On The Course June 3rd

We are starting to dry out finally and the course is starting to get a little roll in the fairways. Yesterday we finished installing the irrigation loop on #15 and just have to prepare the area for seed. The rough between the cart paths on #15 and #16 will be roped off once we get it seeded and start watering it. We have added a few Spruce trees around tennis courst and will be finishing the soil work on those today. We also planted 3 River Birch behind #8 Green on the Executive Course. Justin finished a sod patch on #16 fairway yesterday and will be working on a couple other spots early next week.



Today we are single cutting and rolling greens. We are taking readings today with our TDR Soil Moisture meter and determining wether the need for some irrigation in necessary. We could be out hand watering some high spots later today if the wind keeps blowing. Fairways, collars and approaches are also being mowed.



If you see some blue flags and stakes around some of the tee areas we are working with Matt Lohmann from Lohmann Golf Designs on some construction drawings for a few tee complexes. We are going to be working on #5 Forward Tee next week and should have it close to being finished by the weekend.

What a great day yesterday was and we were able to get a lot of work done. We have almost all of the rough mowed except for a few spots where it is still a little wet. We have made some progress on the irrigation installation on #15 and #16. We never really know what we have to work with until the area is dug up and we can see what the pipe size is and what type of pipe we are dealing with. We were able to get connected to the main line yesterday and start working on installing irrigation heads. We should be able to finish this project today if the rain stays away.

We are rolling greens today and mowing bunker banks. We are mowing fairways today and have switch out mowing pattern up to striping. If we continue to get more rain we will switch back to the "Masters" or half and half cut.

Justin has been able to get a lot of the thistle sprayed in the native areas and is looking like it is curling up. We will continue to work on some spot spraying this week and next week.

On The Course June 1st

We are pushing forward with some projects this week and will be working on an irrigation installation on #15 and #16. We should get most of the pipe and irrigation heads in the ground today.

We are mowing greens, tees and fairways today. We should have a clear day to get most of our mowing done. There are still a lot of wet areas throughout the golf course that we need to avoid. Please use caution when driving off of the path. Today we will be 90 Degree Rule for carts.

With the strong steady wind yesterday we have some debris throughout the course that we are working on getting cleaned up today. We will be running blowers most of the morning.
