sNOw way!

    There is a slight chance for snow tomorrow. This is not something were getting too excited about but it would be a rare occurrence here in Monterey. I heard a couple people comment that the last time there was snow in our area was back in the late 60's.
    Even with a short week for our staff accomplished a lot this week. We were able to knock out all of our mowing, even mowing tees in a side-to-side cut. We were also able to extend the fairway out on hole 14. The original design of the hole was for a longer carry to the fairway but this has proved to be a bit of a stretch for some of our clientele. So in an effort to be a little more customer friendly we decided it wouldn't be too much more work to have to mow another 15-20 yards of fairway.


Tom - scalping down the rough on #14
 
Double cutting
    We followed up the scalping with a solid tine aeration, a bunch of rye seed, and a little fertilizer. Hopefully the rain that is forecast for the next couple of days will help to get this area in shape.
