Winter Preparation

This week we will be combining tee markers on the tees, placing multiple pins in greens and removing trash cans from the course.

Weekly Schedule for November 12-18, 2012

Weather and unforeseen conditions can/will change the schedule.

-Grassing of areas on #1 fairway where rock was removed
-Final mowing of all areas on golf course for the year (greens will continue to be mowed on an as needed basis)
-Leaf clean-up

Nursery

Our nursery located to the left of fairway #1 has recently undergone some changes. At the suggestion of Assistant Superintendent Josh Jobson, we stripped the old turf and regraded the area for better drainage. Then during aerification we piled plugs from the aerification holes on the course at the nursery. Then we rolled, topdressed and watered. What this will give us is turf that is the same as what is on the course so when minor repairs have to be made the difference between the old and new areas will be minimized. 

Here are pictures of the process at the nursery:

This last picture shows how the plugs from the aerification in Mid-October re-grow in the nursery.
