All in a days work... Monday's are typically the busiest day of the week for golf course maintenance. Closing the course not only provides relief from traffic due to golf carts, but allows our maintenance crew to accomplish much needed tasks - without interfering with member play.
The photos below illustrate a few of the things that we accomplished this past Monday:
 |
| Jacob Heppell checking sand depths in all bunkers |
 |
| Kenneth (Humpty) Thomas using a string trimmer near the parking lot, and other areas that are hard to get to during the week. |
 |
| Kevin Hejl and Rod Ryer fertilizing the sodded areas around bunkers and greens |
 |
| Duane Kemp using the Planet Air to vent the greens. This process helps the greens tolerate the summer heat. |
 |
| Vertical mowing was completed on all tees and fairways by Tuesday morning. |
We did have a hydraulic leak on the front of number 1 green while completing the planet air procedure. We will wait a couple of weeks to determine the extent of the damage before completing repairs.
In addition to the work listed above, we were able to hover mow all bunkers, spot treat several areas for weeds, edge greens, and complete normal mowing.
Unfortunately, technical problems are preventing me from posting more at this time. Please check back later for more updates.
