My team never ceases to amaze me and yesterday was no exception. First thing in the morning we discovered one of our irrigation clocks badly damaged ... which at the time seemed to be beyond repair. Well, once my head irrigator got a hold of the clock he was able, with quite a bit of effort, to repair the case and get everything working again. What a outstanding job considering that it seemed that the Club would be out $4,000 and now just the labor costs.

| Mowing Clippings After This Morning's Verticutting |
Today we have numerous things occurring all at one time. First, all of the Poa Annua contamination has been sod cutted and hopefully by day's end will be completely repaired. These areas as stated before are considered GUR. Second, we are verticutting the greens as part of our twice per week Poa Triv removal process to transition from the Poa Triv to the bermudagrass. Lastly, today we have the Golden State tournament happening and also for the next few days ... oh, I almost forgot ... we also have the ladies mini SG this morning too.

| Barraza Starts the Poa Infested Sod Removal |
As we are working so hard on transition it becomes more and more difficult to produce at first the conditions our members and their guests have become so use to during the season ... the biggest difference is during October we close the golf course thus no one sees all of the issues that occur in changing turfs. However, in the summer, we remain open thus all of our members get to experience this transition between the turfs (cool to warm season turf) and usually find it
not enjoyable. Trust me when I say that if the same thing occurred in the fall our members would not find that to be enjoyable either.
