Golf
Maintenance FYI
·
The
golf course is looking very good as we approach the Club Championship weekend. The
warmer weather has slowed the green speed down a little due to continued
growth. To combat this, the greens were verti-cut and mowed this morning and
will be mowed and double rolled on Saturday and Sunday. The greens remain in
excellent health.
·
The
golf course will be fertilized next week to continue to replenish nutrient
levels and to combat the excessive play.
·
The
maintenance building project is nearing completion. The temporary trailer will
be removed on March 8 and we expect to be relocating into the building
permanently toward the end of February. The A/C units were completed and turned
on today and the drop ceiling will be completed over the weekend. I hope to
have a Building Committee meeting down there next week. David Forrey continues
to impress with his dedication to this project to ensure nothing gets missed or
left out.
·
Tees,
Fairways and Approaches will be sprayed with liquid fertilizer next week to
help maintain their excellent quality.
·
Our
Bermudagrass Mite issue persists although there have been significant
improvements to the affected areas. We have been spraying 10 acres of turf
weekly to keep on top of any insect outbreaks. So far, we have been successful
in keeping the mites in check.
·
All
bunkers, basins and cart paths were edged this week in preparation for the Club
Championship.
·
Tina
Fry and I will be working this weekend along with several volunteers above and
beyond the normally scheduled employees to complete the final details before
the Club Championship.
·
Pine
straw will be installed to the golf course on March 18 prior to the Member
Classic in April.
·
New
annual flowers are scheduled to be installed the week after Easter.
·
The
ladies appreciated the pink cups and flagsticks, the breast cancer flags and
the pink tee markers for their event on Thursday. Thank you to Tina Fry for
always wanting to “do more” for these events.

I
have been in contact with Ajax Paving, the contractor that completed the road
overlay in 2011. There is an issue with the asphalt “raveling”, or basically
failing, at the end of Carraway Lakes. Ajax wants to fix the problem which
could mean milling and overlaying that section of the road again. I will keep
you posted.
·
Overall,
everything continues to look good throughout the community. The weather has
been spectacular, and my staff are working well together, and this shows out on
the golf course. We are all anxious to have the building and new asphalt
completed in the coming weeks.

Al
Daniels had successful Gall Bladder surgery this week and hopes to return in a
week or so. Roman Gomez was away for two days tending his partner that had a
rushed kidney stone operation. He plans to stop in on Saturday to check the
greens mowers quality of cut prior to the last day of the Club Championship.
His efforts are always appreciated.

An
interesting thing that I did this morning was to have staff members take photos
of work they are proud of and send them to me. It was great to see photos of perfectly
raked bunkers, straight mow lines on greens and striped fairways.
