To all Habitat and Spessard Holland golfers,

Just wanted to share with you how are renovations are going at Habitat.

Are logistics will be somewhat challenging until we finish up the tees and bunkers.  We are about 1 1/2 days behind due to the weather.

Saturday am we will start on the back nine to give the construction crew time to try and sod in the bunkers on #1-4-5 greens.  Then to finish up #8 fairway.  Staff will be on the course trying to direct you to the proper areas to tee off on the front side.  The back nine tees might not start until next week more than likely.

The most important is the watering of the new sod.  With the little or lack of rain we are going to need and keep the sod wet.  Jamie and the staff will give us a schedule and we will post and give you times that the water will go on and off. If you do play please be aware some tee boxes are closed on the front nine but we have moved them around for you to still play the holes. I’m asking for your patience and support for the next few weeks with these challenges.

I believe that you will be excited to see the changes and how the course will benefit in the long run.

Starting tomorrow the fees will be $25.00 for 18 holes and $20.00 for nine holes this will go until next Friday.

The things we were able to do this week are as follows.

1. Verify greens top dress with sand roll, mow and fertilize them

2. All fairways were aerified verticutted , dragged mowed/ circle cut

3. All tees not being renovated were verified top dressed mowed and fertilized 

4. Collars were aerified double cut

5. The bridge 0n #17 was repaired

6. #13 tee box tree line was trimmed so was #6 tee box.

7. Alvin eliminated more peepers and cleaned up the driving range area

8. Staff went way above the call of duty

Last be not least thank you for your patience and support, we need about 4 weeks of good weeks of weather.

If you have any questions please stop me and I will be happy to discuss with you.  I’m sure I forgot something if so I will be sending out more information.

Thank you,

Mike Yurigan
