Ice Storm

Everybody was hit hard during the recent ice storm that went through Augusta and the surrounding areas. Hopefully you and your family made it through this awful event ok. The golf course sustained quite a bit of damage. Thankfully no transformers , fans or irrigation boxes were hit. We had more damaged trees than trees that uprooted and fell over. Anywhere from Pine trees to Live Oaks, Crype Myrtles, Oaks and Maples took a beating. We have cleared all the cart paths and most limbs and debris around greens, so that we can reopen the golf course today as a par three course. All holes will be played as a par three. This way you will not be in any danger from hanging limbs and us and the tree company cleaning up.

Preemergent time

During the last couple of weeks we have been spraying the entire golf course with a preemergent for summer weeds. It takes about 40 hours for us to spray the entire course. Lucky for us both sprayers were up and running so we were able to knock it out quicker thanks to the second sprayer. While spraying we use a foam to mark where we have sprayed. This way there is very minamal overspray and skips.
