Golf Maintenance Schedule:
A maintenance plan will be put into place at the beginning of the year. Variance in weather and agronomic conditions may re[1]quire changes to the schedule.
August Maintenance Schedule July 31 to August 6 the course is closed for maintenance. During this time activities such as aerification, top-dressing, fertilization, and heavy watering are performed, as well as other tasks as time allows.
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 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.
During the summertime the crew will be spending more time on the course mowing, as all the turf, including the rough, will be actively growing. Please be patient if you encounter them. Heavy mow days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Back Nine morning nine-hole times will not be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on a year-round basis to allow maintenance time to complete weekly tasks.
Free Monthly Golf Clinic:
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 techniques 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 cover pitching and will be held on Monday, August 21st at 9:00 am at the pitching green. Please see your Chelsea home page event calendar for the full clinic schedule.
