New Club

This is the Boathouse on Martha's Vineyard. Former LCC grounds employee Nate Salmore is the grounds superintendent at this new tennis club. You can see more of Nate's work by clicking on Boathouse in this blogs links section.

Topdressing

Topdressing of grass courts at Wimbledon and LCC. They look very much alike in coverage.

The same soil that is below ground is spread on top. This helps thatch breakdown, smoothes the court and helps with drainage. About an 1/8 of an inch of soil is added each topdressing event. Most of the courts at LCC have had this done twice this September.

Outing Week

There was an outing every day this week using the 13 grass courts in front of the clubhouse. The courts are wearing well with the large amount of play they have been getting from these events and member play.

Wimbledon

I am back from Wimbledon- a great trip! Learned about so much it can't all be put on the blog. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to share all my pictures and stories to the membership. Above are pictures of Centre Court and the renovation of a court with Neil, the Deputy Groundsman.
