The winter trails have been groomed. It was great to see them getting some use this week. If you’ve been out, then you know that we’ve had to cross the trail a few times with our truck and chipper to complete our tree work. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, and with no snow for the past […]

Saying goodbye to anything that you’ve depended on to be successful, on any level, is tough. It makes you reflect on what you’ve accomplished, as an anchor of your program. In my opinion, the staff is our biggest asset. Human Capital is an intangible asset that you invest in over the long-term, with education, training, […]
Continue readingThe weather has flipped. I was hoping that it wouldn’t come this quick, as it has seemed to come earlier each year for the past three years. Looking at the forecast, and the extended models, it looks like the flip isn’t changing course. With the forecasted low temperatures in the 20’s and 30’s, and the […]

With the rain last night, and forecasted for most of the morning, the golf course will be open for play, but walking only. No carts will be allowed today. The weather pattern that we’ve been in the past 7 days have been anything but kind. I’m certain I haven’t seen the golf course this wet, […]

Our department has seen a unusually large uptick in unrepaired ball marks on greens this Fall. Today, I blew off every green on the course and counted every unrepaired mark. On average, there were 25 marks per green that were not repaired! (Some had as many as 40, some as little as 15). So lets […]

By now, you probably have noticed the new fairway expansion grassing lines. We’ve been slowly lowering the height of cut on these areas for the past 3 weeks, and are at a height that is now easily noticeable. These grassing lines are part of the Master Plan, which is bringing back the original Seth Raynor […]

Last night’s storm brought us 2.75″ of rain, after 2:00 am. The golf course had already received 1.95″ since last Saturday. With the ground being saturated, and the rain that fell this morning, there is no where for it to go. Even areas of the course that do have drainage (including bunkers), are not working […]

This page will be designed to ask any question you may have. It might be about the Master Plan, or it could be about something you’ve seen or heard, that you’d like clarity on. Whatever question or comment comes to mind, this is the place for it! So I’ll start with a common question that […]

This morning’s wave of lightning and light rain have kept us off the golf course. Just like golfers, we cannot afford to be on the course with lightning present. We are currently in a holding pattern, while the system moves through. It’s hard to predict how long it will last, as we thought it was […]

We don’t like settling for good. Good is going with the same approach time and time again, and not worrying about the results. Good is mediocrity. Instead, we focus on the end product, and must adapt our approach, given the year and conditions Mother Nature provides. Each year is different, which at times, creates frustration […]
