Weekly Review

Its been a rough week for the GCM staff and myself due to aerfication and the rain event we had on Sunday morning.  On Monday we began the aerification of the white and blue course to accommodate the Rhinestone Cowgirls and the East vs West tournaments, which are scheduled toward the end of the month. After aerifing 9 holes, we ran into some mechanical difficulties.  The cushman, used to pickup the cores folded in half.  We now were removing cores by hand.  After 14 holes, the aerifier broke down and the part needed was on back order.  We borrowed an aerfier from Kingwood and finish the aerifciation process on Thursday morning.

With the aeification debacle going on, we still had 100 bunkers that were flooded and needed major attention.  This took our staff two days and 80 man hours to get the bunkers back into play before the weekend.  Our renovation work on #12 Fairway bunker has been pushed back due to these two events.  We are scheduled to aerify the red nine on Monday and if everything goes smoothly we can will direct our attention to the fairway bunker.
