Course Conditions
This month we had our second Turf Advisory Service, On-Site
Visit by the USGA. We were very pleased with their comments and
recommendations. Bud White, with the USGA, also included an informative article
on course closures for maintenance practices. I have also
posted the report on the Golf Course Maint. Blog.
Tree Trimming
We were able to get a contractor to do some major tree
trimming at White Wing on Holes #1, 4, 5, 13 & 18. It has made a big impact
visually and should help with playability as well.
White Wing Greenside
Bunkers
At the end of Oct. we were able to remove 2 – 3 inches of
sand from each of the greenside bunkers. We have gotten the new sand in and
will begin putting it in over the next couple of months.
Overseed/Pre-emerge
All of the overseed on the Par 3’s and Driving Range Tees is
up and going. Pre-emerge was applied and finished up by mid-month on all three
courses. This should provide us with very weed free conditions through the
Spring.
Audubon
Continue to work on the fertilizer reference tables.
Supt. Certification
Currently working on case studies. Registering for the GCSAA
national in Feb. 2014.
Cart Path Repairs
The contractor completed the cart path work at LH #16, #2
and WW #16.
