Greetings from your Golf Course Maintenance Department! TURF TALK a new 36-inch-high density polyethylene intake line installed, a new building constructed, the old building removed, and a substantial amount of dirt work and landscaping done. If we were to think of the pump station as the heart of the irrigation system, then this was a full heart transplant!

October brings with it many exciting things in Golf Course Maintenance. We have finished our summer maintenance practices and projects, which have fully occupied our efforts for the past five months, and are now ready to welcome members back to both golf courses. There was a great deal accomplished over the summer and we would like to thank our members for giving us the opportunity to continue to make improvements on the course.
