Well Happy Halloween Members and Guests, I finally believe MotherNature is finally giving us a beautiful fall for this weekend and for next week, if you havent been out golfing, I am thinking Sunday is going to be great!! Well Course conditions is getting better, the previous rainfall brought us 1.5" of rain and it just never seemed to stop on Thursday, causing us to be extremely wet on Friday and most of Saturday. I have had to limit carts on paths for a few days, but this time of year is where we definitely can not afford any damage to the turf, mainly because is has slowed down to halt, so any damage we have now, will definitely be here in the spring.
The driving range and practice holes have been heavily seeded once again, hopefully we will get a great stand of turf to give to you all this spring. I would ask everyone to stay limited to cart paths only on the practice holes, it will definitely help out with the germination of the new grass, which I have seen alot of seed popping, but I know with the temps we are going to get next week it should be "just what the doctor ordered"!!
Well I hope November stays the same, but if not I am sure I will see ya out and about!!

Brrrrrrrrr!
Well all be, the weather just doesnt know what to do!! This week we actually got pretty lucky and had a few nice days at the start of ther week to get some work completed, then the forecast on Wednesday looked gloomy and rainy, which turned out to be semi correct but the rain held off until we had gotten #5 cart path sodded in!! 2 more holes to go, with 18 being the next!! The range and practice holes have been heavily overseeded, so I am anxious to seem the outcome come spring, I would ask though if you are playing the 3 practice holes, if you could keep the carts on the paths, there may be many times through the fall that it might become a little muddy.
Saturday the weather looks like another frosty morning, but warming up nicely, but please call ahead of your scheduled tee time to find out course conditions. Sunday the clouds and chances of rain roll back in?? I hope you all have a great weekend, and it worked last week-"Go Cats!!"

Sun of a Gun!
Can you believe its been a long time since we were able to see the sun, it was bright, and I had to search for my sunglasses!! Well it looks like we might have some decent golfing weather through the weekend, but come Tues-Friday of next week another large front is heading our way with rain and clouds. This weekends golf report looks like we might see a little frost on the pumpkin on Saturday with lows around 34, so please check with the golf shop before making your way to the course, unless you like seeing those guys!! Have a good weekend, GO CATS!!

Drizzle and Clouds
This weather lately has definitely put a damper in my mood, we haven't seen the sun for 4 weeks it seems. The wetter weather we have been experiencing has definitely halted many winter prep jobs, like overseeding and fairway aerification. Hopefully the weather will change and Mother Nature might actually give us a fall and we can get the course in shape for winter dormancy. I will keep ya posted

Getting Started
Well, I am one that had grown up using a computer quite a bit, but unlike in todays society, so please be patient as I learn the new blogging!! It should be fun for me, as I like to talk ALOT, but also fun for the members of Terradyne and anyone else following! So in the coming days I should be starting and editing the new blogspot for TCC Golf and Grounds.
