| Stroke Play Championship underway on 11 Blue last Sunday |
We wrapped up the Stroke Play Championship last weekend. Congratulations to Will MacDonald on winning with a three day total 217 (+1).

| All ponds are once again full thanks to timely rains! |
After nearly three weeks of dry weather, we received about 1" of rain Sunday and Monday, followed by another 0.4" last night. Any rainfall this time of year is a welcome bonus, and it came at the perfect time by refilling our irrigation ponds. We also enjoyed a brief break from the summer heat, which our greens certainly appreciated. Hopefully everyone had a chance to enjoy the cooler weather, as the forecast looks to return to hot and dry conditions for the foreseeable future.

| 10 Blue on Friday 7.17 |
While the rain has been hugely beneficial - it has resulted in rapid growth on tees, fairways, and roughs. As such much of our focus this week revolved around on catching up with routine mowing, trimming, blowing etc. We also continued vertical mowing fairways, completed core aeration in several areas, and made additional adjustments to mowing patterns in the tall rough to improve playability. Next week we will continue these efforts while also lightly aerating (venting) greens on Monday and begin installing a new fan for #9 Gold.

It looks to be another busy weekend of golf beginning with the MGA on the Blue Course this afternoon.
