Course Update 9/30/21
Greens have healed from the DryJect aeration 3 weeks ago and fairways are slowly improving after being aerified 1 week ago. The cool, dry weather and shorter days has slowed turf growth and allowed the maintenance staff to address some projects in addition to regular mowing tasks. We try to have all our projects completed in October so we can focus on leaf cleanup and other late fall tasks in November.
Lakes #9 green this morning |
Fairways one week post aerification |
Grove #6 fairway this morning |
The staff started sodding a few bare areas in fairways this week. This is Grove #7 looking back at the tees. |
