What a summer we have had! Thank you to all of the players who came out for our 2021 Course Championship a few weeks ago. We had a record turnout of 116 players and had the largest ladies participation to date. We appreciate everyone's support of this premier 2 day tournament and look forward to hosting everyone again in 2022. We have a few more Wednesday night league outings. The final league night will be September 15. The shotgun time for the September League nights will be 6:00 pm due to daylight hours.

COURSE UPDATE

As you can see from the previous portion of the email the fall maintenance schedule has been modified.  We did small tine aerification on the putting greens this past week in preparation for the coming winter.  We have began to move the mowing height up as well to give the grass some more leaf to produce that photosynthetic energy and compensate for the shorter days.  Our next big step in prepping for the winter will be the fall aerification that is scheduled for September 20 and 21, then the healing prior to turf covers going down on Oct 10.  The next 3 weeks are your chance to play on these greens uninhibited by sand and fall preparation.  Take advantage and swing into the bay for a couple more rounds.
