Cart Entrance to 7 Fairway, Bermuda Spray in Rough and , Caution! Construction Trucks On Property
Video below discusses the reasons for the rope across the right path along #7. Path is going to be removed this fall. It will be kept large enough for walkers but that is all. All carts should use the left path in front of the red tee to enter along the fairway of Hole 7.

Our Bermuda eradication spray is beginning to show up in some of our rough. See the picture below.
The arrow on the left side is pointing away from the right of 12 green. This area was sprayed with a lighter rate of Pylex onto the collar and the first cut. You can see the darker green color. The two arrows on the right shows the effects at full rate on the Bermuda after only 2 days. You will see this in a few areas around greens and in some of our main rough. The left side of #11, around 13, 7, 10, 17 and 18. Along fairways 1-4, 10, 16-18.
Mark Matteson who works for Clayco has located some dirt for us to fill in the old tennis court area and for some other uses on the course. There will be some construction trucks delivering soil to the back parking lot and the long range. I expect this will begin next week but have not actually spoken with the hauler. We will also be using our dump truck to move the soil to the tennis courts during this time. I just wanted to warn you regarding these large trucks entering and exiting the property.
