Week of June 13th

 

It was another great week for our maintenance team.  We were able to get through all of our normal weekly maintenance, perform some much needed cultural practices and even get some other tasks knocked off the list.  

We started off the week aerating greens.  We used 1/4" inch solid tines on all 18 greens on the course and used 1/4" coring tines on the new practice green.  The crew did an amazing job knocking out all the greens Monday morning.  

Right after the greens were punched we applied wetting agent, our first summer soil spray and watered all the products in.  

Also in the beginning of the week we had our tree company come in to remove and limb up some trees along the fence on holes 2 and 4.  They were also able to limb the tree left of #8 green.  

Between the rain showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday the crew was able to punch all the new fairway and approach expansions.  Also the weekly irrigation leak was repaired. (We should just put irrigation repairs on the weekly maintenance schedule from now on.) 

This week we completed our first round of cultural practices on the new tee on the short game area.  Here is Edwin verti-cutting in 2 directions.  Following the verti-cut we circle mowed the area and applied fertilizer to get ready for the warmer temps.  

Also this week the team was able to repair some old drainage on hole #18 where the pipes and catch basins were failing.  The rest of the week we will be concentrating on preparing the golf course for a great upcoming Father's Day Weekend.  Hope to see everyone at the club.
