Fall Has Arrived!

The chill is in the air again, it finally looks as though fall has arrived. On the course and around the grounds of HP the staff and I have been busy with preparations for next season. The putting green aerfication on 9/11/17 went extremely well, the turf healed nicely and your feedback was appreciated on the putting quality that was noted so early in the healing process.

Over the next few weeks the staff is focused on many processes that need to be completed to have a successful 2018 season. We are currently working on:

• Mowing and herbicide applications to all high rough areas
• Fungicide applications to the fairways
• Solid tine aeration to fairways, tees and rough
• Leaf clean-up
• Herbicide applications to all primary rough area
• Legacy Plan preparations
• Fall plantings

We are also hoping to sneak in a renovation of a tee or two!

As always thank-you for your feedback and comments on the course and the grounds, it is greatly appreciated!

Thank-you,

Pat O'Brien
Grounds Superintendent
