Blue Flags & Bird Houses....

I am sure that alot of our members have noticed the areas of the rough marked out with blue flags. These areas are going to become Native grassland areas of our golf course. There are 5 different areas marked around the course to be left unmowed. These areas are not going to be neglected, just not mowed. We are going to do some weed control until we can get a strong stand of native grasses to choke out the weeds. I think that once the grasses grow up, they will add some contrast to our property. For the most part they are out of play, but I am sure a few of us will find ourselves playing out of the long stuff. All that I ask is that our members avoid driving power carts into the areas. Foot traffic is fine, but cart traffic will matt down the grasses and prevent proper growth. You will also note that we have installed a number of bird boxes, we hope to attract some different species of birds to the property that may not have found a home here in the past. Once these areas have grown up to a noticeable height, we will remove the blue flags and enjoy our established Native areas.
