Yaupon Update

Today Yaupon is closed for a one day aerification. Over the past 10-14 days we have seen good recovery on the greens. With this said we still feel that this aerification and the scheduled aerification in August will do a great deal by removing old material and replacing it with new sand. During this process we are able to incorporate soil amendments easier into the greens mix. We thank you for your patience and continued cooperation during this process. 

Sun

The sun is finally decided to come out. This week we are going to try and get everything mowed. We cut some of the fairways today but some areas remain too wet to mow. Rough is going to be very long until we can get around to mow it all. We are working as fast as we can to get everything back to normal. We appreciate your understanding. 

 

Thanks-- The GCM staff

May Rainfall

 Another 1" of rainfall over night bringing our recorded total over the past few weeks to over 11". It is extremely wet especially #4 and #6 at Yaupon and numerous holes at Live Oak. We will remain Cart Path Only through the weekend and will evaluate the situation early next week. Rainfall is predicted again tomorrow and then it looks better for next week. Please keep carts on the paths. One last thing is the fairways and rough will be extremely long due to the weather and lack of dry days and areas to mow. 

Thanks. GCM staff

Live Oak Aerification

Thank you to all that participated in this past weekends Member/Guest tournament. I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed the weekend. 

Today(Tuesday 5/19) we have started our first aerification on the Live Oak greens. We will reopen on Friday(5/22). 

Thank you and we appreciate your support and cooperation.

Hail damage.

As many have seen last nights hail storm caused some damage to the greens. This morning we blew off all the debris on the greens. Tomorrow we start our core aerification at Yaupon so no big issue there. Live Oak tomorrow we will roll the greens in the morning and see how they look. If they look OK we might try and mow them in the afternoon. Also all week we will be picking up limbs and debris at both courses. It is going to be a long week. We appreciate your understanding and we will work hard to get everything cleaned up as fast as possible. 

Thank you,

GCM Staff

Yaupon is back open today and will remain cart path only for the next week or so. 

Thanks for you cooperation.
