FORECADDIE NEWS & UPDATES:
June brought temperatures in the 100’s, and July will hopefully include plenty of rainfall. Please remember to increase hydration. Here in the desert, due to the dry air, perspiration is not evident, and it is easy to get dehydrated without realizing it. Please also remember that the rainstorms in summer usually also have thunder and lightning, so please take shelter and stay safe! Stay in tune with the Forecaddie to keep up to date with everything pro shop and golf course related. In the sections following, you will find all the information relating to this month in golf, as well as contact information for our golf associations and our Greens Committee.

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. June/July Maintenance Schedule The entire facility will be closed every Wednesday, June through September, June 6 to June 12 and August 1 to August 7 for heavier maintenance operations. The course has also one additional scheduled closure week September 19 to September 30 to prep for the winter. Since we will not be overseeding the fairways, carts may access the fairways when we open October 1. On the range tee, the natural turf will be rested 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. The Bermuda turf is actively growing and coming out of dormancy. The maintenance crew will be applying fertilizers and performing cultivation to support this activity. Changes in the rotation of the course or one-hour delays to the first tee time may occur as needed to support these important procedures. Please support our maintenance staff by filling divots with sand and repairing ball marks on the green. Back Nine morning 9-hole times will not be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on a year-round
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 and are great for learning a new skill or brushing up a skill that needs some work.
