Green Status Update

Monday's warmer weather allowed us to remove the covers and spray the greens with some fertilizer and fungicide.  We saw some recovery on many of the green.  Several of the green that weren't completely damaged have started to green up.  Unfortunately, with the cold nighttime temperatures we haven't seen any seed germination from the seed that was planted last week.  Looking at the forecast we will keep the covers on the greens until at least Friday.  We will remove the covers on Friday and apply more fertilizer and reevaluate.  As for when we will reopen some greens on the Old Course, I will have a better answer for you on Friday after we get a chance to reevaluate.
#1 Green has bounced back quite well.  We are looking forward to
seeing what it looks like on Friday.

#10 Continue to be one of our most severe green.  We are going to need seed
germination for this green to recover.

The Putting Green is showing sign of recovery but also feel
we are going to need seed germination

# 7 Green is recovering well also.  This green has been seeded but we are
getting recovery from the existing damaged Poa Annua.

  1. Hello, Gregory.

    Scranton is in good hands with you at the helm. We're hoping to get down to see you in July. Keep the faith and you'll right the ship.

  2. Thanks Ron. These Walter Travis Greens are an Architectural Masterpiece but an Agronomic headache.
