As we start the month of March, the plugging of poa annua continues. For last few days, the Assistant Superintendents have been taking bentgrass plugs from the turf nursery and replacing any poa on the green surface. We have a very low population of poa (which is a weed) but we have to try to keep it all out. The majority of poa that germinates is a result of unfixed ball marks. I can not stress it enough that we need everyone to fix ball marks. Thanks for helping!
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!
