WOW!! Where did this year go? It seems like we were just beginning 2009 and now we are looking forward to 2010. Looking back on 2009 we have had our fair share of challenges. Whether it was the summer drought, the December snow, or the extended period of wet weather we have been stuck in for the past 2 months; we have managed to come out of it all with our heads held high and looking forward to the future.
Reflecting back on this past year we witnessed some great improvements in many areas of the golf course, beginning with consistent playing conditions. We were able to tackle some necessary capital projects last year including renovation work done on the fairway bunkers and repair and replacement of the main irrigation source, our water well. One major improvement we made this past year was our preventative applications put forth to decrease the effects of pest outbreaks, such as those pesky mole crickets.
Looking forward to 2010, many of the objectives we had in place last year are again evident. One major change will be the implementation of aggressive cultural practices to the fairways and tees to help eliminate prolonged wet, sloppy conditions. Incorporating several aerifications into our maintenance schedule will aid in keeping our fairways and tees playing more consistent.
In closing, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As always feel free to send any questions, comments, suggestions, or funny jokes along to myself at steven.chernosky@ourclub.com.
