We have spent a lot of time prepping the course and equipment for the golfing season. Now we can get to our routine maintenance schedule and spend more time on detail. It is warm enough for our warm season grasses to start growing and greening up with no more setbacks from frost and cooler nights. We have projects we will be scheduling in as time allows but most importantly, we will have the course set up for you to have the most enjoyable round as possible each day. As a reminder, please observe all signage and please repair all ball marks. This will not only make your next round more enjoyable but will also help us ensure everyone has the best playing surface possible as well as help the turf recover much faster. With warmer temperatures approaching, I encourage everyone to take advantage of each opportunity you can to come out and enjoy the course. Trevor Thomas Golf Course Superintendent
