All in a MONDAY's work.....
Mondays are one of our busiest and most critical maintenance days days for completing maintenance work on the course. Yesterday was our first "closed" day in about three weeks, and with more rain in the forecast - we needed to make the most out of this opportunity and accomplish as much as possible. The crew did a great job completing the items below and more:
 |
| Anthony Howse treats the practice putting green on Monday with preventative herbicide. Marking flags were used in order to prevent "burning" and ensure the application was as accurate as possible. |
 |
| All greens were lightly top-dressed and aerated. |
 |
| Root pruning was completed yesterday on the practice green and holes 10-13. All ares are now complete. |
 |
| Practice tees, par 3s, and landing areas were top-dressed and seeded. . |
Additional items completed yesterday included:
- Mow all tees and fairways
- Mow all front nine roughs
- Adjust sprinkler heads on practice greens
- Mow clubhouse lawns and pool area
- Flower bed work
A few items we will be working for the
remainder of this week include:
