Spring is around the corner!
We are monitoring the weather forecast for next week which may consist of daytime temperatures in the upper 50s. These temps will surely interest members who want to knock off some of the winter rust, with that being said; we have to get through the next 5 days in which the high temperature will only be 33 degrees and nighttime lows in the 20s. We will experience frozen turf. I am hopeful that we may burn through that frozen layer on Monday and Tuesday and will possibly get golf out on the Weiskopf Course on Wednesday. This is nearly a week away and a lot of conditions can change, the above situation is considered ideal.
UPDATES:
We are nearly halfway done with the repairs to the culvert repairs on #s 4 & 6 on the Weiskopf Course. We will be finishing our drainage on the back tee on #13 Devlin throughout the next week and will keep play off of that to start the spring, but it will be a vast improvement during the season as that was always an extremely wet area. We addressed the wet area between the cart path and the men's tees on #16 Devlin, again an area that was consistently wet during the wet months of the season.
It is our goal to have the Devlin Course aerified in March, as was done over the past 3 years to ensure that our membership has the least amount of interruptions once the season starts in full swing. The Weiskopf Course aerification is scheduled for the week of April 5th.
Both courses have made it through the winter in great shape, I am happy with where the greens, tees and fairways are as I made my way around the property today.
As always; please reach out to me with questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you,
JA
