Weekly update


What a great stretch of September weather we had last week.  We had a fantastic week on the course.  It was one of our busiest weeks of the summer with groups from the Wyoming Restaurant and Lodging Association, our annual Service Industry Cup,  two day Wyoming High School tournament and a slew of smaller outings.  Yesterday was our annual Fall Classic and we couldn't have asked for a better day to let the members have the golf course to themselves.

We have finished aerifying tees and approaches and the process went really well.  I am excited about our more aggressive agronomic plan for approaches to help increase firmness.  We are starting our fairway maintenance this week and will be vertical cutting starting on #1-2 today and continue in order around the course with plans to have them all verticut and cleaned up by Friday.  It is somewhat of a messy process but we will do our best to keep it clean and playable.  We got nearly 1/4" of rain overnight last night and it is continuing to rain today, so it will be soft out there. 

The moose are on the move and we have at least 5 around the course right now: 2 bulls (one very large one), two cows and a yearling.  They are pretty feisty right now so keep an eye out on your travels around the course.  Look forward to a great week before we start aerifying greens next Monday afternoon after the Big Money Monday group.
