Course Update -- Fairways

Despite all the repair work done to the fairways, the areas damaged by Pythium blight earlier this summer are healing slower than anticipated.  The problem comes from the excessive amount of thatch in the fairways, which retains too much moisture and does not provide the ideal conditions for seed germination.  Going forward, the aerification program started this fall will reduce thatch levels over time and the grass will be healthier.  Please refer to an earlier post about aerification and why it is necessary.  Additionally, we're working with our regional support team to implement the best solution to restore the fairways to optimal playing conditions as quickly as possible.
