Happy Thanksgiving!

Over the last few weeks, our fall/winter project list has been put on hold while we deal with the falling leaves.  Most of the trees have dropped their leaves for the year, unfortunately, the Oaks will continue to slowly drop their leaves for weeks to come.  I had a professor in college that used to say that winter is officially over when the last leaf falls from the Oak trees.  Keep an eye on that, he was usually right!

Mulching leaves between #15 and #16.

Along those same lines, we are almost finished cleaning up hedge apples for the year.  For whatever reason, the hedge trees produced a strong crop of fruit this year.  Although the hedge trees have their historical value for being the first trees on the property, they are one of the most undesirable trees for a golf course.  Picking up hedge apples has been a daily chore for the last several weeks.

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it looks like we are going to have great golfing weather the entire week.   As much as I would like to see some rain, it is tough to beat 70 degree days in November.  

From the Golf Course Management Team to you and your family, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday!  Happy Thanksgiving!
