It looks like Mother Nature is starting to co-operate with some wonder fall weather. Dry and seasonal temperatures should be the norm for the next 7 days which will keep the golf balls bouncing in the fairways, adding a few extra yards to that tee shot.
The Grounds team and I are also excited to welcome Tyler Rae, Golf Architect back to Hyde Park. Over the past few years Tyler, Jim Ryan (Design Associate) and I have spent many hours traversing the course with the Donald Ross plans and notes in tow discussing the exceptional topography, infrastructure challenges along with the opportunities to make this gem of a course shine even more by enhancing the original architecture of Mr. Ross.
On September 12th I am hopeful that you will be able to attend the Golf Course Master Plan meeting to listen to Tyler and ask questions. Tyler's passion comes through in his exceptional work and is displayed in this video from Beverley Country Club in Chicago.
Following the Founders Cup, I would enjoy the opportunity to take small groups around the course for about an hour to discuss the Master Plan and some of infrastructure challenges. Stay tuned for more details on the tour dates and times!
As always thank-you for the feedback and the questions about the Course and the Master Plan. Please do not hesitate to reach out to grounds@hydeparkcc.com
Thank-you,
Pat O’Brien,
Grounds Superintendent
