On Monday we will be starting the process of Superjecting our fairways. This is a very non-disruptive process that will take just a few days to complete. We planned on verticutting our fairways this week, but have postponed it due to the extensive bunker work (labour) that is required as a result of last week's storms. The Superject relieves compaction and allows some air movement down to the root zone.
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.
