Fairy Ring, BTa & Drains

I have been noticing that the fairy ring on the greens has been starting to rear its ugly head over the past couple of weeks. We have a chemical to address the issue; however, to get the full effect of this very costly product we have to wait until the first aerification to apply. In addition, the BTa (the little black beetle) has returned ... good news is that we are on a grub treatment program that addresses the insects that we started last year and the population is 5% of what it has been in the past.
  • Drains -- I have just for the first time heard we are having a issue with a couple of drain tops "popping" off when the golf carts drive over them. Brandon is getting with Mr. Kelly to discover which ones were the issue so we can find out why after 6 years for many of them we are now seeing a problem. Once we can discover what the problem exactly is and what can be done to solve it we will fix the issue around the golf course.
  • Broken tees -- A member asked me the other day if my team was just dumping the broken tees out of the boxes on the tees. The answer is of course "no." Every morning the set up person picks up and empties the broke tee caddies (into a trash can) and places the empty caddie back. Sadly, there are many when they are throwing their broken tees at the tee caddie -- miss.
