| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the maintenance and legal processes regarding the Oak Lane Golf and Country Club's closing, subsequent selling, and re-opening through the experiences of course superintendent Clay Pedigo. Explains how a series of severe droughts, state-mandated water restrictions, and heavily accruing debt forced the course to close and lay off its staff. Details the auctioning of the club owned land in an attempt to preserve the course, and the maintenance performed by Pedigo in order to transform the course to decent conditions. Describes the lack of necessary chemical fertilizers and pesticides, mowers, and irrigation equipment to make the course appear functional, and the alternative minimal procedures Pedigo had to employ. Concludes that Joseph DiNatale, owner of the Tradition Golf Club in Wallingford, Connecticut, purchased the course and restored it to its previous state. |
