Rope & Stake Reduction

We started last week and hopefully should finish this week reducing the amount of ropes and stakes around the golf course.  The one critical aspect to this reduction and the health and safety of our turf is to take the path less driven and SCATTER.  The quick and short route can lead to damage within one to two days as evident on holes such as 1, 2, & 14 to name a couple.  So please help us maintain fantastic course conditions and drive somewhere where no one else has.
Wear Patterns Near 12's Tee
This reduction in ropes and stakes will greatly aid in our maintenance of the roughs.  And with the weather pattern we have been in for the past three weeks of 10 degrees greater than normal temperatures the roughs have been growing faster than we can mow.  The good news is the weather is cooling back down this weekend which will allow us to catch back up and stay ahead of the turf.
13's Green -- What A Beautiful Day
Additionally, reducing the ropes and stakes will free up a person who now spends a greater part of the day just shifting the ropes to reduce wear patterns and keeping the ropes out of the mowers way.  This means that we can focus this time towards detail items.
On this Friday we will be pouring the concrete on the new path going from the road and tee to the bathroom on 5.
