Grounds Report

Football is in the air! The Club was honored to host the CSU Football team for lunch on Sunday, August 18th. The coaches requested a pasta buffet and plenty of liquids for the players, and Chef Greg and his team took plenty of time to get everything ready. The players and coaches totaled just over 150 people. Here are some fun facts on the amount of food that was prepared and served to them… • 40 lbs. of pasta noodles • 40 lbs. of Italian sausage • 40 lbs. of meatballs • 150 chicken breasts • 300 cookies We will be hosting our own club tailgate party on Friday night, October 18th, before the Wyoming game. Please join us for a cookout, fun games, and live entertainment in the Club’s parking lot. There will also be a contest for the most spirited family! Go Rams! Now that the kids are back in school, our staff will review the past camp season and start to plan for next year. I am ever-impressed with the quality of the instructors and coaches that we have, and with their experience and passion for coaching and teaching your children there is no better place in the summer for kids to be. We take this responsibility very seriously and will continue to bring new, innovative and fun programs to our families. With the great response we received from the membership for Easy Street Thursday’s, we bring you Easy Street 2.0…a new menu and slightly different venue will keep Thursday evenings at the Club fresh and fun. We will continue this throughout the fall and appreciate your support of this casual, family-friendly dining option. Last, but certainly not least, congratulations to our USTA 18+ Women’s 2.5 Tennis team for winning the Colorado District Championship! We are very proud to have you represent the Fort Collins Country Club! This is a very exciting time and our entire staff appreciates the sense of community that is created from all of our member’s support. I look forward to seeing you at the Club!
As the season slowly winds down, I would like to thank the membership for all their support this season! We have made a lot of strides to make the club more appealing and professional, as well as making the course a competitive yet enjoyable every day course. The ability to bring in high profile tournaments like the U.S. AM Qualifier and CSU, continues to showcase the course to multiple playing abilities. We have completed aerification of the greens, tees, approaches and fairways. With the new deep tine aerifier we also deep tined all par 3 tees and both driving ranges. The average depth of the deep tine is about 12’’. This process not only shatters the hard pan layer in the soil but also allows the sand to fill deep holes that will give the plant’s root system more stability. It reduces compaction, allows water to penetrate through the soil, creates more air movement in the pockets, and results in improved uptake of nutrients. A struggle in the past has been push cart and golf cart traffic on the course ???\? ?H[?H[?? H???\? \?? H ?X\??] ?[?X??YH]X?[?H[\?[? ] ?H[XZ?H[?Y??? ?[?]? ?\?H ?H ?]?H? ?[?]\?\? ?XZ[?Z[?
