A Little Taste of Winter Is on the Way!
Big, but temporary, changes are coming to our weather starting today. The next couple of days will bring abnormally cool temperatures, with overnight lows dipping into the 50s. Fortunately, this cold snap will be short-lived, and we should be back to more seasonal temperatures next week.
An unexpected round of rain yesterday morning left the course temporarily wet, requiring cart-path-only conditions for the remainder of the day. Surprisingly, we even experienced some standing water in a few fairway areas for a couple of hours after the rain had stopped. While it certainly caused a disruption to play, the rain was beneficial for the course, and we were back to normal playing conditions today.
On the maintenance front, our contractor began trimming palm trees throughout the golf course and common grounds this week. This project should take approximately another week or two to complete. Once the trimming is finished, we can move on to refreshing the landscape with new pine straw and mulch. We anticipate having both projects completed by Thanksgiving.
I hope everyone enjoys tomorrow’s Fall Classic Golf Tournament! Be sure to bring your jackets and hand warmers. It’s going to be cold out there, at least by Southwest Florida standards!
I look forward to seeing everyone on the course, and as always, if you have any questions, flag me down or shoot me an email. I always enjoy talking turf!
