Note from the Pro
By the time this newsletter reaches you, we will have
crowned our new mens’ and ladies’ Club Champions.
However, the golf season is not over yet, as the Club
Championship was the final event to qualify for Player
of the Year Tournament. Now that the points are final,
we will be accepting sign-ups for the top 50 men and
top 25 women to fill the field. This new event will play
out similarly to the PGA Tour Fed Ex Cup race and
should be fun and exciting, so I encourage everyone
who qualifies to keep October 17 & 18 open to play.

Family Tees
(Tee it Forward Initiative)
The PGA has implemented the “Tee it Forward” initiative to
help golfers enjoy the game as well as to grow the game in
an attempt to attract new junior golfers, families and
beginning golfers to the game of golf. There is a flyer
located at the handicap computer to help golfers identify
which tees they should play. Most people already know that
we have 3 sets of tees (blue, white and green), but many are
unaware that we also offer 3 blended tee options (blue/
white, green/white and green/gold) for golfers to play, as
well. Scorecards are available in the proshop to provide tee
and handicap information.
We have also re-implemented family tees throughout the
course. You will see these markers (Gold and Red) located
in the fairway to provide adequate starting points for juniors
and beginners, as well as for families to come out and play
together. During Twilight Play (after 3pm), we will also
allow juniors under the age of 16 to play for FREE when
accompanied by a paying adult. Family tee scorecards are
also available in the proshop.

Course Conditions and Overseeding
It has been another year of extreme weather conditions. We experienced near drought conditions throughout the summer which
resulted in a rain deficit of -9.12 inches. Now it seems that we have been fighting very wet conditions due to frequent mid-day
down pours. These extreme conditions have proven to be very stressful to our Bermuda based grasses on the golf course, as well as
for the staff in trying to maintain optimum course conditions and turf health through adverse weather conditions. However, we are
very happy with the overall turf quality as we start to head into the fall season.
Earlier in the year, we had an independent course survey conducted by IGM (International Golf Maintenance) to help us
evaluate overall turf health and improvement needs, as well as recommend new or different agronomic practices that
may have a positive impact on the course. One overwhelming point that was identified in the survey was the positive
impact that not overseeding has had on the turf health and condition of our fairways, as well as the green on hole #11
and the putting green. As many will remember, those two greens were routinely showing the worst health each
year. But, since we have skipped overseeding and removed some trees that were not allowing adequate sun, those
greens have responded very well. Due to that point, IGM recommended in their survey that we skip overseeding on all
greens in an effort to improve the turf health and playing condition of the greens and to help prolong the life of our
existing turf on the greens. Our greens are now approaching 20 years old. While most courses have resurfaced their
greens to newer ultra dwarf turfs, we are still maintaining the original tif-dwarf greens used when the course was built in
1992.
With that said, we have made the decision to not overseed the greens and fairways this year. This will be the first time
that the greens will not be overseeded since they were built. We still plan to overseed all tee’s and the
practice range. We will also be using a new chemical application (Chloro Green) on the greens throughout the winter
that allows the dormant grass to keep its green color. This spray pigment is not a paint and does not cause any stress to
the grass plant. We have already made two applications to the greens so that the pigment can be absorbed into the grass
before they go dormant this fall. We will also make additional applications every month after they go dormant to keep
the green color throughout the winter season. So, hopefully they will look and play just like they would normally, but
we can also give thegreens a much needed break from overseeding for the first time. Please contact me if you have any
questions about this or anything else on the course.
