Colonial Tree was back out this month to finish cleaning the woods on holes 15, 16 & 17 of remnants from Hurricane Ida.  They removed dead wood that was cut up and let lie.  Colonial also cut down any remaining dead trees that were standing.  While here, Colonial also had our brush pile ground up and removed.  The wooded area left of 16 will fill back in with native plants in time.

We closed down the grass range tees at the end of October to allow the tees to heal and fill in for next spring.  The tees have Bermuda grass that gets slit seeded with ryegrass seed in the fall.  The Bermuda is excellent at quick growth and divot recovery during the summer months but slows down as temperatures drop.  We Slit seed ryegrass in to give decent turf in the spring and fall. 

Being on the course in the early mornings you can really feel the cold weather.  We've had heavy frost many days this November and even a little bit of snow.  On Tuesday 11/28, an unexpected snow shower popped up and covered parts of the course.  Even though the snow melted in a few hours, it was enough to scare away the 3 people that had tee times....
