THE MAD POST

Submitted by Gary Ward, General Manager & C.O.O.

On July 2^nd our irrigation contractor will begin work on the installation of our new system. During the first two weeks of the project, the irrigation team will be installing mainlines which are generally on the periphery of holes, so disruption to golf will be minimal. Chad provides more detail in his article.

Members have asked me, why are we starting the project so early in the summer? It’s to ensure the work on #6, #12 and #17 will be completed by the middle of August. The mid-August date is critical so we have a six-week window for the seed to germinate and the turf to get established this year, which will allow us to open these holes earlier in 2026.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a huge shout out to the grounds team, they have been working tirelessly to prepare the golf course through the extremely compressed golf schedule.  Rob Wilson and Mike Oloane have provided great leadership through some challenging weather conditions, from a very cool spring to extreme heat in a short time frame, congratulations to the entire team!
