Watering

This morning I noticed that many homeowners have not turned their water off for their lawns. I do not understand as to why this is being overlooked in this day of thinking about resources this over use of water is wasteful. I have only watered our clubhouse and pool lawn 3 times the entire year. These lawns would be similar to any yard and look as good or better then any lawn in the neighbor hood. Please look into this if you know someone that may need help or instruction about how to work the sprinkler system. It may be that is the case and they do not even realize the water is running because it runs so early in the morning

Thank you

This is what happens when you leave a bunker from the face. The banks are very wet and soft. Please do not enter or leave the bunkers from the steep faces

Changes

I recently made a few changes to my staff and promoted Armando to the position of foreman replacing my former assistant

A little background on Armando. He is from Mexico city and his first job in the states was 7 years ago with me. He helped me in finishing the construction of the golf course and has been with me ever since. Armando has a wife a 2 children here in Madison and family back in Mexico. He came here to live the dream and give his family a great place to grow. I would have to say that he is very well respected among the entire staff. He knows the golf course very well and I can count on him to get any job done that is asked.

The bunkers have been his main goal this year. I am sure you have noticed a big improvement this year and Armando should receive most of the credit.

As we move forward I will be guiding him in all aspects of the course and giving him more to learn daily. I have the up most respect for him and know that he can handle anything that I ask

If you have a chance introduce yourself to Armando you will be seeing a lot more of him down the road

Well here we go again. 1.5 inches of rain and every bunker completely washed out. We will do our best to get everything back to normal quickly
