Course Maintenance Update

Monday morning was the first frost of the year. The crew was delayed for about an hour before we could start mowing.

The rough cut is now back under control. The rainfall put us behind and it took a few days to get caught back up.

The damaged fairway areas are slowly starting to creep back in and recover from the damage. There is also plenty of seed that has germinated over the past week. The growing conditions have been good and the areas are healing.

Monday we spread fertilizer on all the fairways and the greens. This will help push growth and speed recovery from aerification. The fairways will be closed to cart traffic for 2 days following this fertilizer application.

The seeding of 16 fairway has started and we will leave this hole closed to cart traffic until we get a nice stand of grass growing again.

We hope to begin tee aerification this week, with the aerification of the fairways starting the following week. The weather looks great in the extended forecast so we hope to be able to achieve a great deal in that time frame.
