Closing Events and Current Conditions

Season is coming to an end and the renovation is getting closer to starting. This week completed the golfing leagues with Ladies and Men's Day Closings. On Monday April 11th, the team did a fertility application to the fairways, tees, and roughs. It is important that we encourage the Tif-Sport to recover from the initial application in order to get proper coverage and kill of the turf. The more green vegetation the application is sprayed on, the more the plant will absorb. Lastly be sure to bookmark the blog on your computer, phone or tablet and check in during the renovation for updates, pictures, videos and drone footage of the entire process.

1st Roundup Application.

On Tuesday March 29th we started our first of three roundup applications. We worked around the weather for most of the day Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving us to finish the application on Thursday March 31st. We appreciate all the efforts to help accomplish this project and the membership understanding of the weather delaying the applications. We have attached two videos to view, 1st video is of our initial application of #17 and the 2nd video is a before and after of #3 and #5 of the application.

We hope that you enjoyed the videos and we will be utilizing these to keep updates throughout the renovation process. 

Original Greens Design

You may have noticed red paint lines around the greens on holes #1,2,7,8,12. This provides a sense of what the greens size, shape, and contour will look like post construction as we return the greens to the original design. If you haven't noticed the paint lines remember to give them a glance next time you are out on the course.  We will be repainting the lines around the greens Monday, following The Club Championship.  Additionally, the celebration approach on #8 is in fantastic condition and we are confident that Celebration Bermudagrass will give Frenchman's Reserve the playability and aesthetical values we strive to achieve.

We will be making our first roundup application to the golf course on Tuesday March 29th. We will be updating the blog during construction so make sure to check back in and see the progress being made.
