Course Maintenance
- Allen reported that 131 days out of the last 151 the wind averaged more than 25km/h - no wonder Allen and his staff had their hands full trying to keep the course in good shape.
- Our greens are really showing a lot of promise after the hollow tyning. There are still problem areas, but Allen and Mark are very confident that it will be sorted out in due time.
- After much deliberation everyone agreed to continue with Cynoden Grass on the greens - the soil temperature is on the rise which means the dormancy period of the grass is over. We might have to dig up and re-sod some bad patches if necessary.
- Over the next few days we will be close sprigging the bald spots on the greens that require the additional grass.
- The temporary greens are an indication that bump-and-run shots will soon be possible again on most of the holes.
- Once we've completed tyning the tees we'll tyne the fairways.
- In order to speed up play some of the ropes will be moved closer to the greens. Please keep the carts behind the ropes and please be careful not to damage the carts on the curbs when joining the cart path.

 Chris walks into a bar and orders a beer. After a couple of sips he looks up and sees a woman sitting at the end of the bar. He calls the bartender over and says he'd like to buy the lady a drink. The bartender says "Listen pal, let me save you some trouble. She's a lesbian". The guy takes a second, thinks it over, shrugs his shoulders and says "That's ok. I'd like to buy her a drink anyway." So the bartender brings the woman her drink. The woman lifts her glass and gives the man a nod of thanks. Chris gets up from his bar stool and saunters over to the woman. As he's sitting down on the stool next to her he says, "So, what part of Lesbia are you from?" A pregnant Debbie with her first child, paid a visit to her obstetrician's office. After the exam, she shyly said, "My husband Sheldon wants me to ask you...", to which the doctor replies "I know...I know..." placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I get asked that all the time. Sex is fine until late in the pregnancy." "No, that's not it," Debbie confessed. "Sheldon wants to know if I can still mow the lawn." |
