Course condition update
August 31, 2019

First of all, thank you from the staff for all the positive comments regarding course conditions, especially in regards to the greens.
The cornerstone of our green conditioning program is the amount of sand we use and the dreaded....
AERIFICATION PROCESS!!!!
As I have mentioned many times...nobody likes the aerification process, you the golfer, the clubhouse staff, ownership and above all, the grounds staff...heck, even Scott does not like it.
However, WE ALL LIKE THE RESULTS .
We do aerification twice a year, but before we do this, we send our soil to a lab to be tested.  The results of that test, dictate the type of aerification we then proceed to do.  
This time we will be doing a larger tine, (bigger hole), so that we can get more sand into the profile of the greens.  This sand is the KEY to the firmness and smoothness of our putting surfaces.
The weather forecast looks perfect for us to do the aerification process on Tuesday, September 3rd and Wednesday, September 4th.
The back nine will be open for play on Tuesday, with greens that HAVE NOT been aerified, since we will only be working on the front nine on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, we will be working on the back nine, the front nine will be open, but the greens will have been aerified.

This is the aerification process that will be done:
roll the green
core aerify the green with 3/4 inch tines that will go 4 inches deep
brush sand into the holes
roll the green again
blow excess sand off the green

We understand that you may prefer not to play next weekend, so next weekend is optional.
We will be offering our aerification rate as in previous years, for the 11 days following aerification:
Weekdays:  $41.00 green fee, $11.00 cart rate
Weekends:  $52.00. $11.00 cart rate

We thank you in advance for your understanding on this matter and look forward to a great late summer and fall season with enjoyable playing conditions.

Yours in golf,
Dennis
