Addie Cup

The Addie Cup was played on 11 clay courts on May 29 and 30, 2008. Thanks to the LCC crew for the 5:00 am start and having all the clay courts in great condition for 8:00 am.

Grass Court Line Improvement

Semi permanent tubes have been put in the ground at the end of each grass court line. Nails and string can then be installed each time a court line is painted, ensuring a straight, perfectly measured line throughout the season.

Employee of the Month

Employee of the month - The John Deere Pro Gator Utility Vehicle. It carried 46 tons of Har Tru, topdressed and sprayed the grass courts and hauled various bulky items. What a month!

Grass Court Equipment

Last week we had 2 inches of rain. The grass grew quickly and the grass courts needed mowing. The problem was it was cold and wet and using our riding mower would stress the turf. The solution. Use the walk behind greens mower that is new for 2008.

It is light and has no wheels that stress the turf.

Less stress from machinery equals healthier turf. Here are some healthy 6 inch roots that filled an aeration hole. The deeper the roots the better and this is deep for such low cut grass!
