As we enter into the middle of September it is a busy time in the Golf Maintenance Department. The course was fertilized about one week ago and the turf is healthy and growing well. The cooler temps at night and during the day are exactly what September should provide in the way of weather and the turf likes it. We will do one more fertilizer application this season to the course but that will be done around Thanksgiving and it is completed when the turf is dormant.
We will begin our aeration of greens,tees and fairways in a few weeks but we are already preparing the turf for the event. The fertilizer we applied will get the turf growing vigorously and helps in the recovery process after the aeration is complete. The course will be closed on September 24th and 25th so that we may aerate the greens and tees. We will also begin aerating the fairways but that is done during the week after we reopen. As always we appreciate your patience as we move through this important agronomic practice.

| Preparation for the Grandview Invitational |
This week anticipation is running high as we prepare the course for the Grandview Invitational. The annual Member/Guest is a great event that is the highlight of our season and is always enjoyed by the participants. Players come form all over the country and it is good to see many of them return annually for the event. The course is in great shape so this years event should be a challenge as long as Mother Nature does not have other plans! The Grandview will begin tomorrow September 13th and run thru Saturday September 15th.
It is a fantastic time of the year for golf. The weather is great and course playability is very good. The leaves have not turned or started to drop so conditions are optimal. Come out and enjoy the course during one of the best times of the year to play.
