Green's Recovery

Well we have been able to get a decent cut on the greens for the first time since aerification.  Yesterdays rain has helped with recovery.  We will be mowing and rolling greens over the weekend and hope to have things back to normal by the middle of next week.

Aerification complete



Today we completed the aerification process.  All greens were fertilized and will be mowed tomorrow afternoon.  375 ton of sand was applied this week to the fairways.

Aerification Begins

On Sunday evening the Green Department will begin our aerification process.  We will begin greens on Sunday night and will finish them on Monday.  A contractor will be here to complete the fairways on Monday morning.  We will also be sand topdressing our fairways.  The entire process should take about three to four days to complete and there may be some temporary hole closures to allow us to complete the process as quickly as possible.  We have increased the amount of fertilizer on the greens and reduced the amount of growth regulator this week to aide in a quick recovery.  This will result in slower than normal green speeds this weekend.
