Fall is always the best time of year! It tends to be drier, allowing the golf course to play firm and fast unlike a month or two ago, when August rains and extreme humidity slowed the course quite a bit. Like the summer, we focus on hand watering to prevent the fairways and approaches from staying too wet. This allows us to pinpoint with precision, exactly where the water is needed, instead of irrigating wall to wall, including areas where irrigation water isn't needed. It improves playability and conserves water use, a winning combination. Simply put, this is the best this golf course has ever looked and played since day one in 1928. I say that but also recognize all the work that is still required to get better! That's what my team and I live for and the reason for our long tenured staff. Seeing Highlands CC improve year after year, and having the resources to keep moving forward, is an awesome feeling that is hard to top! I'm sad to see the season coming to an end but I'm really excited to have you back in April or May, to hear your feedback on all that was accomplished over the winter.
