Almost Labor Day. Only have applied 0.5#N /1000 for fairways this year. Have held on really nice thru a tough year. CIGCSA

Good day for blowout. 70, sunny, and no wind.

Roundup herbicide working nicely on the zoysia grass and cleaning up poa. Post 14 days spraying. CIGCSA

Been a good 7 days of grinding. Over 100 stumps leveled. About 1 or 2 days left CIGCSA

When it’s your lucky day

Gotta get excited when changing cups and you see last years 3/4” hallow time aeration on greens. CIGCSA

Another day another leak. O-ring in the swing joint was the culprit.

Today’s project was installing a filter system for the spraying water. We use irrigation water out of the local lake. After rain events water becomes muddy, lots of silt. The new filter should help with clean spray water and increase the effectiveness of the pesticides.

The last two months we have been lacking rain. June was bad with the heat and wind. Luckily the Toro Golf irrigation system was able to keep up. The last 30 days the pumps kicked out almost 7 million gallons of water, luckily we are on a lake with unlimited supply of water.

The year of no N continues, greens seem to be thriving this year without excess growth from fertilizer. One more week of hot summer weather and we move into September. Puffyness of greens is better than previous seasons. CIGCSA

Guess it’s time to give the fairways its first shot of nitrogen for the season, even tho they look strong and healthy without any nitrogen. Time get them prepared for winter.

Early morning spray session. Gotta keep the tees happy.

Good morning from lakeshore

Some days are better than others. Just glad they stayed away from the greens.

Time to assemble toro 5510 fairways units. New reel stock this year.
