Week of 10/25/2010

Looks like we are in for a nice spell of weather this week with a potential cold front rolling through the latter half of the week. 

We're taking the opportunity to do a light verti-cutting on the greens to remove a little thatch and stand the plants up a bit.  We are also trying to cut some of the runners that have shown up on some greens that have grown above the plants instead of staying in the canopy.

The whole process turned out nicely and we may do it one more time if the warm weather returns and stays around.  We are still working on removing sick and dead trees throughout the golf course as well as adding sand to bunkers, edging cart paths, late season weed control, and getting ready for the overseed next month. 

  

Overseed is coming!

Overseed is scheduled for the golf course on Monday, November 1.  The golf course will be closed that day.  In addition we will restrict cart traffic to the path only for several days following overseeding to prevent tracking the seed into the roughs.  We will be overseeding the fairways, par 3 tees, and the driving range this year.  Our watering schedule is yet to be determined, but should not affect you as you play the golf course.

We have lots of work planned this winter including tree removals, re-opening a tee on #14, edging paths, and hopefully building a nursery green.

I hope to do a better job keeping this up to date for you this year and will work to make a more consistent update throughout the winter.
