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. 

GCM Team. 

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

#2 Live Oak.

We added rubber mats to the stairs going up to #2 tees at Live Oak. 

Fire ants.

With the recent rains (@2.50") our friend the fire ant has come back around. Please be careful the next several days. 

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

Thanks for you cooperation. 

Overseeding.

Today we have started putting out our winter overseed at Live Oak. Yesterday we were able to get the seed on the tees and today we are concentrating on the fairways. We will reopen Live Oak on Monday 9/29. We look forward to having a nice overseed at Live Oak this winter. 

Thanks from your GCM Staff

Rainfall

Last nights rainfall total is in the neighborhood of 5". 

We will be Cart Path Only all day and we will reevaluate tomorrow. 

There is a lot of debris and trash all around the course that we are working on getting cleaned up. Also we will be working on repairing the bunkers that washed out last night. 

With more rain forecasted mowing anything will be a challenge the rest of the week.
