Question: Why has the Weiskopf Course been closed and play has been pushed to Devlin?
Answer: There are a couple reasons why we have moved play exclusively to the Devlin Course. First, the snow from that early November event hung around longer on the Weiskopf Course; especially on #s 4, 5, 6, and 10. Secondly, road work has begun on the new development between 11, 12, and 13. Road crews are looking to pave the road the week after Thanksgiving, this is weather dependent.
Question: Why are there a handful of pink flags on the Devlin Course?
Answer: Valves that turn on/off the irrigation water during the season sometimes go missing. Either grass grows over lids, lids get lost or mowed, etc. The Devlin Course does not have an "as-built" with where all of the pipes and valves are located and we will be doing our own audit this fall into the winter.
Question: Are you guys going to take down a lot of trees this winter?
Answer: Over the past two winters; we have taken an aggressive approach to tree management. This winter we will remove a few trees in order to improve turf quality. More importantly, we have a list of projects that we want to achieve to improve the course as a whole. Irrigation updates, drainage additions are all on our "to-do" list.
Question: Is the blog going to continue into the winter?
Answer: Yes...however we will not have as many daily updates as we have during the season. Weather systems, project updates, and department updates will all be posted on the blog as needed, but we may take a few days off from time to time.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
Thank you,
JA
