We are Getting There

11's Green 7-22-13



16's Approach 7-19-13

The healing of the greens is well underway and mostly their recovery is complete.  We are still working on the newly sodded areas to deal the thatch and the slight unevenness.  But other the middle of 12 & 13, and the right lower side of 11 our recovery is complete.

However, the approaches have recently been experiencing the death of the ryegrass leaving vast voids where the bermudagrass must fill back in.  This week our focus is to get the green speed back but our eyes are on the horizon to deal with the approaches very soon.  Sadly, the bunker reconstruction project takes the back seat again to improve the experience of our summer members given our limited resources.

Today, we are fertilizing light the approaches and fairways for the first time since February to aid in their recovery.  Additionally, we have sprayed the greens with a wetting agent and BTa control chemical, and fertilized them with potassium too.  We will be this afternoon finishing the spot aerification of the greens by completing 4 and 12 greens.
