With the rain yesterday and the snow and ice that blanketed the course this morning, aeration of the fairways and tees could not take place as scheduled yesterday and for the first part of this morning. As a result of being delayed a full day and one-half, aeration will have to be finished on some areas tomorrow.
The greens and approaches are finished- they look great and will heal quickly with the 1/4" tines we used this spring. We will begin rolling the greens tomorrow and may cut them on Friday as a great deal of the sand dissipated with yesterdays rain.
The tees were aerified today, cleaned off and have just started being topdressed. The tee markers will remain off tomorrow so that they can finish being topdressed, seeded and dragged in. Please play from anywhere on the tee.
Fairway aeration began this morning. The front nine fairways are aerified. Other than hole fourteen, the back nine is not. As a result we will close the back nine tomorrow to aerify, drag and clean up the cores. As the back nine is finished, it will be opened for play. In addition, we will begin topdressing the fairways tomorrow. Other than some sand on your golf ball, disruption to play will be minimal.
Thanks for your cooperation and patience- Happy Easter to all!
