Things have been very busy out on the course, hence the delay in updating the blog. Included are just a few projects and pictures that we have been working on over the last few weeks.
With all of the rain and wind we have received during the Spring season, the pine tree that was on #6 about 150 yards out severely fractured and was leaning in a manner that was extremely unsafe. The tree was cut down and removed and we will remove the stump and grass this area in the near future.
The greens have been on a weekly schedule of either spiking or needle-tining in order to vent the greens. These practices allow the greens to breath by reducing the water tension on the surface due to all of the rain we have received. The following picture shows Hunter mowing #17 green immediately after the green has been needle-tined. The right half of the green has already been mowed and the left half still needs to be mowed. As the picture indicates, mowing right after venting the greens heals the holes and eliminates any disturbance.
We hope you all are enjoying the golf course and we look forward to seeing you all out there.
