Drains & Fertilization

A week or so ago we were informed that a couple of the drain lids "popped" off when a cart drove directly over them. We have started sercuring the lids to the drain pipe but this is a big process and will take a couple of weeks to finish since there are so many around the golf course. Speaking of projects, we after many years finally extended the wind "vane" for the weather station above the Arborviteas so now we will be able to get accuracte wind readings which in turn will allow us to better irrigate at night.

On Friday the 15th (tax day) we finished the wall-to-wall fertilization. Over next week we will be fertilizing around the greens and out of the way areas to promote the final push of the ryegrass for the season and jump start the bermudagrass. This will be the last fertilization for the ryegrass since in May (towards the end of the month) we will start the chemical transition of the fairways, tees & approaches. YES -- this will be ugly at first but it will provide a better summer turf conditions and overseed next season.
