It is a great time of year. Course conditions are typically good, there's few turf pests to be concerned about, and the trees look beautiful as the leaves change color. However, we all know what eventually happens to all of those pretty leaves--they end up on the ground.

While Laurel Creek definitely wouldn't be considered a parkland style of golf course, we do have plenty of large trees around the Clubhouse, as well as trees lining half of the holes on the course: #8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. And once all of those leaves start coming down, it's a full time job to keep up with them.

This week we had several employees doing nothing but leaf removal. At a time of the year when our staff size is much less than during the summer, it can be difficult to keep up with the cleanup.
