Course Updates

Hydraulic Leak on 16's Fairway -- Dark Color is Just Charcoal
First, the hydraulic leak across 16's fairway ... we got charcoal on the leak it looks like just in time. The impact and damage seems to be quite minimal and recovery should occur very soon.
The Green Color is the Algae Bloom
The faint "funky" smell coming from the lakes ... well, this is weather related and is due an algae bloom that is occurring.  We are treating the lake today and the other two smaller ponds as well.  This should limit the algae bloom by blocking the photosynthesis of the algae.
Dying Tree Next to 6's Green
Dead and dying tree.  We have another one of our pine trees fading into the sunset.  This tree is located near 6's green and has only one small live branch remaining.  We will keep an eye on it to see if removal is necessary.
The New Type Rake for Avondale
New bunker rakes for the maintenance staff just got in today.  We testing the first and only new rake we got today and it appears that the surface is smoother than it is with the fan rakes.  Tomorrow we will be testing it in the morning to evaluate its performance.  If all goes well we will be purchasing more and this will be the new rake that the team will be using.
