Camp SeaCliff

We are starting to mow in the Jr. Camp teaching area to the right of 9 green and 1 tees. This area will be utilized by the pro-shop staff throughout the summer for various teaching activities.

Moving Water

We are in the process of moving a few sprinklers that are just inside the naturalized area on 3/4 so that the in-play turf areas receive adequate irrigation.

The sprinkle pictured below had been 12-15 feet inside the naturalized area behind 3 green. In the near future this sprinkler will be converted to a part circle and will irrigate only the In-play area.

Busy morning…

It is day two of the SeaCliff Member-Member and we are busy getting the course prepped for today’s event.

Shown in this photo are several of the tasks being performed this morning, including double cutting greens, changing cups and rolling greens.

We were also here until 6:30 last might mowing fairways, roughs, tees and approaches.

Best if luck to all participants!

Remember when…

Let’s see if we can stir up some memories of our more tenured Members.  In an attempt to track down any historical photos of SeaCliff, I was able to come across these from a gentleman in the Huntington Beach Historical Society that he was kind enough to share.

If anyone has any leads on other photos, I would love to be able to include them in our library.

Enjoy the walk down memory lane…

Who…Who…dat?

I just wanted to share a some photos of the owls that were hanging out in the large eucalyptus trees to the left of #1 tees the other day.  I saw them swoop in early in the morning and they were there snoozing most of the day.

Cleaning up the view…

The eighth hole has been home to a collection of dead eucalyptus trees for quite some time now.  We recently have completed the removal of these trees along with one pine tree to the right of the green and the trimming of several other pine trees in the area.  This much needed maintenance has significantly improved the quality of the hole and in time will help to improve turf quality around the green.
