GOLF COURSE UPDATE
AS WE SLOWLY TURN FROM SUMMER TO FALL, IT'S TIME TO BEGIN THE AERIFICATION OF THE GOLF COURSE. THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, THE COURSE MAINTENANCE TEAM WILL BEGIN PUNCHING THE GREENS. THIS IS A TWO DAY PROCESS WHICH WILL KEEP THE GOLF COURSE CLOSED TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK AND RE-OPEN WEDNESDAY MORNING IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES. THE PRO SHOP WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE.
AS MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN, THE DRIVING RANGE RECONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY. GREEN TEE GOLF IS HOPEFUL TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND RE-OPEN THE RANGE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH. WHEN RE-OPENED, THE DRIVING RANGE WILL REMAIN MATS ONLY UNTIL OPENING DAY OF 2024
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND COOPERATION, IDLE HOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF
DIVOT REPAIR INFORMATION
REMEMBER, THE CONDITION OF A GOLF COURSE ISN’T SOLELY DEPENDENT ON THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS STAFF. IT’S THE PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAVE THE GOLF COURSE IN BETTER SHAPE AFTER PLAYING BY FIXING DIVOTS, REPAIRING BALL MARKS AND LIMITING PRACTICE SWINGS FROM THE TEEING GROUND. IDLE HOUR IS A BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE. LET’S ALL TAKE PRIDE AND DO OUR PART TO MAKE IT BETTER.
FOR THOSE ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE USGA GREEN SECTION’S TWITTER IS @USGAGRNSECTION. THEY POST VERY REGULARLY ABOUT GOLF COURSE CARE. GIVE IT A FOLLOW.
