We continue our junior programs with the Junior Development Class starting back up this month on Wednesdays from 3:30pm4:30pm. This is for ages 6 and older and is a terrific way to get your youngsters into the game of golf. Ask about other programs we offer and find a program or instructor to continue your son or daughter’s enjoyment of the game of golf! Fairway Conditions In an effort to continue the recovering health of our fairways you may notice a few of the fairways have been punched (have small holes every couple inches). This is to add oxygen to the soil and thin out the top layer of thatch so the grass doesn’t essentially choke itself. This will allow water penetration in these hot months and promote root growth. We recommend everyone play the ball up on these holes. To do that, you may mark your ball once in play, clean your ball and place the ball within 6 inches and no closer to the hole from the marked position.

These sometimes inconvenient maintenance practices are to benefit our members and our golf course, so we will have a beautiful healthy golf course when the weather starts to cool off and we have more play during the day. I hope everyone takes advantage of the rule and enjoys our wonderful golf course.
