Spring....err...I mean Summer!

It's been a while since updating the Blog.  Hopefully understandable, as golf season and course preparations are in FULL swing.  The record setting March was a welcome suprise for all; providing an excellent start to the growing season and an opportunity for Members to reengage with Highland early in the calendar year.

As you can imagine, it has been quite challenging balancing the needs of a course in May condition while still attempting to accomplish March needs; all with a reduced staff typical for this time of year.  We are knee deep in mowing schedules, topdressing programs, pesticide needs, PGR applications, etc. etc.  This is unheard of for anytime in March, especially starting as early as mid March.  However, I am proud and confident to say the golf course is in excellent playing condition.  Nice, dry days have kept the facility firm (especially for spring!) and all the preparations we have accomplished compliment this nice weather stretch.

The Master's is upcoming, and that means our first "unofficial" event of the season...the Master's Par 3 event is right around the corner.  Let the season commence!!
