Course Update

Somebody must sure be looking out for us because every time the course gets a little too dry we get a nice soaking rain.  That is no different today, because we needed the almost .6" of rain we received a short time ago with potentially severe storms looming for later this afternoon.  As I'm sure many of you have heard we lost two employees last week, which means it's just myself, Bob, and Angel to carry the load.  I'm proud as hell of these guys because they've worked their tails off the past week and it has showed, in my opinion the golf course looks just as good as when we were fully staffed. So, kudos to them.  This past monday the greens were dryjected with the soil amendment profile. The greens were brushed and rolled followed by a mow the next day.  This is a great process that allows the greens to breathe while also creating channels for the roots to shoot down.  A huge benefit is that the entire process is quick and minimally invasive to play.  We will be core aerating the greens on Sept. 19th and 20th, followed by fairway aerification Oct. 16th and finally by a deep tine aeration on November 20th.

#3 green after the green has been brushed, you can hardly tell anything was done at all.
