Its been a busy week with leaf clean up and yes another sod truck. We finished up #13 intermediate and made our way around 14-16 replacing various cart path edges and bermuda spots. We do have a couple of more trucks to use and this may take place later in November. At this point the leaves are in full swing and all hands are needed for clean up.
This past Monday we topdressed and broomed in greens. This process is needed for continued dilution of organic matter and to continue our firm playing conditions. Next week we will spike and repeat the same process.

The brush works extremely well, brushed left and
not brushed on the right. |
Next week we will begin our bunker renovation and we have already received a load of drainage pipe and the construction company has dropped off some equipment. We met with the architect and we are very confident to hit the ground running. We will be starting on holes 12 and 13 and moving forward. I will be posting a lot of updates of the entire process. Our main staging area will be in the parking lot where we will house our sand, gravel and top soil deliveries. This area will be coned off and we please ask that you be mindful as you are driving in the parking lot.

My last topic is you may notice some off colored thin areas in the fairways. This is bermuda that has gone dormant because of the recent heavy frost that we have had. In some select areas that had no green tissue we aerified and made a sand compost mix with seed to recover these areas. We will look at covering them next week to retain warmth for germination.
