As we begin February, the days have already lengthened by 40 minutes, and we will add another 60 by the end of the month. More daylight hours mean more time to golf! This is especially important since we are in the busiest time of the year. Continue to monitor the Chelsea home page each morning as frost is very possible all the way through the middle of next month even with the increased daylight and ever-increasing temperatures. Look for our pro shop Valentines Sale Week running Monday, February 12 through Sunday, February 18. New inventory is in stock with great discounts!

A maintenance plan is put into place at the beginning of the year. Variance in weather and agronomic conditions may require changes to the schedule.
February Maintenance Schedule
The Bermuda base is now fully dormant and a golden-brown color. In order to keep heat in the turf, to help it to stay pliable to resist damage from cart traffic, and to make it a beautiful green, we will be painting the fairways, greens, and tees every three weeks. During a painting week, a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday will have tee times starting one hour later.
We will continue closing one hole per nine to cart traffic to help maintain the quality of the turf. We will also continue our program of resting the natural turf tee on the driving range one week per month, except in December and January, when it will be rested for two weeks in those months due to the slowing of the growth rate of the rye overseed and the heavy use of the driving range.
Back Nine morning nine-holes times will not be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on a year-round basis to allow maintenance time to complete weekly tasks.
Every month Mike and Ken will conduct a free golf clinic. All residents and their guests are welcome to attend, and there is no cost. Please sign up in the Pro Shop. The staff have a book behind the counter with all the scheduled clinics that you can sign up for. You are welcome to attend as often and as many as you like! The clinics will cover basic technique and mechanics of each topic. Our golf clinics are great for learning a new skill or brushing up a skill that needs some work. The next clinic will be in February and will cover pitching. It will be held on Monday, February 26th at 2:00pm at the practice pitching green. Please see your Chelsea home page event calendar for the full clinic schedule.
