Golf
Maintenance FYI
·
Tina Fry will be
the Manager on duty this weekend and will have everything ready for the Men’s 1
PM Shotgun on Saturday.
·
The greens had a
granular fertilizer containing both Nitrogen and Potassium applied to them on
Tuesday to keep them healthy and growing as we enter the cooler months and
increased golfer traffic. The greens are in very good condition and are
receiving many compliments from members and guests.
·
All Fairways were
sprayed with a liquid fertilizer and natural fungicide, a mineral oil, on
Monday to help promote new growth and recovery from cart traffic.
Hole 10 – December 4, 2019
·
All shrubs around
the Clubhouse and Common Grounds were fertilized with a controlled release fertilizer
during the week. This application will help promote flowering and new growth
over the coming months.
·
We have been
continuing with soil erosion areas throughout the course. A combination of new
soil, riprap and new plants have been used to help prevent future erosion from occurring.
·
All fire hydrants
have been refurbished throughout the Community. This included paint removal,
new nuts, bolts and washers and a fresh coat of paint. Compliments to Bonita
Springs Utilities for their excellent work – it truly makes a difference as you
drive around the property.
·
The pine straw
has been applied to the golf course during the week and looks great. A few
areas remain to be completed at the beginning of the new year.
·
The decorative
bridges were pressure washed and cleaned during the week. I personally
completed one of the bridges as my staff were a little concerned on how it was
to be done. Compliments to Emanuel Vega for his assistance in getting in the
boat and to Doug Garcia and Lena Tovar for helping from the shore.

It is exciting to
see some extra activity in the Osprey nest over the past couple of days.
Fingers crossed that these two “love” birds procreate, and we can watch the
nesting process.

A vehicle hit a
cart crossing sign on Thursday night and has not yet reported the incident.
Debris collected from the site indicates that it was a 2015 to 2019 Chevrolet
Tahoe or Chevrolet Suburban. I will order a new sign in early January 2020.
The damaged sign found early Friday morning
·
There are going
to be many of our staff enjoying their remaining vacation days over the next 4
weeks. With turf growth slowing down substantially, it is a good time of year
for our staff to take a much-deserved break.
·
I was able to
provide a donated outdoor table and chairs to the staff working at the poolside
café during the week. They will be able to use these to have their lunch and
have a place to sit down out of view from the Members. The staff were very
appreciative.
·
Overall, the golf
course remains in good condition. There is some cooler weather forecast for the
coming week which will have a negative effect on our warm season grass. I
encourage all members to respect the golf course by filling divots, repairing
ball marks, keeping 4 wheels on the path around Tees and Greens and driving in
the Fairways and not the rough. With your help, the turf will remain in great
condition for all to enjoy.
