We have finished the drill & fill process of the greens on Tuesday. This process is a very labor intensive process requiring most of the crew to haul sand buckets just to keep the drilling machines full. This means that most of the other duties around the golf course had to be put on the sideline due to our labor shortage, but we will have caught back up soon.
The purpose of drilling the greens is to allow the water in the soil profile to move downwards thus reducing algae and disease potential of the putting surface. In addition these 1" by 12" holes also promote deeper root growth which in turn improves the stress tolerance of the plant during the summer months.
Although we finished most of the aerification of the remainder of the golf course should be finished in the next couple of days. All we have left is several of the front nine's fairways. Both the greens and the fairways will recover quickly since the humidity and temperature is back to normal.
I have been told that my voice was not picked up in the you tube video during the last town hall meeting (that is unusual). Just to let you know that what I said is mainly that I support JC Resorts and I think that they will help us gain much needed membership to allow us to move from a great golf course to a fantastic one. Plus you just gotta love their initals "JC" which just so happen to be mine too.
