Divots.....

As you can see from the pictures below, we have made an effort to fill all the divots on all of the tee boxes.  The result is a more manicured and detailed golf course.  Stillmeadow Turf and Maintenance has every intention of keeping the divots on tees filled as often as possible.  The next hurdle is to fill all the divots on the fairways and to then keep them filled.  Keeping up with fairway divots can be difficult and for this reason we would like to ask you the members for help. 

The first thing that all members can do is to please replace your divots.  If you are not able to find your divot then please fill your divot with the sand and seed blend.  You will find the bottles containing the sand and seed mix on your golf cart.  I realize that at times this process is annoying and can be difficult especially when carts are on the paths for the day.  However, it is definitely a necessary process for you to have the type of golfing experience that represents the club and yourself well.  It starts with you!

The second thing we would like to mention is that the management team has made an investment in the purchase of a divot bottle storage box that will be located at the tenth tee.  This box will contain filled bottles to be used on the back 9.  This means if you have any extra sand in either of the two bottles you started with on your cart, please fill extra divots on 9 fairway because you will quickly be able to replace your empty bottles at the turn.

The last thing we are looking for when it comes to divot maintenance is to have members that would be willing to come out and volunteer to fill fairway divots.  There is no set time that you would have to be available so if you have any interest at all we would urge you to drop your name in the pro-shop and someone from the Stillmeadow Turf and maintenance will contact you shortly.
