We are coming up on one of our great tournament of the year, the couples member/guest. The tournament is a good tournament to introduce the golf courses to your guests and let them enjoy the cool Rim weather. The tournament is at a great time of year. I hope all the members and their guests will enjoy our course. The greens shall be rolling at a good and swift speed for the tournament barring any nasty weather. We will have a good turn out and it will be a fun weekend.
The major questions that have arised are about the verticutting of the tees. We completed the tees 1-6 last week and were able to topdress the last few yesterday. These tees shall be in better condition for the tournament. This week we turned our focus to just the back tees on the rest of the complexes since they will not be used for the tournament. We wanted to make sure that nothing new would verticut for the tournament tees.
We will have a great tournament this weekend and if there are any question about the work that is going on this week and the concern about the tournament please feel free to contact me. I am available for any questions and we will make sure that we steer away from any projects that will affect play for the weekend.
On a side note we have been confirmed that we will have the hole of the month next month in Golfdom magazine. Our #13 hole with the backdrop of elephant rock will be published in the magazine along with a small description of the hole. When the issue is released I will make sure we have a few extra hard copies and I will post the link to send out to the members.
