August was a long, hot, humid, and crazy month. It started with Member-Guest and kept rolling from there. We had a CMGA tournament, had the Lady Sandtrappers and Southeastern Seniors out, and will end leading into Labor Day. Fortunately, September is here again and with it comes the end of a long season.

The Maintenance team had a lot going on last month and that only continues for us in September. August saw us spraying for weeds, army worms, and working our way through too many machine issues. Now that all that is finally behind us (all equipment has been repaired) we can start this month fresh. We still have our normal mowing procedures in place, but things will begin to slow down a bit by the end of the coming month. 

I will be out spraying for weeds again as well as putting out the winter pre emergent. The greens have several spray applications that will set them up for the arrival of cooler temperatures. We only have a couple of events to work toward, with the George Williams Invitational closing out September. 

On a final note, Coharie Country Club was voted the best golf course in Sampson County by the Sampson Independent. This is something I personally take immense pride in, as it shows how much we are moving forward. The Turf Team will be doing all we can to continue this upward trend.

Sincerely,

Kevin McCamy, GCS
