I think I have been slacking a little recently. It's been a while since I have posted. For the last week I was in Florida for our annual meeting. I was lucky enough to play a couple of rounds of golf on the way down. The weather was beautiful and I was not excited to get home to a cold rain!
Spring is almost here! Right now we are in the process of spraying out any winter weeds that have popped up in the dormant bermudagrass. We should be done with this process within the next week or so. That is if we aren't under a foot of snow after the storm that is supposed to hit us Wednesday. We are also applying a pre-emergent herbicide to control any new weeds from germinating.
Once we are done spraying out weeds, it will almost be time to aerify. I know this is a touchy subject, but we are going to do everything we can to help this process heal as quick as possible. By the time they heal we will be watching The Masters and not even thinking about what went on two weeks earlier.
I look forward to seeing everyone out on the course!
On the 'sensitive' front, everyone should have a long term view of the golf course. This type of activity is necessary for the long term health of the course. Looking forward to a spring recovery and green-up. Have we settled on the grade of bermuda the tee boxes will be done in and how will this tie-in to the grass selection on the 'other nine'?
ReplyDeleteKen we are going with 419 or Tifway on the tees. We will be doing the same on the other 9 as well. There is already a lot on new 1. I believe there may have been some contaminated sod used on #7 as well. In my opinion, this variety is the best option.
