November Update

We are in full fall operation now with the leaves falling and frost delays some mornings. Leaves will be the priority now that turf growth has slowed down. We are continuing to vent the greens on a weekly basis, these tiny 5mm holes create air spaces in the soil profile that allow the roots areas to grow. Do not be concerned that this will affect green speed as they have been over 11 the past 10 days. We are continuing to brush mow the greens reducing longer blades of grass producing healthier more consistent surfaces. Final applications of fertilizer being applied to greens and tees building carbohydrate reserves in the plant during the fall months producing roots and preparing us for 2017. Topdressing of tees and approaches will continue through the fall into the early winter to help firm these surfaces ahead of next season. The approval to install new lights on the entrance columns was given by the board so we will be installing the new wiring and fixtures this month.

Fall is a great time of year for turf
