Collars

Just a note,  The Collars are going to be fuzzy and a little tall over the next couple weeks as the over seed grows in!  Kevin

Busting Out Work

We made it through a tough dry summer here at RNK.  We seen some of the most dry conditions we have in a few years in the months of August and September.  We went 31 days without a drop of rain.  The New Kent rain bubble was in full effect even during last weekends rain with only 1.6 inches of rain over the 4 days.  With the rain staying away and turf not growing we have a chance to knock out a few items on the to-do list.  The stack sod bunker face has turned out awesome and we are looking forward to do more of that in the near future on hole 11.  When the pond level gets low, I have hated the look of 18 green with the bottom of the pond showing.  One of the first things I did two years ago when I got here was find the things that wasted time and effort that need to be eliminated.  One of those was to remove all the Rock Edging on the entire course.  We reused all those rocks and placed them in front of the green in the water making the island appearance even when the water levels are low.  We started the process of aerating and overseeding the collars this week as well.  I hope you you had a great summer at all of the Traditional Golf Properties!
