On Monday we removed the covers from our greens here at HCC. We are very happy with the condition of the greens. Luckily, our timing was just about perfect, the greens did not grow under the covers and they should acclimate themselves to our spring like weather trends very nicely. There is alot going on around the golf course these days, so please continue to check in on the blog to keep up to date.
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.
