Fall Range Practice Tee Activity Update

It's that time year again for over-seeding of the range practice tees with ryegrass.  This process will be completed the last week of September.  After seed has been dropped, all range practice tee activity will need to take place on our new TurfHound artificial surface for several weeks.  This period without foot and cart traffic will allow for optimum germination and establishment of the seed.  Activity on the over-seeded tees will resume in late October after the third or fourth mowing.  The lower and short game practice tees will be opened next week during this year's Member-Guest.  

The short game practice tee below the Practice Green will be utilized as a helicopter ride landing pad tomorrow afternoon for several hours(member birthday party).  All practice tee activity for the afternoon will be setup for use with reduced number of stations on the left side of the upper practice tee. Practice green activity will continue tomorrow afternoon, with chipping only from the cart path side.  Please enjoy tomorrow afternoon's excitement safely and smartly.

This summer has dealt extreme challenges for overall turf quality on the course with above normal temperatures and drought conditions.  The pictures below represent the positive effects(on fairways and rough) of almost 2 inches of rain over the past weeks.  Recovery of greens will become more noticeable as September approaches with lower dew points, humidity, and night-time temperatures.
