What Happened to Summer?

We do refer to the recently completed greens aeration as "fall aeration", but I certainly didn't expect summer to wain as quickly as it seems to have.  Temps for the foreseeable future will be below normal, making for nice golf conditions.  Rainfall however, has been abundant, although the course is holding up well, especially considering the high volumes of play we've have been experiencing lately.

As previously mentioned, we completed a core aeration of greens on August 6th and 7th.  They are healing well, and should be back to normal in about a week or so.  The rest of the course is in really nice shape right now, so come out and enjoy it!

My department is in the planning stages of several construction projects scheduled to start this fall.  The next few months will be a busy time around the golf course for my department.  As the summer slips into fall, we are able to transition away from the intense daily maintenance type tasks to more project/construction types of work.

The fall is my favorite season, and many would agree that it is the nicest time of year to play golf.  So come on out and play Galen Hall!
