Topdressing

As promised all of the aerated greens were topdressed today with additional sand to fill the remaining holes.  This late in the season we had to perform this task on a day that we were closed.  This is due to the duration of time it takes to apply the sand, time for the sand to dry and time for the sand to be brushed.  It is nearly impossible to achieve this without closing at least 9 holes at a time or being very disruptive to play.  We chose to role the dice on today's weather while we were closed.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate.  We were unable to brush the sand in as well as we had expected as there is still a decent amount of sand on the surface that needs to be worked.  However, the course will be open for play tomorrow.  Please keep in mind that it will most likely be rough putting until we are able to get the sand brushed in to a satisfactory level.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
