2016 PGA Golf Day- 100 Holes of Golf event at Oxmoor CC benefitting The Food Literacy Project at Oxmoor Farm
Dear Friends,
We, the Golf Professional staff at Oxmoor CC, have committed to playing 100 holes of golf in one day. Our goal is to raise money for Kentucky PGA REACH initiatives and The Food Literacy Project at Oxmoor Farm. Our fun challenge will take place on Friday September 16th. Following play that day we will also be hosting a "Farm to Table" wine dinner for members & guests featuring items provided by Oxmoor Farm, a portion of those proceeds will be donated to PGA Golf Day as well.
I have pledged $1 per hole ($100) and hope you can follow my lead. Your pledge of $1 or $2 per hole would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way toward a great cause. If you want to donate a specific dollar amount, you can do that as well.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. All proceeds will benefit the Kentucky PGA REACH initiatives of the Kentucky Golf Foundation and The Food Literacy Project at Oxmoor Farm. You will receive a receipt immediately upon making your contribution that is tax deductible.

Many thanks for your support - and do not forget to forward this to anyone you think might want to donate as well!
Thank you so much for helping raise as much money for these two very worthy causes,

Golf Course Update:
A couple months ago we experienced a disease known as Leaf Spot, bipolaris, on 18 green. After the heavy rainfall and humidity of the summer, we are now seeing this same disease throughout the rest of the course. We are well applied with treatments to the greens and tees, but I feel it may get worse before it gets better just as 18 did. I have never seen this disease in my 17 years at Oxmoor, so we have never treated for it prior. As I said, we are well protected now with fungicides and we are not the only course experiencing this disease. It is running rampant across the state. Aerification, verticutting and topdressing are a cultural practice used to prevent this disease. To aid in healing of these areas, we will be verticutting and topdressing which will be completed this afternoon. Greens will be bumpy and slow, but if we want to keep them alive this is a necessity. Depending on how quick recovery is, we will likely do this again in two weeks and beginning September 13th we will be core aerifying the greens. In mid-October we will perform a second core aerification followed by tee and fairway aerification to hopeful prevent any further disease and ultimately have a healthier root system and turf on our putting greens.
Thanks
