Course Renovations & Updates

It has been great to have golfers on the course and to hear their positive comments on the course improvements.  Over the fall we have done everything from filling divots, adding new tees, renovating bunkers and laying new sod.  It has been a lot of work, but with the help of our great staff and “divot divas” we have improved the course and conditions.  Thank you to all of the customers who have stopped in after their round to let us know they appreciate what has been done.  Visit https://thelegacygolfclub.com/course-updates/ for more details on what has taken place since your last visit.

Playing After Severe Storms

A recent article written by Tim Moraghan in Golf Course Industry Magazine(August 2019), discusses the two things superintendents have no control over are the weather and golfers. He wrote a series of “Dear NARP” letters.  NARP stands for “Non-Agronomic Real Person.”  For example, if a storm just went through, even though the sun is now shining, doesn’t mean the course is dry and ready to play.  Here are his thoughts on SEVERE STORMS.

Let’s hope none of us has to endure tornados, hurricanes, hailstorms or other freakish acts of nature. But they occur, and just as you worry about the damage they’ll do to your home, your super has to deal with their effects to the course. Even if it’s nothing serious, cleaning up after any of these events is long, hard, messy work, which doesn’t go any faster because NARPs want to know when they can get back out and play.

Believe it or not, dealing with severe damage to the course is an emotional experience for superintendents and their crews. It’s really tough to see all their hard work washed away or chewed up. Months of planning and effort can be wiped out in minutes. The staff knows you want to play as soon as possible, but a golf course is a living thing that doesn’t heal from major trauma with a snap of the fingers.

No matter what the weather – and for the record, I believe that climate change is real and will continue – please be considerate, understanding and patient as your superintendent and crew do all they can to get the course back into shape.

Winter Play & Frozen Ground

A recent article, written by Tim Moraghan in Golf Course Industry Magazine(August 2019), discusses the two things superintendents have no control over; the weather and golfers. He wrote a series of “Dear NARP” letters.  NARP stands for “Non-Agronomic Real Person.”  For example, if a storm just went through, even though the sun is now shining, it doesn’t mean the course is dry and ready to play.  Here are his thoughts on WINTER PLAY/FROZEN GROUND. If you live somewhere with real winter, you know how quickly temperatures and conditions can change. The ground can go from frozen solid to thawed in a matter of hours. The grass covering the ground may appear ready for play, but the soil is still frozen, making the plant susceptible to root fracture or crown crushing. Those terms mean exactly what they say and neither are good for a golf course.Unfortunately, sometimes operators have to allow winter play at the expense of the golf course. It’s an economic reality that might, in the long run, cost more in repairs and additional labor once winter is over. So, your round in January could severely affect your rounds in June.If you are lucky enough to play on a winter’s day, enjoy it but don’t expect perfect conditions. Last December, I was able to get in a round with a NARP who nearly ruined it when, while tallying our scores, he said, “You need to talk to the superintendent about the slow green speeds today.” I wanted to stab him with my pencil.
