Adapt and overcome! While the irrigation system was down, we had to come up with a way to still water greens. Greens near a water source we simply pumped from there. Others were watered 1 tote at a time. #golfcoursesuperintendent #turfgrassmanagementinthedesert #turflife

Also, throughout the week! -Roots on greens are looking good, and more work is to be done but not bad going into summer. -Bunker edging and detailing on point. -Irrigation audit underway, NOT what you want to see. 🤦🏿‍♂️ Fresh nozzles going out. -Flower change out also completed.

Ohh and on the afternoon cruise, I saw this little guy enjoying a snack on the driving range with the rest of the herd. Loving all the wildlife out here, it's incredible.

10-day update on last week's project. Beastly roots developing on the 419 Bermuda and everything is mending up extremely well! A dose of .25lb of plant crack, AKA 21-0-0 every 4 days is helping. #1 green that has been known to struggle is looking/performing well thus far!

Aerification week has arrived! The team had a good first day, 5 fairways, 13 collars/apps, and 3 holes of rough all completed ahead of play. #turfgrassmanagementinthedesert #turflife #golfcoursemaintenance

Fairway,approach, and collar aerification completed! Done in 3 days, ahead of play. A couple of 3am starts for myself to get out ahead was fun and cool. The team of guys assigned to this task rose to the challenge and smashed it! #turfgrassmanagementinthedesert #turflife

Wrapped up our first round of deep tining today with our new setup! The response from the turf is remarkable. 8" x 1/2" holes healing in roughly 4-5 days. Clipping yields have increased 23% without any additional inputs. Just happy, healthy turf! T-minus 3 weeks for round 2.

Went down to Escondido to see Anthony Pulizzano to put eyes on the Dominator bentgrass field. After collecting samples and getting a tour of the farm, it was time to turn and burn back to Vegas. Anthony, I appreciate the hospitality! Exciting things happening in a couple of weeks.

This week, we focused on some long overdue bunker drainage issues. All 12 bunkers that were an issue are now free flowing and no longer a concern. The depth of some of these drain lines was insane. #golfcoursemaintenance #turfgrassmanagement #golfcoursesuperintendent

This week, the cascata team killed it! Fairways have been fully prepped and are ready for seed. Tees have been prepped and seeded ready for water. Monday begins our month long closure to finish overseed and also renovate a couple of greens. #turfgrassmanagementinthedesert
