We hope you have been on our renovated golf course. It sure looks pretty but boy is it wet.  We received over two inches of rain over the weekend and it is difficult getting a whole lot done.  After a tough winter we are in catch up mode so bear with us as we slog along.  Let's hope we have some drier weather in the days to come for golf and work.

 

The turf is starting to grow in the fairways.  Ah, the smell of fresh cut grass.

 

 

Doug our detail specialist extraordinaire edging sprinklers at the chipping green.

 

 

Julio cutting back clematis vines at the first tee.

 

 

We are sodding weak areas throughout the course.  Here Rony and Juan remove the old turf near the first green.

 

 

Eighteen pallets of sod to lay.

 

 

More sod work.

 

 

This was Monday morning after the heavy rain.  All the bunkers that we rebuilt drained perfectly and were ready for play.

 

 

We took plugs from the driving range tee and made miniature greenhouses to check the health of the bermudagrass...

 

 

After two weeks the turf is coming back to life!

 

 

Soil temperatures are still cold.  This is from the twelfth fairway.  We need soil temperatures to get above fifty degrees to get the turf moving.

 

 

Greens were sprayed on Tuesday to prevent annual bluegrass seed head formation.  Proper timing is absolutely critical with this application. 

 

 

Bluebirds have begun their spring nesting.
