Wintergrass (ryegrass)

 Starting Monday October 29th, we will begin to put the rye grass seed down on the tee boxes throughout the course. This has been a traditional maintenance practice since the club opened in 1990. here's some key points to remember;

 * Keep in mind the tee marker settings may be out of whack for the next couple of weeks in order to get the best results for consistency.
 * Please play the tee box where the tee marker are located, our goal is to provide consistent looking tee boxes. When someone decides that they want to play one that has the seed all over the top of it, that takes away the consistency, seed is picked up on there shoes therefore removing it from the tee box and now planting it somewhere between the tee box and the cart path. That later becomes an eye sore.
 * May see the sprinklers running a little more often during the day hours as we are making an effort to keep the seed moist so that when the seed sprouts it can take root and live happily until the late spring early summer.

 Thank all of you for your cooperation and understanding.
