After all the wet and cloudy weather in July and early August the greens began to gain a lot of thatch, organic matter covering the surface, which caused the greens to develop "Bermuda Grass Decline". We applied two applications of fungicide/bactericide to make sure we rid the disease. An abundance of fertilizers have been applied within the last few weeks to really get the grass back going again. 

As we come in October and November there will be a lot of work going on around the course. Overseeding the greens and tees with "Poatrivialis" and a Winter Rye grass will occur Monday, October 17th. With this being said, the greens will not be mowed and will be rather rough, sandy and fuzzy for about 3 weeks or until good growth has occurred.  Tree trimming and irrigation work will be another line of duty for the winter months. 

Weather permitting, the drains will be put in on number 3 fairway and right side of green and also left of number 5 green. 

I'd like to thank all the volunteers for their help through out the growing season and those who put together the new landscaping around the club house.
