Pavestone Project

The staff just completed a pavestone project on the driving range tee adjacent to the concrete slab that holds the matts.

Before

After

This area receives a lot of foot traffic, and the majority of it is during the winter months when the turf is dormant and not growing.  The worn area always was wet from irrigation in the summer and held water during rain events in the winter.  Now the pavestones will be a much cleaner look and create an area to stand behind the matt.

  

Greening Up

The last three weeks we have seen some unseasonably warm temps, no frost, and some rain.  Compared to last year the golf is considerably greener for the second week of February.

Typically I mow greens a couple times a month to just clean them up in the winter, but we mowed last week and we are going to mow again this weekend because of growth.  We have been rolling once a week, and I am considering putting the first mowing on fairways next week.  That would be Feb 15 this year compared to March 20 last year.
