Day two of our second, week-long

The second #oldefloridagolfclub summer closure is off to a great start The Graden’s were on the approaches for a double vertical mowing and the #ToroGolf Triflex’s were on the greens for a 2x “back-track”(3-9 & 6-12) grooming to reduce “leaf orientation” #swfl #golf #GCSAA #FGCSA
