June Member Newsletter


Dear members,

It looks like we are on our way to summer after a brief return to winter over Memorial weekend.  The course is coming along wonderfully.  We have begun working on the bunker project again and have completed the large greenside bunker on #4 which was contaminated with a tremendous amount of debris.  It looks and is playing great..let us know what you think.  We have 4 more greenside bunkers to finish then we will be starting on the fairway bunkers.  We have also begun our efforts on drainage around the course and you should see firmer, dryer conditions as we progress through the summer.  You will see new sod installed in areas as we begin this project in earnest and I would ask that you are conscious of these areas and stay off them until we remove ropes.  These areas will be designated GUR-Ground under repair.

We have turned our focus to weed control, tree limbing and native clean up recently.  As we have passed what hopefully is our last really cool spell we will begin clubhouse plantings and other landscape work.

The greens are coming along nicely and are looking great for a summer of heavy play.  I stimped them today and they are running around 10-10.5.  They will continue to speed up and smooth out as we start our regular mowing and rolling schedule moving forward.

Feel free to let me know if you have any concerns on the course and visit our blog at www.jacksonholegolf.blogspot.com  for our “tip of the week” and other course information.  Have a great summer.

Andy Erskine, GCS
