Page three.
in response to several questions, Golf Pro Brian Enman stated that the dry
spots on the back fairways are due to ledge just a few inches under the
top soil. Many of the benches have been replaced or repaired, and work
will continue on the project.
Many golf courses have stopped putting drinking water out because they
fear contamination. We will continue to have water stops because they
are secured. In the future, Brian may look into putting bubblers
throughout the course.
The hedge at Hole#1 will be replaced with a cedar hedge this Fall.
Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
