June Update

The Maintenance Team has been busy this month preparing the golf course for the events that we have. June is always a hectic month with events and weather. The Team has done an excellent job with early morning starts and some late night finishes. Without this dedicated Team, we couldn't provide great playing conditions.

Work so far this month has included landscape plantings and maintenance, nursery grading and seeding, annual safety training from our U of M OSEH rep, Brett Goecke, as well as our normal maintenance practices. Please help us by repairing ball marks and filling divots.

Course Update

The Team has been busy battling the growth of the rough this week. They were able to mow all 60 acres twice and removed clippings from the playing surfaces. Our Team worked from sun up to sun down all week. Great Job Team!

We have also been able to work on some projects on the practice green and the nursery. One of the practice greens was damaged from the winter. We re-evaluated the use of this green and decided to create more chippable area.

The South nursery project has also started. This is not a new nursery, but we are preparing it for a new grow-in. The nurseries are so important for us to be able to do all our course repairs and renovations in-house. The nursery will have turf for greens, tees, fairways, bunker faces and rough areas.
