GOOSE CONTROL

The coyote cutouts you see on the course are to help us control the geese population. Geese are typically lazy and they will not land where they think they are going to be chased or are in danger. The cutouts that we put out should help reduce the geese population on the course. The key will be to move the cutouts periodically so the geese don't get used to them not moving and determining them as no threat.

TRAFFIC AREAS

We are starting to notice some traffic areas showing up on the course. As always, please follow our cart rules and signs.

A FEW REMINDERS:
Never drive in the natives
Stay on the cart path on all parts threes.
We are always 90 degree rule in our fairways (unless it is too wet). 90 degrees to your ball, exit fairway 90 degrees, drive on path or rough the remainder of the hole until you see cart signs then return to path.

Thanks for helping keep Staley Farms beautiful.

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

We are watching 3 green pretty closely. We checked the moisture level this morning and it is at 13% volumetric water content. We dont want to see any readings below 10% We will watch it closely. There is a good chance of rain Sunday evening. If it doesn't rain we will be turning the irrigation system back on to water these areas next week.

TRIM WORK

We are working on the native areas. It is best if we cut down these areas once per season to keep the trees and unwanted brush from taking over in these areas. It is a lot of hand work but it is worth it in the long run. It is our intention to reduce the amount of weeds in these areas.

DUST OFF THE GOLF CLUBS

We mowed greens, rolled greens, moved pin placements, and blew off goose droppings this morning. It looks like we have some great golf weather ahead of us this weekend. Please come out and enjoy some golf this weekend.
