First thing this morning we will be continuing the bunker removal project as approved by the Board and Green Committee. We will be working on the greenside bunkers on 4, then moving to the right greenside bunkers on 2. The goal on the hole (# 2) is to remove the back right bunker and lower the "hump" blocking the front right bunker. We may just go ahead and fix the left side bunker depending on how well we are moving.

95% Completed on 4's Front Left Bunker |

2's Front Right Bunker Before Reshaping |
Also this morning we are verticutting the greens. This process has been yielding better bermudagrass recovery; however, we may have to increase the frequency to have them ready for the upcoming aerification ... more to be posted later.
Speaking of greens, we have started the heavy granular fertilization of them to also push the bermudagrass. Sadly, this also will affect the green speed that we have been enjoying by dropping it by a foot to a foot and half. The verticutting will aid in keeping the speed higher ... but not by enough.

Trimming of the Palms Around the Clubhouse |
El Dorado oleander trimming has been completed and the tree trimming company is working on the club house palms, then will be solely trimming date palms on the golf course. You may see them trimming other palms trees but those are being paid for by the homeowners ... not the Club.

New Trees Being Planted on 6 |
On the 6th hole we have been planting Mondale Pine trees per the request of the Board in staying with the design suggested by the recent visits and evaluation of the golf course. These trees (8 in total) were paid for by donations by the members.
