Golf
Maintenance FYI
·
The
golf course continues to look great with the greens in superb condition. The
weather has been very surprising for this time of year with the lack of rain.
We only experienced a ½ inch of rain for the month! That is by far the driest
September on record for Copperleaf. Thankfully our lakes have been full since
May and so our water supply is satisfactory at the moment. That being said, it
is possible that we will not see substantial rain for many months of which ‘will’
be of great concern. Hopefully by me writing this, the rain gods will surprise
us and deliver rain when needed – at night!
·
Plant
and tree trimming continued this week throughout the golf course and will be
completed next week. Several trees throughout the Community have had branches
removed to improve their appearance and structural strength.
·
Common
ground plant material will start to be trimmed on Tuesday around the Clubhouse
and Common Grounds in preparation for the annual mulch pine straw application
scheduled for mid-November.
·
The
tennis courts had over 2 tons of new clay added to their surface in preparation
for increased tennis play and to replenish the material that gets washed away
during heavy rain events. The courts are scheduled to be completely resurfaced
in September of 2020.
·
The
golf course bathrooms had the irrigation improved around the surrounding garden
beds this week. New plant material will soon be ordered and installed to
enhance these areas. Thank you to Luis Altuzar and Silvestre Flores for their
tireless work digging through the soil and tree roots to add new pipe and
sprinklers.
·
The
paver installation around the decorative clock was completed this week as well as the plant
bed for the annual flowers. The clock is scheduled to be installed on Wednesday, October
16 and will complete the project.

Not the clock I was hoping for??

The
Royal Palms at the front entrance were trimmed this week not only to clean them
up but to prepare them for the decorative Christmas lights that will soon be
installed. Compliments to Ricardo Gomez and David Forrey for their work high up
on the tree lift.

Thanks
to David Forrey and Luis Altuzar for helping with the security scanner at the
front entrance. A new wire was installed that has eliminated the issue with the
scanner not reading bar codes. Thanks to Ray Houle for identifying the problem
and coming up with the fix.

All
fire hydrant reflectors were replaced throughout the community this week.
Thanks to Estero Fire Rescue for following through from our communication a
month ago. I am now waiting on BSU to refurbish the fire hydrants by the end of
the year.
·
I
was able to receive a $4,000 credit from BSU after following up with them
regarding water leaks experienced at the golf course bathrooms. Just goes to
show you never know until you ask!
·
I
will be enjoying some time off next week. David Forrey and the leadership group
have everything scheduled in my absence and I look forward to not worrying
about Copperleaf for the next 7 days 😊
