I am going to approach the season the same as last year, and due to our budget reductions in these trying times for all of golf, I am going to utilize a very small staff in the spring and fall months of March/April and Oct/Nov. This will allow me to operate with our typical size staff in the summer months, producing the great conditioned product that we all have become accustomed too during our heavy play prime time of the season.
In the shoulder months with the smaller staff, it will mean that it will take as a little longer to get around to everything. As you have seen there are weeds coming on in the golf course and the landscape beds need some weed attention. Also, fairways and rough are not being mowed quit as frequent as the summer months. We are still getting to all of these items, it just may not be as frequent and detailed as our normal maintenance. So for the next 4 weeks, when you see longer turf in the fairways and rough, or more weeds than expected in landscape beds and golf course turf, you will understand that I am trying to conserve labor for the prime summer months.
