Opening Day Approaches!

Our official opening day will be this Friday the 11th!  While the use of carts will be dependent on the Thursday rain forecast, I am confident that at least walkers should be able to play without too much difficulty.  The crew will be out stirring up the last few bunkers that have been underwater for the last few days as well as getting all the accessories back on the course.  We should be ready, but please bear with us as there is still much to do to get the course where we need it to be.

First of all, please recognize that the greens just woke up from a long winter.  We are mowing a little above our normal mowing height to keep from picking up the sand we applied in the fall.  They may not be as firm and fast as we like, but with a little more time and dry weather we should be there soon.  I think they will be quite playable.

Secondly, we haven't had enough dry days to get things as clean as we normally like them.  With wet weather and the rough not really growing, a few leftover leaves and sticks (plus the occasional goose turd) may sully the area until the rough grows up and we do some mowing.

Given the winter we had, I am VERY pleased with how the course handled things.  With some warmer weather coming (and hopefully less rain), we should be up to speed in no time.

See you all out there!

PS - Blog follower's privilege - The pins will likely be in the greens Thursday afternoon.  If you happen to decide to play the temps Thursday, they will not have pins in them so I guess you may just have to use the greens.
