At the conclusion of the Committee meetings yesterday it was decide that we were going a new route when addressing the greenside bunkers. The tool we built a couple of months back will be the tool that we will use on a regular basis to soften the bunkers. This tool loosens the top two inches which gives the "feel" that the members are seeking without producing the issues that tilling causes for up to eight days.
Does this mean that we will not till anymore? No. We will still till the bunkers from time to time due to the sand type we currently have, it just will be less frequent and in less obtrusive times. We will continue to experiment until we find a solution to the issues we face with our sand type.

| Sumacs Planted Behind 12's Tee |
The African Sumac have been planted behind 12's tee to block the street lights in the future. The good news is that these trees were donated to the golf club and did not cost a penny of the over $1,200 it cost to purchase them.

| 15's Green Damage Caused by Ravens |
Above is a picture of a hole torn into 15's green. These holes that we repair almost daily are caused by ravens searching for grubs. They are not finding any grubs, however, while we are removing the Poa Annua they see something different and thus assume the activity is caused by insects ... now you understand the meaning of "bird brain."
