Nice Week Ahead
As I am writing this update I am sitting in my office waiting on the rain to fall . It doesn't look like it is going to be raining for very long, but it looks like it might drop a fair amount of moisture. If the weather man is correct in his predictions we are going to have another great weather week, which will allow us to get several things done this week that we haven't been able to get too. On Monday we were able to get four more greens solid tine (putting clock, #1, #2, and #3). We also were able to get a lot of the rough, tee banks, fairways, and tees mowed. We will continue to work on getting the rough mowed throughout the week. Recently we have been battling a bit of a problem with our irrigation pumping system. We are currently looking into this and have had some representatives from our local distributor and service men out to take a look at it. I will keep everyone up to date. Luckily the weather has been good and we haven't needed it much lately. Other items we are working on this week will be continued spraying of native areas, weed eating bunker edges, staining of bridges, grinding of reels, and a few other items. I hope you all had a great weekend. See you soon.

Great golf this weekend and the course was in superb shape! The rough "seems to be" a little shorter in places (perhaps the places I landed in?) A question came up from the girls -- what are the working guidelines for the mowers if a player is setting up to strike the ball? It seems some are extremely courteous and others are not at all ...

Our policy we teach here is to have the staff person give the benefit of the doubt to the golfer. If the staff member is on the green or tee and a golfer is hitting they should always stop and let the golfer finish. The only exception is if they are cooling greens. We then tell them to work the half of the green where the golfers aren't playing and then once the golfers have finished to move over and finish the other half of the green. We do this cause of the amount of area we have to cover in a short amount of time. When it is really hot out we have to be able to get over the greens as fast and efficient as possible due to the fine line we walk with how we manage our greens. If the golfers are in the rough or fairway and my staff member is working right next to their ball then they should stop and let the golfer hit. If my staff is working on the other side of the hold from where the golfer's ball is then they will keep working as long as they aren't in the ball flight path of the golfer. I hope this clarifies this issue. Thanks for your comments.
