On The Course August 7th

Cristian venting greens on Monday
 Greens are being mowed and rolled today. Yesterday we were able to get several of the greens vented and rolled. We also sprayed greens with our fertilizer package to give them a little perk this week. The weather has cooled off significantly and we will be trying to firm up the golf course. We have a slight chance of rain for tomorrow and very nice weather looking ahead to the weekend.

The crew was able to work on weeding and edging some bunkers yesterday and we will continue that tomorrow as the rest of today is a mowing day. Brandon and Jason are setting the course up for play today. We have had a couple of electrical problems with one of our triplex mowers and Shaun has cleaned out the valve bank solenoids. We will be running around on that mower today to make sure it is functioning properly. Jason fixed a couple irrigation problems on #15 fairway yesterday so please avoid the wet areas on the right side of the fairway.

Venting greens allows air to get into the soil profile. We have vented 13, 14, 16 and 17 greens

We had Sid Stivland out on the course doing a bird survey yesterday. Above is a picture I took of a Kingbird on #16.
