Catching Up On Things & Fall Update

I can't believe it but October is here and the Fall golf season is slowly slipping through our fingers.  The abnormally cool weather has hindered what was previously some of the best weather of the season but that hasn't slowed down the Grounds Department.  It has been a while since my last post so earlier today I used some archives to provide some reminders on some very valuable information and I will follow that with some addition information via pictures to get everyone caught up.


Aerial View of 6 & 15 with all the fall colors (via drone & Mr. Rick Smith)



Drainage work completed on 5 fairway
 
Using technology to monitor moisture on the greens

Apprehended a few moles on 14 green once again this year

Removal of damaged Maple Tree @ the putting green


Aerification completed

Aerial view 5 & 7 (via drone & Mr. Rick Smith)

My son & I were able to get to a game @ Ohio State

Improvement needed by membership following cart restrictions when conditions warrant to avoid this ugly sight

Cross Country & Soccer have made the weekends a very busy time but very enjoyable family time

Ball mark repair...every golfer needs to repair upon arriving to the green.

Some beautiful fall sunrises

Addition aerification/seeding of some of the tees  (12 tee)
Tee markers will be moved forward on these tees to allow recovery

Middle range tee has been sodded & the seeding of the back range tee completed
Please use range mats to allow recovery
The family course is available as bronze ball designates the tee
 
Scenic view from 13 tee
Hopefully the Fall season will hang around as long as possible so the course and all its beauty can be enjoyed. 
 
Lastly with Halloween just around the corner.......

Stay safe this Halloween & avoid the Zombies!
