Hi Tom,

Member suggestions and concerns:

1. Hole #3, gold tee box - As far as I know, this tee box is the only one with clover. It's a beautiful green, but will this become a problem and spread throughout the course? Or is this a test case?

2. Hole #4, cart path by red tee box - Tree needs trimming, as it hangs down low and scrapes the tops of the golf carts.

3. Hole #8, right side of fairway - The staked tree has been trimmed on one side (or maybe a limb broke off). Was wondering if your crew cut it back, or if we had a midnight marauder angry because it impaired his swing. At any rate, it looks really bad.

Appreciate a response at your convenience.

Your daily BLOG is great! I continue to tell other members to check it out when they have questions/concerns

Thanks,
Bobbie McAlpine


Hi Bobby,

1. The Clover and Spurge just started to show it's ugly head recently. We are just waiting to see if any more Clover or Spurge pops up around the course before we treat it, as both weeds are controlled with the same chemical. We're just trying to make sure we get it all when we do it, which should be in the next couple of weeks.

2. The tree by the red tee box on hole number 4 has been trimmed. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

3. The staked tree on the right side of hole number 8 has been growing on a severe angle for years, almost as if it were going to fall over. We have recently straightened it up. That's why it looks so deformed. We will try to shape it some as soon as we can, but I'm afraid that there's not really much to shape. It may just need to start growing again naturally.

Feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or concerns.
