Things are winding down with fall work to get the golf course ready for winter and winter play. We most likely performed the final mowing on greens this past week and applied the snow mold chemicals to all greens.

| Spraying #11 green |
I did add some green pigment into the tank mix last week so the greens have more of a green color. Painting turf is becoming a common practice on warm season turf down south as it is much more economical than overseeding during the winter months and it creates a better playing surface during the spring transition period in the spring. We will continue to spray the greens a couple times throughout the winter.
Leaf clean-up has been tedious for the last 4 weeks but I would say about 90% of the leaves are down and cleaned up. The big windstorm last weekend had the golf course covered in leaves and kept us busy for most of this past week. Fortunately, that should leave us just small spot clean-ups in the future.

The future will be getting the golf accessories ready with trash cans, ball washers, and matts for the par 3 tees during the winter. Greens will continue to be to rolled on a regular basis through out the winter but only mowed as needed for a "clean-up".
