Maintenance Mondays

In 2022, the Sahalee Greens Committee explored the topic of designated maintenance days and times for improved golf course conditioning and turf care operational success. After evaluating policies of peer clubs and considering potential impacts to course availability, the Greens Committee made a motion to adopt a Maintenance Monday policy which was unanimously approved by Sahalee’s Board of Directors.

So, what exactly is a Maintenance Monday?

Simply put, a Maintenance Monday is a Monday when course set-up tasks including changing pin locations, moving tees, and raking bunkers are not performed Instead of performing course set-up, the turf care team will focus our efforts on agronomic activities, cultural practices, course detailing, and project work on all non-holiday Mondays throughout the season

In this policy, there is no change to the 11am Monday start time or course availability. However, it is important to recognize that on these days when course set-up is not performed, expectations on the course need to be adjusted accordingly. The goal and benefit of the Maintenance Monday policy is that it gives the agronomy team more flexibility to focus on critical maintenance practices when there are fewer golfers on the course(s). These days dedicated to course maintenance over course set-up will assist our turf care team in producing the best possible conditions for our members and guests to enjoy.

See you on the course, Charlie
