Chipping area
The chipping area is finally opened. There’s a few areas that are still in rough shape but there’s plenty of grass to open it. As of now we are going to keep the height of cut at 2.25 . When everything fills in we will gradually work the heigh of cut down to collar height which is 3/4 of an inch.
With this warm weather you may have noticed that the rough is thick and deep. We usually mow the rough once a week then on Friday mow a few passes around the fairways and mow the valleys. This week we are on our second mowing of the rough. The backnine will be done on Friday then we will make a few passes around the fairways on the front nine and if we have time mow some of the valleys. Mowing the rough twice a week isn’t easy. It takes about 14 hrs to get through the rough once. The math is easy if we are trying to mow it twice a week 28 hrs . That’s a lot of man hrs if your mowing twice a week. There’s days where we won’t have enough staff to mow the rough twice. We will do our best to keep it mowed down. Have a great weekend... Brudy
