December Rain Totals and Weather
We have had 10 days of recorded rainfall this month, totaling 2.54". For the most part, the rain has been light and steady only getting about 1/3" at a time. Rain fall in this manner allows the course to maximize the rain rather than have have large amounts of runoff which can overwhelm the course.
We welcome the cold storm systems and the rains they brings to Southern California but most importantly, we welcome the snow that these systems bring to the Sierra Nevada's and our local mountains. Without snow pack in our mountains, our drought will likely continue.
As temperatures drop to and below 38 degrees, we will see frost on the course and could experience early morning delays. Please bear with us as we will do our best to get you out on the course. Driving range tee will shift mats during frost delays then return to the grass as temperatures rise.
Have a great new year and see you on the course.

Last Week's Rain
Run off from cart paths flows into our lakes thus reducing the need for us to fill them. With the cost of irrigation water so high, this past storm will help us to reduce water use while still maintaining the great playing conditions.
The forecast calls for a couple of small weather systems in the next couple of weeks, but the current weather is great, so take advantage of this Southern California winter weather.

Pat Dempsey Inducted into the Long Drivers Of America Hall of Fame
Below is the press release announcement and video of his acceptance speech.
Dempsey, Milller Will Be Inducted
Induction ceremonies for the pair are scheduled for Sunday, October 21 in Mesquite, Nev. during the finals of the 2012 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship Powered By Dick's Sporting Goods.
Dempsey, 55, a resident of Sunland, added 2011 RE/MAX world championships in both the Super Seniors (50+) and Grand Champions (55+) Divisions to the Senior (45+) Division title he captured in 2002.
Dempsey's 2011 feat of winning two RE/MAX world titles in the same year matched the benchmark established by LDA Hall of Fame member Bobby Wilson in 2009.
Dempsey made a serious bid to collect an unprecedented three titles at the 2011 RE/MAX world finals, reaching the Senior Division semifinals before bowing to eventual champion David Mobley.
Miller, 53, who lives in Covina, owns two RE/MAX world titles of his own. He claimed the Senior Division crown in 2007, defeating Dempsey in the finals with a then-record 394-plus yards. Miller also collected the Super Seniors crown in 2010, prevailing in a match-play finals showdown with Bobby Wilson, 367-365.

Fall is Here
At this time of the year, soil temperatures start dropping, and as it nears the 70 degrees F mark, germination of Annual blue grass (Poa) is triggered. The trigger of Poa growth is one major reason we at Angeles National do not aerify our Bentgrass greens in the fall. If we were to aerify during the prime growing season for Poa we would open up the turf canopy in our greens, creating a place for poa to germinate and take it's foot hold.
Most golf course in the area have already aerified or they are getting ready to aerify their poa greens. And as you know, this process is very disruptive to golfers but a very much need process for the turf that has been through a long hot summer and now needs to recover by allowing oxygen and nutrients into the root zone so it can start to re-grow the roots it has lost over the summer months.
With respect to course maintenance, we will begin to overseed our tees during the last week in October. This process is non disruptive to play and will give us a nice playing surface for winter months.
Please come on out and enjoy the golf course as we transition into fall.
See you on the course!

Fairway and Rough Aerification
Aerification of the fairway turf helps to control the fairway thatch layer which can be managed by breaking up the cores achieved from aeration. Regular aerification of the fairways and rough will allow for the most consistent playing conditions thought out the year.

"Rough Work"
This summer we have been busy making strides forward in converting our roughs back to Bermudagrass. Bermuda is a warm season grass that is far more tolerant of drought conditions than cool season turf like Ryegrass and Annual bluegrass.
With our water restrictions and sandy soils, Bermuda is our ideal turf for this location! You may have noticed us aerifing, verticutting and drought stressing our roughs. We have been using cultural methods this season to make conditions less than favorable for cool season turf and giving the Bermudagrass a competitive edge during this summer growing season... Mother nature does the rest by adding heat. The work we are doing this season to reintroduce our Bermuda grasses into the rough will go a long way to provide great conditioned and even rough next season.
During this process, you will notice weak/patchy areas in the rough where Bermudagrass is actively growing and trying to fill in. Other areas are marked with white paint for ground under repair. Please allow yourself relief by dropping outside the painted areas.
As you know, Angeles National is still under mandatory water restrictions set forth by the LADWP and we will continue to do our part in conserving this precious resource.
The greens are rolling, the course is playing great, firm, and fast. See you on the course.

Titleist 2 makes a 1
James carried his tee shot onto the middle of the green, the ball released, and rolled a few yards into the cup for a 1. Everyone knew it would be close when it was in the air and speculated that it might go in. But, to get to the green and see his ball at the bottom of the cup, was amazing.
Congratulations James to a truly remarkable shot.

Aeration
It is that time of year again when it is necessary that we aerate our greens. Aeration is a very important component of turf health and maintaining consistent and playable putting surfaces.
Aeration is essential to make the turf as healthy as possible, especially going into a dry summer, while promoting deeper, healthier roots, allowing them to draw water from deeper in the soil reservoir. Warm and cool season grasses benefit form spring aeration and is our most effective tool at to ensure the rootzone remains capable of supporting healthy turf.
