Since the golf course opened the weather has taken a turn back to some more seasonal temperatures...although off to a quick start, the turf grass has slowed down considerably, almost to the point of frost and cold temperature damage. Rough areas are looking weak...we need some warm temperatures and rain to kick start the turf grass. During the early spring the golf course usually is growing faster than we can mow..but this year with it being very dry and cold night temps, the common areas of traffic are appearing a bit worn for this time of year. We will be going out with some fertilizer into the worn areas to help boost some growth and recovery.
One of the advantages of this weather is the fact that we can perform cultural practices at a very efficient rate...we have already completed our spring deep tine aerification and we will be topdressing our greens again this Friday, prior to the rainy forecast. Other cultural practices will continue throughout the spring, as always we will notify our membership through both the blog and our twitter feed...
