for the remainder of the hole. Par 3 s will not have any cedar stakes on them, please keep the carts on the cart path only for all the par 3 s. The purpose of this policy to alleviate cart traffic around tees and greens. Cart traffic can be detrimental to turf quality and density. Please be courteous of the members and their guest behind you. I f you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask me! See you on the golf course! Stay up to date on what we are doing on the golf course.
