Hopefully by the me you read this that we are experiencing warm sunny days and warmer nights. Over the last month we have seen our Champion greens come out of dormancy completely and we are lowering the heights weekly. We have started lightly topdressing to keep the greens smooth and roll true. The common Bermuda grass that is over the rest of the golf course is slowly star ng to wake up very slowly but I am seeing more new green grass every day. We will fer lize the en re golf course in May which will help speed up the growth of the grass. Throughout this month, we will start pruning up the canopy of the trees which will allow more sunlight under the trees to increase growth of the turf. Due to the slow start of the growth of the fairways I am reques ng that you keep the golf carts in the rough and stay off the fairways un l further no ce. As we do this it will allow no compac on on the plant as it starts to grow. Finally, I would like to thank Bob Adams for his contribu ons to purchase the new holes signs on the golf course. It is with the support of all the members that we can con nue to improve Colonial Country Club to reach its highest poten al every day. Thanks, John T. Dawson, GCS and Birdie

GOLF NEWS Members, The tournament commi ee has decided to postpone this year s Men s Member Guest Tournament from June 12 13 ll August 14 15. This decision was made a er an evalua on of our current golf course condi ons and the expected growth between now and June. The extremely cold condi ons in late February and early March have slowed the growth of our Bermuda grass fairways and damaged several of our tees. Re sodding of these teeing areas is taking place now. Given warmer weather and addi onal grow in me; all of our affected areas should be significantly be er in August. We always want to present the best product possible and especially when you are hos ng guests for our biggest tournament of the year. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to par cipa on.
