Golf Course Reminders

As we enter our peak golf season we would like to remind everyone of some ways to keep up our pace of play, and keep our golf course in the best condition possible. Pace of play for all rounds are expected to be four hours or less. The target time is 1:50 for the front nine, a five minute turn time, and 2:00 for the back 9. Weekend mornings are especially busy, it is imperative to keep up with the group in front of you. If you see empty holes in front of you, and multiple groups behind, please move forward. We will be monitoring turn times for all groups throughout the week not just on the weekends.

In any event you need assistance with pace of play please feel free to contact the Pro Shop at 203-264-8081 and we will send a member of the Golf Staff out to assist.

Always play ready golf, help your partners by watching their tee shots, be ready to hit when its your turn, and park golf carts in a position close to the next tee. A well paced round is always a more enjoyable one!

We would also like to remind everyone to replace their ball marks on greens, as we have been noticing an increased number of unfixed marks. As always please feel free to speak with the Golf Professional staff if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you.

Cart Path Reminder

As a friendly reminder please adhere to the Cart Path rules of staying on the cart paths and rough only during play, especially on all Par 3s. No carts are allowed near the greens on any hole. The Maintenance Staff works very hard on keeping the course in tip top shape for the all the members please, do not disrupt their hard work.

Golf Course Schedule & Projects

Hard to believe it is August! This season seems to be flying by and has proved to be a challenging one. Heat, humidity and rain have all played a role in keeping us on our toes. As we go through these difficult stretches it is important to remember the turf is under a great deal of stress in this type of weather. Please be mindful to keep carts in the rough whenever possible.

One of the our ongoing maintenance practices is devoting time on tees and fairways. As the season progresses and a lot of golf is being played we find a large amount of unrepaired divots. We ALL must do our part to help with the repair of our own divots. I am often reminding golfers of all groups to fix and repair ball marks and divots. It is an easy task if we all do our part.

As we enter into August, we are planning to aerate greens, as usual. Although this process is hindering to play, please remember the importance of this process. Aeration plays a key role in helping our greens stay healthy and perform in stressful times.

We hope that everyone is enjoying the golf course and having fun! As always, I am sure to see you out there if you should have questions. Until next month, hit em straight!!

Brett Richards, Golf Course Superintendent
