Golf Course Update

As I write this blog entry, the course looks like it is located in London, England. We expect the fog to burn off  by noon. We are busy rolling greens, weeding bunkers, spraying fertilizer, sweeping the rough, cleaning up stump grindings, weeding flower beds and cutting some new cups. The fairways aerification was completed on Monday. Next few days will center on fertilizing as much of the course that we can, weather dependent. The fertilizer will help to establish the root system and begin the recovery process from aerification. As for projects, cart path work started on the 18th yesterday and then the contractor will be fixing the cart path by 5 green and extending the path on 9.
I can't thank the winter Grounds Maintenance Staff (all 6 of them!) enough for their hard work. With all the warm weather, our work load has doubled. They have really pushed hard to deliver the best course they can. We are counting down the days until the H2B Visa employees come back on April 2 to help them push the course conditions to the next level. We hope to see on the course.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.

Golf Course Update (Groundhog Day Version)

Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
