Landscaping Project


In case you notice some movement around the #6 green restroom. We will be in the process of installing some new landscaping and rock work, thanks to the MGA. The MGA has come forward in funding the cost of the upgrade. So be on the look out for some color and rock work to be added in this area.
This is phase 1 installing all the rock work and this completed. Phase 2 will include the soil and plants and mulch and we hope to finish this off the first or second week of July. Phase 3 will include cementing the rocks together and this will be done in the fall months once the growing season has shut down.

Spraying Weeds on the outer perimeter areas

Be on the look out for the outer roughs turning yellow and brown. For twenty years now I have been riding the cart paths looking at Bahia, Dallis, and Crab grass in the outer roughs. So I've decided it's time for a change. How about just Bermuda or at least mostly Bermuda in these areas. That would be the plan.
The first application will consist of two herbicides, the first application mainly focusing on the Bahia grass and discoloring the others weeds. Once 10 to 14 days have passed a second application of just one of the two herbicide will be applied to continue the efforts in removing the crab and Dallis grass. Then 14 to 21 days later a third application will follow.
So y'all be on the look out for the weeds in the outer roughs to be leaving the premises.

Outside stair handrail

Just wanted to give you all an update on the stair rail for the steps on the back patio.
We are currently working on getting quotes of getting someone to custom build a railing on the back stair way. One of house committee members may have a company to build the railing.
So be on the lookout, it may appear before your eyes. Thanks for being patient

Granite tee signs

I am currently in the process of getting all the information needed for the new tee signs. Once I get a proof from the maker I will then meet with Greens Committee and the MGA Board to discuss changes as needed. I believe most all of you will be impressed with the new tee signs.
Once the new tee signs are installed, I will then begin to repaint the existing ball washer and do any repairs as needed. The colors will of course follow the black and gold.
Just for your information the granite sign is 7'0 long (2'0 of that is in the ground), 12" wide and 4" thick. They are being made in China. The fellow told me that only three places in the world have the black granite which is the color of the tee sign, that would be China, India, and Canada.
Many thanks to our member Craig Baker. His company has been helping us during our selection of the tee sign. Thanks Craig.
