Walk mowing tees

We have recently begun to experiment with walk mowing our tees.  This is a more time consuming process than with the riding "triplex" mowers that have been used here at The Forest historically and requires one additional equipment operator each time we mow the tees.  Mowing square tee boxes with triplex mowers is very difficult and causes unnecessary wear along the front and back of the tees and causes the tee box to lose definition.  Many high end clubs use this practice and we are hoping that this upgrade will improve the quality of turf on the tee tops and surrounding areas.

Bobcat #12 cartpath

When the Bobcat course reopens on Tuesday September 16, 2014 from our final closure, you will notice a change in the routing of #12 cart path.  We excavated a new screening cart path that cuts between the 1 and 2 tee boxes and continues down the left side of the tee complex.  This was done in conjunction with architect Gordon Lewis's planning for a project in summer 2015, in an effort to move golfers and carts further away from #11 green.  Next summer during the project we hope to remove the path on the right side of the tees and move all tee boxes further to the left side of the hole, closer to the new path.
