Course Update

     It has been a while since my last post.  We have been very busy mowing the golf course.  Everything is a head of schedule by at least 2 to 3 weeks.  We have already mowed our Fairways and Tee's twice. That is unheard of this time of year.  Dan has been busy spraying for Broadleaf weeds.  We have been sodding some Turf Type Tall Fescue around our greens surrounds.  Last summer we lost quite a bit of turf around some of our greens.  We did some sodding last fall but only sodded the areas that had died.  We finished the rest of the greens so we have a more uniform look.  Holes 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 were all done.  We also had to fix a clogged drain on # 2.  Trees are nice but they can cause problems with drainage and turfgrass health.  This time  the Hackberry tree to the west of # 2 bunker clogged up the drain line. We replace the drain line and sodded the area.  The new construction is coming along.  The Zoysia grass is a little behind but it is rooting and starting to green up.  The Fescue is doing really well.  It looks like we will have all new construction open for play by May 1st.  Course is in great shape.  I hope you all can take advantage of the good weather and come out to the Club for some Golf or relax at the clubhouse for some drinks and great food.
