Course Opens

Wedgewood has officially opened its golf course for the 2017 season! Friday March 24th at Noon was our first tee time and these lucky gentleman were

the first to help us get the season into swing.

The first group of the year!

Veranda Construction

As you may have noticed when visiting the Clubhouse, the Veranda Addition transformation is underway. The doors leading to the Veranda area will continue to be temporarily restricted from use, while we complete construction. We do apologize about this inconvenience, full access to this area will be restored once construction is completed. Once our Veranda renovations are complete the addition will be the perfect space for members to relax and enjoy a unique dining experience, which comes with a one-of-a-kind view!

Getting the Golf Course Ready

As we all know this winter has been so mild, it hasn’t felt like winter at all. We have set a record of twelve 60+ degree days for this year alone. As I write this article we have mowed the greens twice and fairways once. This is the first time I’ve ever mowed the fairway in February and it’s also the first time ever mowing the greens twice! This past year was recorded as the second warmest year on record in Ohio. All but one month was well above average in temperature. This created a stressful environment for the bentgrass when combined with the humidity, lack of air movement, and reduced sunlight. Greens 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, & 15 all have environments that are poor for bentgrass management (due to shade, lack of air movement, or both). Bentgrass is also intolerant of humidity, especially when combined with heat. The prolonged heat and humidity this past summer took its toll on the previously mentioned greens, resulting in less than acceptable conditions. So this winter the staff has been busy strategically removing tree and brush to open up light and air movement on greens 1, 3, 4, 6, & 10. This should in turn help produce healthier turf avoiding the situation we had last September. The ravine behind the 1 and 10 greens is now opened up, producing many new views around the course! We are about 90% of the way finished, so there is work yet to be done. We still have a tremendous amount of clean up to do and your patience will be appreciated.

See you on the course,

Joe Noppenberger, Golf Course Superintendent
