It was another good week of golf course clean-up. Drier conditions allowed us to get into some areas we previously had not been able to. We have a handful of out of play areas left and should be done by the end of next week.
The turf is starting to green up and grow. We cut greens, collars, approaches, tees, and fairways multiple times this week.
Other accomplishments this week:
- pressurized irrigation system
- opened course bath rooms
- placed tee markers, ball washers, and coolers
- mowed driving range tee and fairway
- added new sand to 6 bunkers on the short range
We also started construction of a new forward tee on #1. The tee will be larger than the existing one and will provide better playability. We will also be landscaping around the tee which will provide improved aesthetic value. I will post pictures next week as we progress through the project.
It looks like the weather will cooperate early in the week, so spring greens aerification will be on the agenda next week. We hope to complete the greens by Tuesday. Historically, aerification has fallen about this same time each year. The plants should recover fairly quickly and be healed in plenty of time for league play.
