New family of foxes getting larger by the day.
Not a great picture but it is the closest I could get to the little critters. They were playing around the hill in front of the 16th approach with "mom" supervising . If you ever see an animal carcass, wings from a bird or a fish head on a cart path, it is the disposal system of this family.

Before and after pictures of the right rough on the 6th hole.
This area next to the 6th fairway is a difficult area to maintain. It have very limited space between the bunker and the fence which adds to the compaction problem. Also, being quite a distance from the irrigation heads of the fairway it suffers from inadequate moisture.The top picture shows the poor quality turf with some rutting from constant erosion. The bottom picture is the after with new sod and some special aeration (aero-vator and root pruning of the trees on other side of the fence). We will restrict the cart traffic in this area and hopefully it will remain in good condition for all the power fade shots coming from the 6th tee.

Irrigation work at the 2nd green is between a "rock and a hard place".
John Fleming, Pedro De La Cruz and Jerry Stockmal struggle to remove a large boulder that came out of the trench where the new irrigation line is going at the 2nd green. I guess we didn't quite realize that the soil out of the flood plain was a little rocky. Duh!

The 2nd hole will be closed from 12:00 to 3:00 for fairway aeration today.
In a effort to complete fairway aeration as soon as possible, we will aerate the 2nd fairway today. Fairway aeration is a time consuming process that needs the right weather to properly complete. On day's with rain in the forecast or very little sun we can not risk the chance of up to 2 acres of wet aeration plugs sitting on the fairway surface smothering the turf. This is the reason for aeration on all days that are conducive for this type of work.
