Our big focus right now is leaf clean-up! Rather than hauling the leaves to a dump site, we blow them into the rough, where they are mulched up and become an organic amendment to the soil. Custom baffles are installed on the rough mowers, allowing the leaves to be finely chopped up before returning to the soil.
We are aware of some mole activity on the 7th green. We are working to catch the rodent the past two days.
Finally, I'd like to report that our lake dredging project (scheduled for November 1st start date) has been temporarily postponed. Dredging requires permitting from the NC Department of Environmental Quality and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Because of the government shutdown, we cannot get the permitting from the Corps. The project will be on hold until after the government shutdown ends and we receive the required permits.
