All
three courses are doing well and we hope to have a good transition this year
starting next month depending on the temperatures. The only negative that we
have really been dealing with has been the ryegrass and poa annua on the White
Wing greens. In particular the practice greens and the first few greens on the
back nine. Unfortunately the post emergent herbicides that we have been applying
have not been as effective as usual due to the low temperatures and from what
we are hearing from the USGA poa annua’s ability to build up a tolerance to
certain herbicides. We have made additional applications since the weather has
warmed up and we are now starting to see wilting and yellowing of the winter
weeds. As the temperatures start to get warmer and stay warmer over the next
couple of months the poa annua will start to go away due to its intolerance of
the hotter weather.
White Wing Greenside Bunkers
The
White Wing Greenside Bunkers are still being worked on and we have almost
completed removing all of the old sand out of the bunkers. We have started to
fill the bunkers on the front nine and will be closed the next two Mondays to
help expedite the process.
