Our first week with partial close closure on Monday was a great success.  This promises to be a great help in keeping the course in better shape.  On Monday we worked on four specific projects without interruption.  We sprayed the fairways with a fungicide and growth regulator that had to be delayed due to cold.  (We would not have been able to complete this task if there had been normal play).  In addition we were able to repair nearly all the divots in the fairways.  The entire club grounds was aerated and prepared for overseeding as well.  Lastly we had a crew prepping for sod which was delivered and installed on Wednesday/Thursday.  Thank you!  The course and greens staff really appreciate it!

 

The soil is still quite cold but changes are coming soon.  This is from Wednesday afternoon.  We had three heavy frosts this week.

 

 

Monday morning Josh applying a fungicide and growth regulator to fairways with Tano in training.  With the course closed we were able to train him rather than use his labor on course prep.

 

 

Practice bunker prepared for sod installation on Wednesday.

 

 

What a nice job!

 

 

Richard watering freshly laid sod.  We are hoping for some rain Friday (can't believe I said that).

 

 

Removing the flower bed at nine tee and relocating the tee sign before sodding.

 

 

The crew raising and lowering rough areas by the 13th green to divert storm water into a drain inlet rather than have it travel across the 12th fairway. 

 

 

Seeding around the club grounds.  Please try and stay off these areas so the seedlings can get established.

 

 

Our wildflowers are starting to take off on the third hole!
