Cart Path Only Holes

The LONG and COLD winter has put the 419 Bermuda Grass way behind schedule!  I talked to a friend in Danville Va. this week and he said his is two to three weeks behind and we a normally two weeks behind him.  The Zoyzia is turning as normal and the other strands of Bermuda are turning well such as the Common and Vamont.

We need to make some changes to help out the fairways and tees. Removing cart path traffic and foot traffic on tees are a MUST.  We will only close two to three holes at a time to help out with the pace of play.  If things start changing soon we will keep the fairways closed during the week and open them up on weekends.  Please help by keeping off the "Cart Path Only" holes.  As for the tees be prepared to play some odd tee locations.

We are planning on competing some cultural practices such as more verti-cuting, aerification, and topdressing.

Thank you for your help,

Kevin

Busy Busy Busy

We have been going a 1000 miles per hour the last couple week with little hope in slowing down in sight.  We have been doing a lot of work on our tee boxes.  So far we have put down out first application of Pre-emergent for Crab and Goose Grass, Verticut all the tees to open up the canopy of the turf, remove thatch and let the sunlight in to warm up the soil a little faster.  Next week we are going to start pushing them hard with fertilizer and put down the second application of Pre-emergent.

We also had to start the dreaded job of mowing this week. We Finished removal of the Juniper behind 8 green and fairway and got those area hyro-seeded as well.  Fertilized Greens this week to get a little deeper green color and start pushing health for upcoming aerifiction in a couple weeks.

We are about to finish spraying all the rough and tee complexes for weeds as well, total about 56 acres sprayed.

Hope to see you soon enjoying all the great work my crew and I are doing to best serve you!  Kevin

We have started the process to pull out all the Junipers that burned in the native area fire on hole eight.  We will finish up this week and will have to re-seed this area very soon as well. Kevin
