Course
Conditions
All three courses are doing well with the
exception of a couple of the sodded areas on the White Wing greens that we are
keeping a close eye on. You probably have noticed that these areas are roped
off and have been receiving extra attention with sand and hand spiking. We feel
that they should be fine in the spring but will not hesitate to cut any bad
areas out and re-sod them early on in the growing season.
