Men’s Club Championship

This year’s Club Championship was quite the thriller. We saw some great shots and even better putts made down the stretch than I can remember in years’ past. We had a near record setting field of 114 players sign up for both the Blue, White and Player’s tee divisions. The tournament came down to the last hole with Taylor Smith lipping out his birdie putt on the eighteenth hole that would have put the tournament into extra holes.

Congratulations to our 2020 Men’s Club Champion, Zach Healy. Zach shot a score of seven under par for the three rounds to win by one shot over Taylor Smith. Dave Oster is the 2020 Net Champion, Richard Pentecost is the 2020 Men’s Senior Champion and Charles Kyle is the 2020 Junior Club Champion. Congratulations to all of the winners are listed below!

Superintendent News September 2020

Last month right after the Club Championship, we had to take immediate action and verti-cut the greens. I began noticing the grass beginning to grow over the top of each other. When this happens, the greens will get very grainy. It was a practice I did not enjoy doing this time of the year going into the fall, but It was a process that I felt the need to be done soon to help our putting surfaces. Greens #7, #8, and #17 took the worst beating of them all. I will be interested to see if those three greens do turn out to be the best once they grow back. In the future Summers after the greens scalping, this might be a practice that needs to be implemented once a month. With our greens aging, we will see more these growth habitsEvery September is when we begin to raise the heights throughout the golf course, including the greens, to prepare for the winter. As soon as the cooler temperature set in, you notice a change in the grass where the leaf blades shrink up to mimic that it has been sprayed with a growth regulator. That is when you should see speeds pick back up. This year since college golf has been cancelled and as long as the seed is here, we will seed the driving range tee the Monday after the member guest. It normally takes about 3 weeks for the ryegrass to be ready for golf shots.

Any questions, please stop and ask,Chris Purvis

The WGA was finally able to hold the Step Aside Tournament and the mid-year meeting on August 22 outside on the porch (social distancing, of course). What a lovely setting to discuss the business for WGA and enjoy appetizers and beverages!

Congratulations to the winners of the tournament:
