November at Frenchman's Reserve

The Golf Course continues to respond very well to our fertilizer applications and the warm weather we have had.  As a note, the beginning of November 2014 we had lows in the mid-50's and we entered this November with the Lows in the high-70's.  We will continue to make regular fertility applications to Greens, Tees, and Fairways to ensure nutrients are available to maintain a healthy turf.

Greens are in great condition.  We will continue to groom, brush, mow, and roll to maintain ball roll on the putting surfaces.

Bunkers have been checked and sand depths adjusted to be as consistent as possible until we rebuild them.

We have received the first piece of our equipment package this week.  We will continue to receive new equipment through the end of November.  The new equipment will replace equipment that is currently up to 10 years old.  Technology of the equipment has improved greatly other that time and will provide a noticeable difference.

Ropes and Stakes will continue to be used in high traffic areas to disperse traffic patterns on the course.  By redirecting traffic we will have more consistent rough areas on the course.
