Today we will complete this round of fairway topdressing. Holes 12&13 should be done by this afternoon and that will make 300 tons of sand spread over 30 acres of fairways. Next Sand application will be in March immediately after spring core aerification of the fairways.

.95” of rain yesterday- that brings our rainy season total to 3.19”. More is on the way over the weekend

First time mowing fairways in 9 days. So far our rainfall total is 14.57” for the season. The entirety of last season was 14.22” so we have surpassed that. The 10 day forecast starting tomorrow has 10 days of rain. Enjoy the course while you can!

We had a total of 7 trees come down around the course over the last 4 days. The rainfall total is now up to 22” for the season and thankfully we have a good stretch of no rain in the forecast. Fingers crossed we can get fairway mowers out Friday.

In a continued effort to make improvements in the immediate areas around the greens, we are leveling and re sodding areas. This will improve the playability and presentation of the collars around the greens.

Please read. Do not beholden to the number (stimp reading) as there is more to speed. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Several trees down on the course. Lots of cleanup over the next several days and we will be concentrating on clearing the main playing surfaces and paths.

More wind and rain over the last 24 hours. 2.65” of rain bringing our season total up to 31.71”. The course has some standing water and branches that need to be cleaned up.

The start of fairway topdressing week. More cultural practices to improve playability and soil structure

Cultural practices- the foundation of quality and consistent playing surfaces. We started fairway and rough slicing this morning and we should be wrapped up in a couple of days. Essential process during the season to continue downward movement of air and water.

In our continued effort to improve, we are sand topdressing the greens today

We had a couple of visitors to the course for a demo today

TurfRad data on soil moisture in the fairways. Next level technology that will only make us better

Tournament time!

The golf course maintenance staff crushing it at the Siebel Varsity Training Complex today!

Course update. Cleanup is ongoing from debris left by the last storm event. Our YTD rainfall total up to 11.67”. Saturated conditions so no carts for the foreseeable future.

This weeks activities

Getting ready for the Women’s Intercollegiate event starting on Friday. It’s all about the details and the staff are crushing it along with some help from Graeme Cherry who painted the logo on 18 fairway.

Fall cultural practices. Including double slit seeding with rye and chewings fescue. An essential part to the overall process and one of the reasons the tees and fairways have seen an improvement in playability and presentation.
