It is that time where all of the details have to be completed on time so we are reading to hit the ground running when the golf course closes down for overseed. This is quite a big job ... just look at how long it takes your personal gardener to prep your yard at in most cases that is less than 0.2 of an acre -- we have 117 acres.

| Scalping the Rough on 11 |
Talked with the tree trimmers yesterday and they feel that that will be 100% done by Friday ... that is great news. However, the small branches left behind both on the ground and hanging in the trees will take an additional week or so to completely clean.

The rough scalping is progressing quite slowly and so far we are still only at 0.750 inch . Hopefully by next week we will reach the final cutting height of 0.500 inches and start on the tees and fairways.

There is a drawback which will get worse as the golf course drys down in preparation for the upcoming overseed and that is the playability of the bunkers. Given our sand type in our bunkers as the become dry they become increasingly more difficult to rake and in general maintain. Even though we are still raking them daily the drier they get, the more uneven they become.
