GolfCommission | 2011-10-11 | 2 | The maintenance crew seeded some of the tees on both courses with rye grass to see if that will keep them green through the winter, instead of letting the kikuyu grass go dormant. They are continuing to work on pampas grass removal and removing the dead trees. Six new pots have been added in front of the pro shop to help keep carts out of the middle area around the restaurant. One staff member resigned after two weeks, and the position will not be refilled until Spring 2012. All the cart paths have been edged. They are still in the process of filling the gravel paths. Commissioner Gaul asked Matt about the kikuyu problem that Councilmember deHaan mentioned at the last City Council meeting. Matt explained that the greens have had kikuyu since Kemper arrived on site over two years ago. It is something that is difficult to remediate without a total renovation. Although a renovation has been planned for two and a half years now, Kemper is still waiting to see what happens regarding a long-term lease. The crew is going to start picking it out and sodding it out so it can't spread. The statement that 60% of the north greens are infested is inaccurate; there are some cup-sized patches on the north course. The south course needs major renovation to remove it. After aerification is completed, and after the holes are mended and healed, they will be able to strip out some of the kikuyu grass with the sod from the nursery green. 4-B Golf Shop and Driving Range activities report by John Vest John Vest stated that September was a good month, even with the two days of minimal rain. Revenue was $373,000, which is up 5% from September 2010. Rounds were up 13% from last year. Promotions are being created for afternoon weekend play. Seven new mats were ordered for the range. October is behind about $20,000 from prior year as of today, but there are still three weekends left in the month. Promotions include the Early Bird Special before 7:00 a.m. for $30. The Monday Night Football special has been going well, as has Wacky Wednesdays for seniors. Tournament revenue for September was over $47,000, and year to date puts us up about $40,000 from 2010. Chair Sullwold asked about the problem with East Bay MUD providing - and charging for - potable water. John is continuing to negotiate with them to resolve the issue. 4C Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich Norma Arnerich thanked Matt Wisely for the condition of the Fry course for the Jack Clark Memorial Tournament. She also stated that even though we had two fewer teams than last year, they made about the same amount of money, which will support five scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each. 2 Golf Commission Minutes - -Tuesday, October 11, 2011 | GolfCommission/2011-10-11.pdf |
