"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October." - Nathaniel Hawthorne

October is here........ 

50 degree morning lows finally  providing that fall feeling 

We have continued our seeding and sanding areas on fairways, approaches and surrounds  where we had lost turf during the drought.

We still need to keep carts out of these areas during seed germination !

IRRIGATION

Our Irrigation Tech Ramon, with help from his sidekick Super Dave, kept us going with some quick fixes through numerous breaks on our 30+ year irrigation system(holes:  #11,#15 & #16).
