The course is in good shape heading in to the unofficial start of the summer season, Memorial Day weekend. The cool and dry temperatures have the course playing firm so expect the ball to run out a bit in the fairways. We had Helena Chemical at MGC this week with their Rx360 Veris machine that sampled the nutrients in all the fairways using GPS and Veris technology. Helena will now provide us with a GPS map of all the different nutrients found in the fairways. The goal here is to combine this technology with our traditional soil testing and only apply nutrients where they are needed. Our mechanic was also busy this week grinding all the reels on our mowing equipment to be ready for the busy weekend. The mowers are checked and adjusted on a daily basis and are ground when small adjustments no longer provide a sharp cut.
The American flags will be on the flag sticks for Monday along with stands to hold the flags next to the greens. Please do not put the flag stick on the ground while the American flags are on them. Our club will be celebrating the weekend with golf and a BBQ but lets not forget what this weekend is all about, those that fight for our freedom so lets show them some respect and keep the flags off the turf. The Junior Tee Markers are now out on the golf course, so bring the kids and play a round.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and can get out to MGC for some part of it, hopefully with the family.
