This morning we will begin the winterization of our irrigation system. This process is rather loud as we are running compressed air through all of our sprinkler heads and irrigation valves. Our staff does their best to avoid startling golfers while turning sprinklers on , but part of this process is automated so please be advised...This also means that the half way house and course washrooms are closed for the season. The weather forecast is exceptional for this time of year. Hopefully, we will see you out here enjoying the last week of golf for the season.
A week has passed since our annual spring greens aeration. We have had a mixed bag of weather, hot, dry, cold, wet and even frost! These conditions make it challenging to aid in healing, but with the more recent consistent warm temperatures we are seeing solid recovery. We were fortunate to have decent weather to complete the process on time, allowing us to fill all the holes created by the 1/2” hollow tines. As there are some minor depressions within some of the holes we will be beginning our bi-weekly topdressing program early next week. Our team is mowing and rolling our greens daily, while slowly lowering our height of cut to our summer norm. We all know that spring cultural practices are not popular among golfers, but these all important tasks are the building blocks for high performance greens conditions throughout the heart of the golf season.
