Good morning all!
We will be roping off holes #1, 7 and 8 to keep cart traffic from further beating down the fairways and roughs. With the wet weather coupled with cart traffic, the turf coverage on these three holes has really diminished. Last year, roping off #1 through the spring green-up really enabled the rough to fill in on the right side under the tree line. With as much shade as these three holes have, it's a challenge keeping the rough nice and thick, and with the turf currently dormant, it thins out even quicker with any cart traffic on it.
I know this is a hindrance and potentially adds a little time to the pace of play. It's not my intention to negatively impact anyone's round whatsoever. I'm keeping the best interest of the course and it's conditioning in mind.
Also, please keep in mind that the par three holes should remain cart path only at all times. I will be looking at permanent signage to place on holes #2, 6, 12 and 16 that state these holes are cart path only in the near future.
Thank you for your understanding on this matter and I look forward to seeing you on the course.
Chuck
You need to rope off 17 at the dogleg, check it out, the fairway already looks like my driveway. Actually, as far as I'm concerned, you can rope off the entire golf course until June.
