New Greens

The three new greens on the North Course are now being mowed at the same height as the other greens and will roll at roughly the same rate as the other greens. All of us are reminded to fix our ball marks and fill divots or replace them. A repaired ball marks on the greens will heal in less than a week while a non-repaired mark may take up to three weeks to recover.
