March 15th update

If you noticed the sand on the approaches, its from the aeration and topdressing this week.  During the summer the greens need leached to flush the salts through the soil profile.  This aeration of the approaches helps keep them from getting wet during that time. We will aerate them one more time in June just before leaching begins.  Next week we will be aerating the tees, followed by the green surrounds the following week.

Update for Feb. 25th

This week we are applying fertilizer with pre-emergent to the entire course.  We are also edging, moving, and adding sand to the green side bunkers.  I've added a few tabs at the top of the page for the local weather forecast, a link to the clubs website, and a link to my email if anyone has any questions or comments on the golf course.

The fertilizing of the course took longer than we anticipated.  So, we will finish the fairway aeration next week.

Hydraulic leak on hole #10

We had a hydraulic hose break on our fairway mower on Hole #10.  You will notice a line up the center of the fairway.  The heat from the hydraulic fluid will kill the turf.  It should grow back in in a few weeks.
