Officially winter started December 21st but our weather pattern lately feels more

like September 21st. Warm temperatures and rainfall have resulted in fairways greeninglike September 21st. Warm temperatures and rainfall have resulted in fairways greening

back up and greens are experiencing disease pressure. We have had to make some minor

adjustments to our agronomic plan and delay some projects due to these conditions. We

have managed adding sand to bunkers and more will be completed in the first part of

January. Other areas of improvement to look for include tree removal, irrigation upgrades

and improvements tree lined areas. I look forward to continued growth in 2016 and thank

you for your comments suggestions. As always I can be reached via e-mail at
