As the maintenance staff works through the winter we will be doing additional brush clearing around the course. We are looking for feedback from the golfers about how we could improve the playability of Sycamore Ridge. If you have a thought about how we could make a change to the course that would make your round more enjoyable, I would love to hear it. Primarily, I am looking for ideas about areas that become excessively penal with just a SLIGHTLY errant shot. In other words, if a golf hole has an area where a shot misses a fairway or green by just a little bit, and the ball bounces into an unplayable area and you think this issue could be easily remedied, please tell me about it.
I do not promise to deliver on all suggestions, and some may be taken to committee, but your thoughts and ideas are important to us.
Methods to communicate your ideas are as follows;
1) pdavids@orion-mgmt.com
2) 913-592-2085 Office phone number
3) Find me at the course.
Paul, I was out there Thursday and have played there for years. I know the burning is something done and that rough grows up through the year but I noticed a lot of the smaller ( 1" and less saplings type ) cut down off the edges of the fairways and rough. Is that type of trimming to continue or was that thinning for early this year only? Thanks.

ReplyDeleteOver the 18 years since the course was built, trees and brush have crowded the perimeters of the course. What we did, was to recapture some of these areas. The work done in each area was to achieve better turf health or improved playability/visibility. We have done significant work like this over the last two years. The intent is to maintain a cleaner undergrowth going forward. While we may do additional clearing like we did in January, it will likely be less dramatic and more maintenance.
