Come by the Pro Shop soon and introduce yourself.

From the Course Superintendent

Greetings All, I sincerely hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. The past month we completed a couple of irrigation projects that will have a big impact on our turf next summer.

This coming month, we will be doing a drainage project along with cutting down a few trees to help improve the turf in a few areas. Please continue to fix ball marks and rake the bunkers. Thank you,
Pat

Hole in One Club

The elusive Hole in One wasn’t so elusive for Felix Nunley on hole # 11. Way to go Felix!!

Willowbrook Ladies

The Willowbrook Ladies Golf Group has chosen a service project for the holidays. While many of us are blessed to enjoy life’s basic needs, unfortunately there are some in our community who struggle to meet their basic needs including food. The Storehouse Food Pantry has a mission to alleviate food insecurity for residents in Manchester and the surrounding areas. The need is surely to increase as we approach the holidays and the end of the year.

We have a chance to make a difference for so many of our neighbors who may be struggling. Your donation can have a tangible impact on the work being done by The Storehouse Food Pantry. Every donation has a positive impact on our community.

Start this holiday season off by doing something that will make you feel good about yourself and making this world a better place. Buy a little extra when at the store, or forgo a coffee or other treat so that it can go towards this great cause.

A donation box will be set up in the Pro Shop until December 15th. Your participation is greatly needed and will be greatly appreciated!

“MERRY CHRISTMAS”

Remember “Jesus Christ” is the reason we celebrate this season! May you and your family be Blessed with health, peace and happiness!

Thank you for allowing us to serve you this year and we look forward to seeing you, soon!

Greetings

Thank you for your continued patience with our greens that have struggled.  We have done some aggressive agronomical procedures to resolve the problems with the affected greens and we hope to have them in great condition soon.

On another note, we have begun some of our fall/winter projects including stump grinding, tree trimming, tree removal, and we are about to start irrigation expansion on a few holes.

Please continue to fix ball marks on greens and divots in the fairways and rake your footprints out of bunkers.

Greetings from the Superintendent

Greetings to all our members and guests. As the summer comes to a close and the fall season is upon us, I would like to share my thoughts on the course, as well as some improvements in the plans for this fall and winter. We’ve had very good goose grass control throughout the course, especially in the greens. The challenge we are working on now is the thinning in areas on 2, 12 and 13. I believe there are 4 factors that can cause this, and I’m going to work on each one to find the solution. The reason they are thinning is a shallow root system, and they struggle during the heat of the summer. We are exploring the drainage, nematodes, soil composition, and airflow. I’m certain we will find a solution! Upcoming improvements to the course will include an expansion of irrigation on holes 13 and 16, along with some tree removal including the tree on 15 fairway. We also are planning a new red tee on 5, which may make some players very happy. I appreciate the support from David and Julie as we share a mutual vision to make WillowBrook the best it can be.
