I see it over and over again. Folks trying to do something they are not good at, getting frustrated and trying to figure out what they are doing wrong. Unproductive.

Care of the Course     

As you know, we are making improvements for Winter. We appreciate your patience as we punch and sand for the health of the putting greens and as we overseed with rye to keep things green for you.

As always, thank you for your care of the course efforts and for helping others remember to fix extra divots and ball marks please.
