Tip of the month-ball mark repair

I thought that this would be a good forum to post tips for things that you, as golfers could do to assist in the maintenance of the golf course and to maximize everyone’s experience during their round. In this post we will talk about repairing ball marks on the greens. This is consistently the biggest complaint that I get about the greens. It is the responsibility of the golfer to properly repair his or her ball mark and to do it in a way that helps aid the turf’s recovery.

annual flower planting

Is it that time of year already again? Our fall annual flowers have been installed throughout the club. We still have a few small areas to do, but the bulk is in. We have kept the choices pretty much the same for the course and grounds with a few subtle changes. The next couple of weeks are critical to establishing the plants. We tend to chose plants that are drought tolerant and can survive frost without covering. Geraniums, petunias and begonias make up the bulk of the plant material. We will be installing impatiens in the rocks along #14 tee. Normally, the Ladies’ Beautification Committee donates their time to planting these at the 14th tee. Unfortunately, due to a mistake I made on the date, the maintenance staff will be planting these this time within the next few days. My apologies Ladies!! I would like to thank the LBC for donating the funds for these flowers.
