Spring Continues



We sodded the left side of the 3rd green Friday.  With this weird winter weather we have been able to accomplish many tasks that are usually left on a list of To Do's when we start spring.

How we choose projects depends on many factors.  The size of the project, the location and the availability of resources and timing of weather all plays a part.  Most times we are correcting issues such as drainage or recovery from cart traffic.  We are starting to find the time to improve areas that we feel will enhance the playability of the course.

This area left of 3 green contained many types of grass that performed well only under certain conditions.  By stripping all the offending grass and planing a uniform stand we hope to improve the playability and reduce the chance you draw a poor lie.  Unfortunately it also acts as a path for all the carts with handicap flags as well as the primary walk on and off.  Traffic factors asides we continue to seek areas to continually improve the experience of playing at WGCC.
