Course and bunker update.

We are continuing to work on mowing rough. We know it is long in many areas. The mower is moving around as fast as he can. With all the rain and now the sunshine it is growing very rapidly. 

The bunkers at Yaupon should still be played as ground under repair. With 15" of rain last week we are trying to get around and check the depths as they have washed down some. Hopefully we will get to rake them by this weekend. 

The GCM staff appreciate your under standing and cooperation as we work on getting caught up. 

Course Update.

After all the rain we have had the courses will be cart path only. We have been able to mow tees and most of the fairways. The cut is not great due to the length of the grass and there will be clippings around the course. Yaupon bunkers will be played as ground under repair because we will not be able to start checking sand depths until next week. Lastly we will try and topdress greens at Yaupon on Monday weather permitting. 

Fire Ants are out so be careful- we will try to treat those at Yaupon Monday and live oak Thursday. It needs to be dry to apply the bait. 

Thanks,

The GCM Staff

Rain and Aerification Updates

As of this morning we have had around 12" of rain. As you can imagine the courses are extremely wet. Also with the excessive rainfall we need to watch out for the fire ants that are coming up to the surface. When we dry out we will again treat for the ants. Aerification plans changed due to the weather. We are in the process of aeifying the greens. Instead of pulling a core we decided to use a solid tine. With everything so wet we decided this is the best option to at least get some air movement through the soil base. 

Thanks,

The GCM Team

Rain

Aerification  was washed out again this morning at Yaupon. According to the LCRA rainfall summary we have had 10.77" over the past week. There is a lot of water and debris over both courses. Along with that the rough, fairways, and tees will be pretty long. It may be a few days before we can try and start mowing some of these areas. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to catch back up. 

Thanks,

GCM Staff

Rain is back.

The rain has returned to our area. As of this morning we had around 5". 

Yaupon is closed for Aerification today and reopening of Friday. We will try and start the Aerification on Tuesday since today looks like a washout. 

Thanks and stay dry,

The GCM staff
