Course Update

After recieving over 6 inches of rain this week we are finally getting caught up on all of our mowing. Greens, tees, collars, and approaches are all being mowed this morning with fairways, intermediate cut, and rough this afternoon. On Wednesday we were able to aerify the 5th green, and 1,2,3,4,6,9 collars with 1/4 inch tines on a 2x2 inch spacing. These areas were then seeded with bentgrass. It has been two weeks since we last aerfied and seeded the collars with some improvement resulting I will continue this process every two weeks into the fall. The rain gave me the opportunity to shut the irrigation system down completly so we could some leaks that were unable to be repaired while the system was pressurized. It also gave the Fredco Group the opportunity to install the new irrigation at the nursery. Fredco has removed the old material from the nursery and has set the grade for the new surface. 23 tons of a 70% sand, 20% peat moss, and 10% soil mix has been added to the nursery with another 20 tons still to go. Fredco will be finished on Monday with this project. The nursery will be seeded so it will take about four weeks before we will be able to make the first mowing weather permitting.
