Topdressing Greens

https://www.usga.org/course-care/regional-updates/southeast-region/the-benefits-of-sand-topdressing.html

Above is a USGA article about the benefits of top dressing greens. I have had some questions about why we top dress greens on our closed maintenance days.  I decided to post a link to an article from the USGA explaining why this is a good thing.  This has been and will be a continuous practice during the growing season.

Thank you and hope everyone comes out to enjoy the Warm weather.

Lakeway Cup

Final round of Lakeway Cup today. Team Live Oak has a slim 1 point lead on Team Yaupon. Should be an exciting finish to this years Cup. Greens were mowed and rolled(rolling Great). New fairways are holding up well so please remember to Fill all Divots. Good luck to both teams.

Opening Day

We have come a long way in the last few months. Tomorrow Friday the 13th we will be open for morning tee times followed by our first Round of the Lakeway Cup. In the morning players will need to get a pinsheet as we will have out our white tournament flags all day. Good luck to Guys playing in the Cup and May the best course win. A reminder from the email sent out-we will be Cart Path Only on holes #11 and #16. We are also going to play winter rules as we open back up for play. As for carts we  will be mostly 90 degrees- I ask that if you see a thin area or worn area please take a different route back to the cart path.(This is always good practice at any course to not beat down one area)

Thanks and have fun. The guys worked extremely hard this summer so my hat is off to  the crew
