Get Ready For the Heat
Sun setting on another hot day. Next 5 days will be extremely hot and dry. We will not be raising mowing heights as of yet, but we will be cutting back on double and triple cutting and rolling to get us through the next week or so.
Rerouting the 18th Hole
We started breaking ground on a new 18th tee complex that will now make the hole a dogleg to the right instead of a straightaway hole. The hole will play 450 from the black, 425 from the blue and 385 from the whites. It will be a much more demanding tee shot. By relocating the tees, we can now push our driving range tees back to 315 yards from end to end when we rebuild the range this fall.
Building A New 10th Tee
With the clubhouse renovation going on and the addition of the building, we needed to raise the grade behind the new piece about 6 feet to get grades to meet. We basically had to rebuild the 10th tee and have it done in 3 days for the Invitational. We sodded it on Tuesday and had members playing on it on Friday.
