We accomplished a great deal this week. The majority of our time was spent on course clean-up. After a long winter, there is always a tremendous amount of leaves, sticks, and debris to pick up. Greens, tees, fairways, and bunkers were all blown off and cleaned up.

I love this time of year when I can start crossing things off the to-do list. It was a week of "firsts" as greens and fairways were mowed for the first time this season.

You will notice the greens are displaying a nice green hue. Today, I applied the first fungicide application of the year. The fungicide contains a green pigment, which help the plants utilize UV light more efficiently. As a result, photosynthesis is enhanced, producing healthier plants with stronger root systems.
Next week, we will continue our clean-up efforts. We will concentrate on green banks and landing areas. It also looks like we will make the first poa seedhead suppression spray.
I look forward to seeing you on the course this weekend.
