Please do not call the other Clubs directly, call the pro shop and the staff will be happy to make the tee time for you. Remember, if you are going out to play, you must check in with either the starter or the pro shop and all play starts on hole #1. If you have guests, they must be paid on the day of play unless the pro shop is closed, then you can pay the next day. If you have a booked tee time and do not intend on playing, you are required to cancel at least three hours prior to the tee PRO SHOP UPDATE

GOLF COURSE UPDATE
A s you may have noticed, summer maintenance on the golf course is in full swing! All playing surfaces, minus some distant rough areas, have been success- fully aerified for the first time this summer. Next up will be verti-cutting (i.e., thatch removal) of those same playing surfaces. Following the above-mentioned procedures, there will be copious applications of sand topdressings for smoothing out these same areas. Then rinse and repeat throughout the summer months. You may notice some brown patches on the greens throughout the summer. This is purposely done to eliminate encroached Bimini bermudagrass within the TifEagle greens surface. The brown spots will eventually be removed and plugged, by hand, with TifEagle from the practice green nearest hole #10, which serves as our nursery green. This practice green will most likely be closed later in the summer and will be re-sodded as needed in the fall.

Tree trimming and ornamental plantings will begin soon along with applications of various turf en- hancement products throughout the golf course. Again, the bulk of this work will be conducted on our Wednesday closed day, so for your safety, please refrain from being on the course that day. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we strive to produce the finest golfing facility within our means for the Seven Lakes Community!
