Wedding in the dominican

After 4 years of dating we finally said our "I do's". I want to thank the club members for giving us such an amazing engagement party back in the summer. We spent 10 days in punta Cana for the wedding/ honeymoon. A total of 27 family and friends attended our wedding. Here are a few pics from our trip.

Tree work

IWith all the rain, and the fairways too wet to aerate, tree work has started around the course. We are currently working on holes 6-8 right now. We are raising the canopy of all the trees that are along the cart paths, and even removing a few pines to let sun in on a few holes. It's been a tough winter trying to accomplish all of our winter work due to the excessive amount of rain.

Rain, rain, and more rain

It's a little wet out. If we could just get some cold weather to match up with all this rain there would be a ton of snow. I will tally up the year end rainfall next week. I'm pretty sure we will hit 100" for the year. Happy new year everyone!

Putting her to bed

We spent this last week pressure washing and waxing all of our turf equipment for the winter. Most of the machines have had their oil changed, and next comes the grinding of reels and bed knives. The 6" of rain last week has put our fairway aerification behind. We will attempt to do as many holes prior to the ground freezing.

Wildlife

It always nice to see wildlife enjoying the golf course. These guys seemed to have a good time running up and down 10 and 17.

Greens aerification

I'm a little late posting this, but greens were aerated the first week of November using a 1/4" tine. This is the first time we have done this small of a tine in the winter. We are hoping that we can increase some play over the winter as this size tine doesn't affect ball roll. Greens were topdressed as well using a damp medium sand. Come march we will either use a graden verticuter on greens or aerate using the same size tine.
