The Seven Oaks Book Club meets each month to discuss books on a reading list which is created by mutual consent of the Book Club members. All members of SOCC are invited to attend. Our next meeting is Wednesday, August 28th at 11:30am The Seven Oaks Book
Our selection for August... Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California’s first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones, including the world’s first female zoo director, a crusty old man with a past, a young female photographer with a secret, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the giraffes.
Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late.
Please email Cynthia Bailey at cbailey664@gmail.com to receive information on joining the meeting.

Links News
by Tom Lipscomb, Director of Argonomy
We just completed double Verti-cutting of our fairways, approaches and tees. The thatch accumulation is at severe levels due to the lack of proper maintenance over the last 25 years. We currently have an average of 3 to 4 inches of thatch in the fairways, when properly maintained fairways should have a target of ¾ of an inch… this means we are WAY behind the eight-ball!! Having such a thick layer of thatch in the fairways poses many problems for our regular maintenance practices. Water is unable to penetrate to the soil and root zone, creating sloppy and soft playing surfaces, and fertilizer and other spray protectants that we apply get bound up in the thatch layer, which generates more thatch. Also, over-seeding with Ryegrass every year adds to our thatch accumulation issues. When the Ryegrass dies out in early summer, half biodegrades, and half adds another layer of thatch. Reducing the thatch layer will take several years of double Verti-cutting; this is why I mentioned that a thatch management program should have been started 25 years ago. Right now, the Lakes fairways are chewed up pretty good after the Ryegrass and heavy infestation of Pao-Annua checked out and the Verti-cutting was done, but they should recover in about 2 – 3 weeks. I am surprised that no one has asked me about the heart-shaped rings that popped up on several greens. They appeared overnight and at first glance I thought it was some sort of vandalism because it looked like a kid used a paint brush to paint a heart on some of the greens. After further investigation, it was discovered that it is a disease called Rhizoctonia Zeae. I’ve never seen this disease in person before and was truly surprised to see it at all because in late March we started treating the greens on a weekly basis for many different issues, and started using heavier rates as we got closer to the beginning of July. In response to these rings, we have applied two different curative fungicides and I feel that we are in good recovery mode now. Lastly, I would like to thank those who took the time to give me both positive and negative feedback on the new style bunker rakes that we placed in Par 3 bunkers. Your comments were greatly appreciated and offered me insight as to whether they would have been a good product for our course. The consensus was that they were not worth making the change, which will save us money in the long run.
Thank you again for your feedback and thoughts. See ya on the course!
