Good Morning, Another strange weather week from Mother Nature. I applied water, including a wetting agent, to each golf green during the week. It immediately soaked into the green but the 45+ mph winds on Friday were strong enough to dry out the greens if they were completely saturated. It’s
Good Morning, This past week the warm temperatures allowed us to open the driving range for a few more days. The range was open from February 14 thru February 18. It was great to see so many golfers practicing this early in the year. Players could also pay their 2026
