A much warmer April than a year ago finds us ahead of the game in 2024. We started conditioning the greens with a little trim on Thursday along with rolling them a couple times prior to that. As the weather continues to improve and they take on their summer growth we will find ourselves increasing the inputs to optimize the ball roll moving forward. No timeline for that based on the lack of sun lately. Sun would help us tremendously moving forward. We are in a great position to provide great conditions at Settlers Bay this season. The greens are almost flawless, the irrigation is on, the fairways and tees are greening up, and the staff is in place to maintain conditions.
We are almost finished with cleaning up the grounds from all the blown down twigs, stems and trees. Expect to see us tackling new projects throughout the summer. We will be replacing the drain tile on 6 and 7, adding netting to the driving range to help retain the golf balls from entering the woods, and expanding teeing areas on number 3 and 8 as well.
The challenge to providing conditions for quality golf in AK is second to none. Come out to Settlers Bay and see what the maintenance team is doing, we are sure you will enjoy their efforts.
