The burm that divides the 3 par 15th hole and the maintenance facility just got a face lift.  All the dying redwoods that were brought down during a tree company's last visit were mulched and stockpiled near the shop.  It took us about 2.5 hours and 5 staff members to finish the whole stretch.  The color provides a nice contrast and at 6-8 inches thick, we won't be spraying for weeds any time soon.

I was checking out the fairway surface on #2 and needed a golf ball to test a few lies against the solid tine aerification we just preformed.  I asked Manuel if he had a golf ball and he said, "I know where one is."  He led me to a nest near the lake and a Pro V that looked a little out of place.  I used it for my tests and returned it for hatching.

Stockton Golf and Country Club has another beautiful day to celebrate freedom and the efforts of our veterans.  While you enjoy the holiday with your family with a BBQ or a round of golf, remember to give thanks to those who gave so much for us.
