17 Algae Bloom
Due to our new fertility program over the winter, we have had a huge bloom of algae in number 17 pond. In years past we mechanical removed the algae from the pond. This year the algae is so dense we will be removing the algae chemically. I'm currently wrapping up a contract with a pond maintenance company that will treat number 17 pond, along with the other four water bodies. I hope to have the contract finished by the end of the day and start spraying late this week or early next week.
Aerification Updat
We have complete the aerification of the white and blue courses along with the putting green. We are schedule to wrap up this cultural practice tomorrow on the red nine;h however, we have some heavy rain in the forecast tonight and tomorrow. If we are unable to aerify on Wednesday the 3rd, we will finish the red nine on Tuesday the 9th.

Greens Aerification
We had some irrigation concerns over the weekend that influenced us to start aerifying the blue nine greens on Monday morning. We think the problem has be solved, therefore, we will begin aerification of the white nine come Tuesday morning. We didn't want to risk aerifying greens on the white nine without knowing we had access to irrigation water. We apologize for the confusion.
