The green tees are back out in #1,3,9,10 and 11 fairways. For those who like the course to play a little shorter this set of tees are a great option. Enjoy and I'll see you on the course!!!

• #9 Tee- Growing from seed always takes time but the tee is progressing nicely and we hope to have it in play by mid to late August.  
• #1 hill- the area has filled in nicely and I am confident that the problem of balls rolling back down the hill has been solved. 
• We have done some additional work at #12 tee with some in house supplies we had in our dump. A low curb has been installed to clean up the ugly rut that had developed next to the tee over the years. Now that the water issue has been solved with the new drainage it makes the area look much nicer. 
• Tree Pruning- We are in the process of pruning all of the locust trees on the golf course as many of the limbs have begun to hang and interfere with not only Golf but cart traffic as well. We have also pruned along the entrance around the Spruce trees on either side of the drive to give them more room to grow. 
• Aerification dates- Our fall greens aerification, originally scheduled for 8/30, has been moved to Tuesday 9/14 with extra days to follow as needed. The Committee and I both felt that the August date was to close to the Harvest Tournament, and things would not be heeled completely for what has become a very well attended and popular event. 

• #9 Tee- We have completed the construction of the new back tee on #9 and are waiting for it to grow in. Light frequent watering to keep the seed bed moist is ongoing. The tee will add about 20 yards to the hole and should be a good challenge for those who want to play it back.
• #1 hill- in my last update I explained the process we were using to convert the hill on #1 to rough. Everything worked pretty well except the weather. Cool nights and a few frosts a few weeks after seeding slowed the process. Since the weather has turned the area has started to fill in nicely and we are getting closer to completion.
• Equipment delivery- the new equipment has all arrived and we have put it all to work right away. The backhoe has already completed work on the stump remains near #4 tee as well as on #3 and 6.
• Drainage on #12 tee- the pipe we installed last fall is handling the excess water at #12 tee nicely and the path is clear within 8 hours of a heavy rain.
• Plant beds- Jessie has been a nice addition to the crew and is doing a wonderful job with the flowers and beds around the property. If you see her let her know.
