The high temperatures and recent rain have our soil temperatures rather high and have reduced the oxygen in the root zone of our greens. To combat any potential issues that could arise from these factors we will be venting our greens with needle tines following the Men's Club Championship weekend. On Tuesday, September 3rd we will apply a very light topdressing of sand, vent the greens, matt in the sand with a coco matt and then follow up with a good rolling. There will be very little disturbance and once rolled, they will putt very nicely.
The past few days we have been able to make great strides on the bunker project on #17. All three of the new bunkers have been shaped and drained. Tuesday morning Ian Andrew our consulting golf course architect, will be painting the final contours in the bunkers. We will then install the bunker boards and back fill with topsoil to the new edges. Once the edges are established we will add the new sand and await sod. The rain and snow that we recieved over the last couple of days has had little effect on the rough shaping process. We are hoping for some drier days to complete the fine tuning and sod prepping.
