Golf
Maintenance FYI
·
There
is no question that we are extremely fortunate that Hurricane Dorian slipped up
the east coast this past week. Our thoughts and prayers are with those that the
massive storm did effect.
·
I
can’t thank my staff enough for their willingness to get the golf course ready
for play for the past weekend and the Labor Day event. The course was in great
shape and our members thoroughly enjoyed getting away from the Weather Channel
updates and being outdoors. Great work by Traci, Jason, Chef Paul and Brian for
communicating and coordinating everything. #teamwork
·
We
are preparing for our 3-day closure this coming week that will involve verti-cutting
and aerifying the greens on Tuesday. They will then be top-dressed with sand,
fertilized and brushed to incorporate the sand and nutrients down into the soil
profile. I am confident the greens will recover quickly.
·
The
golf course will be fertilized with a complete fertilizer this week to
strengthen the turf before the cooler weather and increased golfer traffic
arrives.
·
During
the closure there will be some new concrete curbing added along the cart paths in
several locations including Hole 1 tee complex, Hole 5 green and the bathrooms
on Holes 4 and 14. These areas are routinely run over with cart traffic and
have a negative impact on the turfgrass and vegetation. The broken sidewalk
from Hole 13 to 14 will also be repaired.
·
Several
areas throughout the golf course are having additional plant material installed
where there have been voids or dead plants removed. The new plants will provide
an improved appearance and help reduce weed pressure.
·
Additional
Palm trees will be installed this week along the golf maintenance western fence
to provide an improved appearance for those residents in Cinnamon Ridge looking
toward the east.
·
The
ice machine at Hole 4 was repaired this week and is now operating perfectly. I
have received many compliments for the upgrades to the beverage stations and
the overall appearance of the bathrooms.
·
An
irrigation issue was identified on Court 1 at the tennis facility. A new
irrigation valve will be installed on Monday. The courts will have additional
clay applied at the end of September to have them in great condition for the
upcoming season.
·
Electrical
work for the decorative clock was completed this week. The new clock is
expected to arrive the first week of October.
·
Bonita
Springs Utilities has confirmed that they will be refurbishing our fire
hydrants throughout the property. They hope to begin in October and finish by
the end of the year.
·
Estero
Fire Department has confirmed that they will be replacing any missing
reflectors used to identify the fire hydrants. They hope to have this completed
by the end of the month.
·
David
Forrey will be enjoying some time off next week visiting family in Minnesota.
It is a much-deserved break for this outstanding employee.
