The ryegrass is up and beginning to fill in nicely. We are currently getting our first mow on fairways, tees and approaches this week and will continue that process moving forward. Greens are also being mowed daily and continue to show improvement. Cooler night time temperatures should also help moving forward.
Projects continue, with tree trimming progressing nicely. We are currently working through the back 9 and should be finished up within the next week or so. Desert cleanup and trimming is also making progress, currently working through the front 9. With a little over 5 weeks before we open, there will be a big push to get trees wrapped up, deserts finished, bunkers repaired along with a host of detail projects necessary to open. All of this is in addition to the increased mowing that will be required now that overseed is up. Needless to say, it is going to be a very busy month for the agronomy department in the lead up to a December 1 opening.
