June Update

I have been so busy I have not had a chance to update the blog but I will post some pictures and what is going on around the course.

All the bark and flowers are in..  We have a new Landscaper this year , her name is Jill.
It will be interesting she is trying Irish Spring soap on a stick to keep the deer out of the flowers.
Maverick keeping a close eye on the deer
We are about half done with installing the new numbers on the tee signs.  It takes about an hour to drill each one
When you have ponds this is bound to happen.  It didn't hurt the mower we just change the  fluids out to be safe.  We average about a mower a year in a pond.
5 and 6 green are progressing very well
But we still have some shade issues on 6 that we will have to address this fall.  It has been a real eye opener to see how much shade effects turfgrass.  5 green is is about a week ahead of 6 in terms of maturity.  6 green has much more light then in the past but is still losing 3 hours every morning.
