New Flags at RNK

If you have been here this week you noticed that we did away with pin number placements.  The pin number placements some times put us in bad situations in the summer.  Some pins are in spots the green struggles to stay alive during extreme heat and the foot traffic in these areas did not help.  The flags are now colored.  Red = Front , Yellow = Middle, and Blue = Back.  The above chart shows how we figure out what zone is what.  With the huge greens out here as a golfer I would rather know the front, middle back, than a zone that it could be anywhere in that zone that starts in the front and goes to the back.  This also allows us to set up the course at the USGA standards.  Every three holes should have a pin in each of the three zones, the old pin zones were not that way.  Kevin

Pumping out work

We have been very busy fling all over the course.  We have finished painting all three courses. and knocking out small project like cutting back cart paths, cutting sod out for the new hole signs, fixing bunkers and setting up for tournament play.  Now our next task is to get all the pre-emergent out Crab and Goose Grass.  Kevin

CPO

CPO

We will be cart path only for the remainder of the weekend :(  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

8 Bridge

We completed the work on the upside of the bridge by extending the concrete wall up the cart path about 8 feet and down four.  Getting the wall higher up the cart path will stop the water from eroding under the path.

Painting Fairways

We have started painting all the fairways that could be painted, we have some touch up spots to do where it was just too wet to spray.  We should be finishing up this week at Brickshire the moving down to Stonehouse.

This Week

We are starting to crank up this week.  The main project this week will be Painting Fairways!  We have our Pro -Am on the 9th of march we are trying to be painted by.  We are going to paint what we can when we can.  There is a high chance the sprayers will be out over the weekend.  We are going to close the fairways that have wet paint though out the day.  Each hole will be well marked! Please help us out by not driving on wet paint!  Kevin
