Greetings from Bright's Creek,
This past week we had several days above 80 degrees which helped accelerate the growth of course turf. The greens are still healing from aeration but are starting to fill in nicely. Fairways and tees are almost fully greened up and we are now mowing on a weekly basis. We are still treating the annual bluegrass evident in the Bermuda. A second herbicide has been applied to all fairways and tee surfaces to eliminate this weed. Unfortunately, given the time of the year, we do not have an herbicide that is safe to spray close to the greens. Subsequently, we are not able to treat the collars around the greens. As the weather continues to warm the Bermuda grass will gradually choke out this weed in these areas.
Construction is moving along well at the Amenity Center. Framing continues on the main building, and we expect to start on the pool house within the next 30 days. Please note that this is an active construction site managed and supervised by Hendricks Construction. While understanding the natural curiosity, we do ask that members and residents refrain from going to the site to review progress.
As a reminder, we ask all members to return their cart once they have completed play, regardless of staying on property or not. With an increase in Members, full-time residents, and overall activity, we have increased the focus on managing our cart fleet. While we have ordered six more carts for this season, we do not have a large enough fleet to accommodate Members wanting to keep carts overnight or for multiple days. We will need all our carts to accommodate Member play while appropriately rotating, cleaning, and servicing each cart.
Registration forms have gone out for our Spring Member-Guest. Please call the pro shop for more information and to register for this event. We look forward to a larger field this year and a great weekend of golf.
Regards and thank you for your support of the club,
Steve Alden | General Manager
