Clean Up Is Finished, Scalping Continues

Last Sunday's wind storm reeked havoc on our golf course and sadly made several holes unsafe for our membership.  On last Monday with talking with two board members that were here at the time the decision was made to completely shut down the golf course until 12:00 for the general safety of crew and members, and only open the front nine that day.  Luckily we had the tree trimmers on property to trim trees as part of the overseeding process so we put almost the entire crew and their entire crew to address the safety hazards on the front nine ... which we did.
Trimming Tree Around 9's Green
The next couple of days we addressed the the back nine which was the harder hit on the golf course and had it safe to play on Wednesday by 9:30 am.  Of course clean up continued on the golf course until Friday ... which was completed, and over this past weekend we addressed the corner of Frank Sinatra and El Dorado, and also Country Club Drive.  CC Drive had the most debris and the final blowing will be done today to make it fully presentable.
Golf Course is Drying Down
Today we additionally will be continuing the lower of the HOC of the roughs, spraying of growth regulator on the tees and fairways and the tree trimming around the golf course and clubhouse.  A special thanks goes out to Mr. Cradduck for his generous donation of a lunch to the crew ... they very much enjoyed it.

In conjunction with the Pro Shop it was determined to deviate from the established summer plan and prep hole 18 in case there is a need for our summer members.  Our hope is that this will further enhance their enjoyment of the golf course.

The Citrus Tree in the Center of This Picture Has a Coyote Under It
A couple of end of the day notes:  on the fifth hole up near the lake we got a main line break that we will start repairing tomorrow ... we are draining the line right now.  And if you look closely at the picture above you will notice our coyote is back.
