| creek # 4 cleaned |
What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been, since the last post. We have been busy on the golf course and other areas. The weather has been up and down with temperatures, the wind has been tough to deal with in spraying operations. Here are some of the things that we have been getting accomplished: The greens are starting to grow with warmer soil temperatures, so winter cups are gone. We have sodded some areas that had not healed from last fall. The light verti-cutting and topdressing process has started to smooth them out. We are skipping verti -cutting on putting green, #1, #2, #14 since these greens are still healing, with a lot of young bent grass seedlings from last fall. The crew has done a great job on cleaning creeks, mulching tee sign areas, and starting to mow rough to clean up dormant material. The dormant Bermuda grass doesn't just turn green again. The green grass is actually new growth from the bottom of the plant. A general rule of thumb (and scientifically proven) is that Bermuda will not reach peak growing potential until the day time high and night time lows add up to 150. Which in this area happens about mid to late June. Another big impact on work being accomplished is summer help coming back to work, so you will see some familar faces and some new crew members.
