Maintenance Mondays

We are very fortunate to have the course closed until 11 AM on Mondays so our agronomy team can do more in depth cultivation and spraying practices.  Yesterday was no different as we sprayed greens 2 different times, because there were a couple products that were not compatible with each other so I put them in different tank mixes.

We sprayed weeds in the native grass areas.

We topdressed approaches and brushed it in.  This topdressing of sand over the top of the native soil that we have done for a couple years now has really firmed up our approaches, made them ultra smooth, and has allowed us to really lower the height of cut, giving us the firm dense areas that we can now putt off of.

Along with these practices, we did all of our regular mowing and maintenance because we were able to keep the course closed until 11.
