Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Over the past year the Grounds team and I have been busy across the course, thanks for your patience as we head into July of 2025 in a great position for success with the restoration. The golf course is in great hands with Tyler Rae and Jim Ryan Jr. and we can't thank them enough for their design work, collaboration and feedback over the past few years. 

Our grounds team has put a few videos together with renderings from Tyler and Jim outlining some of the preliminary project phases. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the entire Grounds team.

Fall Time, Tulip Time

 Now that November is here, it is time to get started planting everyone's favorite spring time flowers, tulips. This year the horticulture department, along with some help from grounds, will be planting 10,000 tulip and daffodil bulbs. Included in that 10,000 are over 7 different varieties and colors. Getting them in the ground now will ensure they have a long enough time to develop and flower just in time for all the spring activities around the club. The next few days we'll be out preparing the landscape beds for tulips as well as planting. 

When planting your own bulbs, plant them 3-5 inches in the ground. About 5 bulbs per square foot. I always get asked how I keep the squirrels from getting the bulbs, and while there's no real answer, what I do is sprinkle some Milorganite on top of the soil when finished and that usually keeps them away.

If you have a questions don't hesitate to stop me and ask. Cheers!
