On Course Observations

As I traveled around the course this week several items jumped out at me.  Plant health has been outstanding this fall.  The early aerification on greens combined with a healthy dose of foliar nutrients and soil amendments have put the plants in an extremely healthy state.  The plants continue to store energy and the root systems continue to thrive.

 The new forward tees are proceeding nicely.  We peeled back the covers this week to take a peak at the new seedlings.

Over the last few days, leaf colors have changed significantly.  We continue to blow and mulch the leaves on a daily basis to keep the course as playable as possible.

Deep-tine fairway aerification continues and should be completed early next week.  The aerification holes have helped the fairways drain from the rains this week.  The holes will also provide a pathway for roots to travel deep into the soil profile.
