GREENS GREENS AND PROPERTY REPORT Our volunteers (Erman, Mike, Paul, Herb and Don) have verticut our greens 3 times this season with our new machine. This action removes thatch from the surface of the grass for a healthier turf. We are doing our own lawn mower maintenance now and Don, Paul, and Mike will be doing this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. It is very important that the machines are calibrated properly for a good cut. We have had our second application of wetting agent applied to the greens which is suppose to help with our localized dry spots. We are yet to see results. The city laid new turf along the east side of the east green that necessitated much watering, and thanks to Gundrun and Dale for helping out with that. It has a long way to go to look good. You may see Robert changing the numbers and boundary pegs on the greens every week so that we don't get wear marks on the turf. He could always use some help but won't ask. Our original dew remover didn't work so member Herb made a new one that works much better and looks like a work of art hanging on our garage. Thanks to Eric for removing the dew when no one is around. We have gone back to the 3 days a week mowing as mowing every other day didn't show any improved results. PROPERTY The property was spruced up for the Provincials with the painting of the garage and sheds. Thanks to Paul, Don, Dale, and Mike for a great job. New benches should be arriving in 3 or 4 weeks so the few benches that are remaining along the walkway and picnic tables were touched up by yours truly. You will notice our hanging planters have finally arrived. They have been fertilized but need watering every Monday and Friday so please do your part. And we seem to be getting many incidents of high winds lately. The white chairs are really getting a beating as they are tossed all over the place. Please stack them in at least threes so they wont blow away. Thanks to John Adams for anchoring the draw board to its frame so it will no longer blow away and for installing new latches on our equipment sheds. PARKING REMINDER Just a quick reminder that the parking lot repaving and drainage construction will be on-going from <strong>July</strong> 3 until approximately August 15. Although the city has assured us that we will have access to the west parking lot that was repaved a couple years ago, we should not count on that. We will continue to have access to the club through pedestrian access. There is limited street parking in the neighbourhood and as such you may want to consider car pooling, walking, or taking public transit to get to the club. Remember, for evening bowlers, that there will be all the soccer/baseball folks trying to park around the sports field and club as well. And, don’t forget, there is a city-wide bylaw that prohibits parking without a permit for more than 3 hours at any one time. You will want to keep this in mind if you are parking on the side streets. Our patience will be rewarded in the end with more parking spaces that are clearly marked and no more flooding of cars during torrential downpours.
