Golf
Maintenance FYI
·
Trimming
of all plant material continues throughout the golf course this week.
·
All
fairways and Approaches have been re-shaped where necessary. Some fairways have
been lengthened toward the tee and some have either been widened or narrowed to
improve the overall appearance. It will take several weeks for the grass to
acclimate to the new height.
·
Tina
will be working Saturday and I will be working on Sunday this weekend.
·
All
fairways were raked, and circle cut this week to improve turf quality. The
raking removes thatch and overlaying turf while the circle cutting cuts off the
excess leaf tissue. We will continue to perform this practice throughout the
summer months.
·
All
sprinkler heads were edged this week and will be completed each month
throughout the summer.
·
Work
continues on improving the landscape along the southern maintenance area fence.
This will help the residents of Sago Pointe by blocking the chain-link fence
and providing a cleaner appearance. This project will be completed this week.
·
We
will continue installing plant material throughout the golf course and common
grounds over the summer months.
·
The
entire golf course will be fertilized this week on Wednesday. This will be a
controlled release fertilizer providing nutrition to the turf for the next 2
months.
·
Cart
paths will begin to be edged this week.
·
I
visited a local golf course with Dick Hockman this week to see the Curfew
application in person. It was interesting to see the process and to provide
some ideas. Everything will be in place for our own application on June 4.
·
We
are planning to host local golf course mechanics and Superintendents at our new
facility at the end of May. A lot of people are interested in seeing the new
building and to learn the process we undertook.
·
Overall,
everything continues to be very good.
