The golf boom post 2020 has been noticed by none quite as much as the maintenance staff at most municipal golf courses. The increased round count and subsequent revenue each season has brought many opportunities for innovation to municipal course that just wasn't possible pre 2020. At Swope Memorial we continue to be innovative in creating not only a better experience for our golfers but also finding ways to do more with the resources we are given.
One innovation we added to the course at the tail end of the 2022 season that greatly improved our season long course conditions was the temporary par 3 tee boxes. These tee boxes use an artificial playing surface that is not affected by the colder temperatures like our zoyzia tee boxes are in the winter. The temporary tee's along with with winter covers allowed our par 3 tee's to come out of the winter with much more viable turf. In turn this created much better playing conditions for our golfers during the warmer months.
With the overwhelming success the temporary tee's had we will again add these back to our par 3 holes for the 2023-2024 winter. We appreciate all of you that are on board with the innovations and have seen value in the delayed gratification that comes with the temporary tee's.
From all of us at Swope Memorial Golf Course we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
