Crazy to think a green will be here in a few weeks. Finally starting to see the base rise out of what was once a pond. Excited to see the finished product once it’s seeded and grown in this fall! #MakingProgress #007XL

Pretty crazy to see the difference in sight lines and views with the ongoing project. Picture on the left is from two years ago and the picture on the right is from yesterday in the same location. Happy to see the benefits of tree removal and buy-in from our members. #clean

First two truckloads of Tahoma 31 being finished today with more coming next week. Creek was cut into the 15th fairway and work on the green site has progressed tremendously. 15 green construction starts within 2 weeks and fairway shaping even sooner! #Progress #NoRain

Gonna be a fun day! At least greens received an app of Envu Golf US Signature Xtra and Syngenta Turf US Daconil Action yesterday. Mother Nature has given us a challenging June so far! #WeNeedRain #DRY #WINDY #HOT

Our project is really starting to take shape now! #14 is almost completely finished and 16 green complex is ready for CapillaryFlow. Shaping, grading, and irrigation installation has begun on #15 green and surrounds. We’re starting to see 💡 at the end of the tunnel!

One of the special days of the year as the American flags make an appearance. Happy Independence Day, and may we always remember that this is the land of the free and home of the brave! 🇺🇸🎇

First fertility/pre-emergent app on the new Tahoma 31 sod being used on our project. Big thanks to Harrell’s LLC for the custom blend! #GettingBetter #BestBermudaEver

Our project on holes 14-16 is slowly coming to an end. Seeded our three new greens two weeks ago with 007XL Bentgrass and have seen great germination. Excited about new cart paths on those holes this week and remaining sod hitting the ground! #007XL Richard Hurley, PhD

First mow today (day 18) at 0.275” h.o.c. on our new 007XL greens. Looking forward to watching them continue to grow together over the coming months. Now we just need Mother Nature to provide a little rain! 🌧️

Amazed to see the root depth on our 007XL greens. Seeded 3.5 weeks ago and mowed for the 2nd time earlier this week at 0.250” and getting another cut this afternoon. Richard Hurley, PhD

Thankful to have gotten through Helene with much less damage than many of our colleagues in the Upstate. 🙏 for all those affected in the Southeast. 2024 has definitely thrown us some curveballs!!!

Still a lot of work to do to get everything clean and trees removed, but outside of the muddy water it’s at least starting to look like a golf course again.

007XL Bentgrass at 12 weeks old. Getting better everyday! Happy to finally see some 🌧️ over the past couple of weeks. 10 day forecast shows our great fall weather finally moving toward winter. Richard Hurley, PhD

Had to say goodbye to our beloved Westie Riggs yesterday. Tough to let go after 14 wonderful years, but he loved his time on the golf course all the way to his last day. Hope you’re chasing those squirrels and golf carts on the other side of the rainbow bridge buddy!!! 😢

Great to see the root growth on our new 6.5 month old 007XL Bentgrass greens, even experiencing one of the coldest winters we’ve had in the last 10 years. Excited to see the continued growth through the upcoming spring! Richard Hurley, PhD

Nice to have a busy maintenance Monday. Topdressing + brushing greens, dry cut in the PM, and the first ⭕️ of the year on fairways. Happy to see where things are with the up and down temps this spring!

Member-Guest last week and 4”+ of rain beforehand. Team did a phenomenal job getting the course prepped in some wet conditions! Early morning application yesterday on fairways with Fert+Primo Maxx+Precip wetting agent and another 0.50” afterwards. Syngenta Turf US Aquatrols Company

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” -George S. Patton Today we honor and thank all of those men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

Busy day for our team! Using the Wiedenmann North America Terra Rake on fairways/approaches followed by ⭕️ mowing at .350. On greens it’s topdressing, gypsum app, soil/pythium spray, irrigate, and venting with bayonet tines. Big thanks to Chris Hussey for letting us use his Terra Rake!
