As The Seasons Change...

We finally made it through the long dog days of summer and have emerged into autumn, albeit, a little tired and weary. With the temperatures on their gradual decline, we get a chance to catch our breath around here and cruise through fall taking advantage of what a beautiful place The Legacy Course becomes when the leaves begin to change.  Below are just a few select scenes from around the course. 

Fall colors provide a nice backdrop to Number 3 green.

Above are photos of Number 14 on the left and Number 11 on the right.

The ryegrass is coming in nicely on the practice range.
However, as we wish it would stay "Octember" all year, the leaves do eventually fall off the trees and we do our best at keeping the course clean for play.  We use a combination of pull-behind turbine debris blowers and a tractor driven Rake-O-Vac to try and keep up with the falling leaves.

FROST!

We received our first frost of the season on October 21.  This is about average for this part of the state.  Please be sure to read through the Frost Delays tab on the blog for information on how frost and freezing temperatures affect the golf course.  Below is a photo of a frosty wonderland out on Number 5 tee.
