Final day of prep for Fun Fest in motion. Just want to give a shoutout to my staff for the work they’ve done this whole season. They have done an amazing job and the course shows that. Without them we got nothing. Let’s put a bow on today and finish summer strong.

Less is more in this kind of heat. Place is sprayed up, hoses are in use and water bottles filled. Looks like a break in weather tomorrow (thankfully) and hoping we don’t get bad storms with it.

A much needed Maintenance Monday on the course today. Venting, topdressing and spraying. Summer is flying by!

Smidge over 2” of rain this morning. Will try and finish mowing greens in a few hours and touch up some landscape areas. Back to hogging rough tomorrow.

Dew dragging type of weather. This time of year we like to drag fairways to remove the dew from the leaf blade. This reduces the leaf blade wetness time and helps reduce exposure to gray leaf spot. Fall is knocking on the door.

Starting tee aerification today on the north complexes. We will wrap these up today and head to south tomorrow. Our goal is to get fert down by Friday and overseed next week. With 1.25 acres of tee surface and 23-25k rounds, we got to keep things moving!

Mowers and blowers will be busy as we try to catch up from Labor Day weekend. With the rain (1.25”) we couldn’t get on fairways and it’s showing this morning! First soaking rain in quite a while, so we’ll gladly take this problem!

Happy to report that both showed up for work this morning and actually put in some extra hours overnight! We are looking into the robotic world as it is the way of the future. Thanks .Josh Shull for setting us up for a demo.

Beautiful sunrise over FCO this morning. Going to be a little toasty and humid this afternoon, but thankfully the days are getting shorter. We’re ready for some fall weather!

Taking advantage of no Monday outing and knocking out aerification on #2 green, continuing with overseeding on fairways and repairing a surprise mainline leak that is 6’ deep. Ready for some crisp mornings!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so we dress up the accessories in support for all! #cancersucks

Hire the right people. Drefs Tree Service does awesome work!

Aerification day at FCO! Special thanks to some of the pro shop staff for helping out! Check in later today for an update on course opening times tomorrow.

From the meeting of the minds to meeting blakely to hitting irrigation on the first bunker and now starting to see the shape of the new fairway bunker on #10. Things are moving along. All in a days work.

These guys from Fleetwood are doing an amazing job and have been great to work with! Everything is rough shaped in and now starting to edge in the bunkers and finish drainage. We have had massive amounts of irrigation to fix along the way, but that’s part of it. #progress

A lot has happened in 13 days! •removed 3 trees •added 3 bunkers (1 fwy, 2 green side) •removed the beat up asphalt path and have begun to pour back the new concrete path •added 2 new tees on #11 •added over 700’ of irrigation pipe and 7 new heads for improved coverage

Beautiful morning for a late season wetting agent app. Next up, snow mold app then covers (no, we don’t have a hard close date yet). Beautiful week ahead!

Over 30,000 sq ft of sod went down today. Little different look from 7am this morning till 3pm! Great job by all and can’t wait to get it in play next spring.

Beautiful morning to wrap up the renovation on 10/11. Erosion blanket is down on trench lines and last of the irrigation components are in. Plan is to open it up in spring once the sod roots. Love the new look!
