We are going to get greens and tees aerified this week.  Here are so images from today’s hard work:

New Updates

We will be flipping the cups upside down, removing bunker rakes, and removing ball washers.  We are asking to leave the flagsticks in the cups to limit touching of the pole.  We also ask that you smooth the bunkers out after your shot with your foot. Trying to make it as smooth as possible for golfers behind you.

Thanks you,
The GCM Staff

Cart Path at Yaupon

We have fixed the cart path by #4 Tee.  We cut out the cart path that caved in and back filled the sink holes with rock and soil.  We have temporarily put Decomposed Granite down until we see if it is going to sink again.  Once we feel good the problem is solved we will patch it with concrete.  Today we are going to do the same procedure at 13 blue tee (similar issue). Here are a few pictures of #4 cart path...

Live Oak 14 update

We were able to do some clearing of the under growth at #14 blue tees.  This has made more of the fairway visible off  the tee.  Here is a before and after picture...

Foam Protection at restrooms

We added some foam along the low hanging roofs at Live Oak on the bathrooms. Hopefully this will help prevent any head bumping going forward - but please always watch as you enter the restrooms.

Spring PreEmerge

We were able to get all the spring pre-emerge out today.  After some spreader problems last Thursday, today went relatively smooth.  We are going to water Live Oak tonight so the course may have some wet spots tomorrow (please watch out with the carts)

Thanks,
The GCM Staff.

New Equipment

We are starting to see some new equipment roll in already this year.  So far we have received 2 Toro Greensmaster 3300 (Triplex for Greens) and a heavy duty Toro Workman.  We will continue to update as more equipment comes in.
Looks like a nice weekend after a cold rainy week- so look forward to seeing you out on the courses
