It is that time of year again and we are getting ready for the upcoming overseeding. This year the course will close on the 5th of Oct instead of the 3rd, thus other than the scheduled event on Monday the members have the golf course for a couple of extra days.
There have been a couple of questions about the overseeding this year that I hope I can answer. One of the questions was "why, did we start so early? and why are other golf courses green?" We have started already the scalping process as we do every year at this time. The reason we start this a little earlier than some other courses is to get a jump on the process since we are the only golf course in the Valley that doesn't utilize OT in the overseeding process. To the question about if a course is green, most, to all other golf courses that close and overseed at the same time we do are doing the exact same thing and are in the exact same state we are; however, this does vary from course to course. Thus, a greener golf course may have a later closing date than we do at Avondale.
If all goes well we should be able to have the course prepped & seeded on time thus giving us the maximum amount of days to grow in the new crop before opening in November.
