Fertilzation Starts -- Wall-to-Wall

This morning we will be starting the fertilization of the golf course wall-to-wall.  Since there are 115 acres of turf to fertilize and water the product in, this will take a couple to a few days to complete.  Our goal is to finish the fertilization as quickly as possible without any interference with play other than the course being slightly wetter than usual.

This fertilization is the first time in almost three months that we have fertilized the roughs and will bring the golf course into premier conditions for all of the upcoming events.  Our fairways, tees and greens are already in premier condition, now it is time to take the remaining golf course there as well.

On the bunker front.  We have bought new blades for the smaller rototiller and this will be our unit for the remainder of the season ... or at least during the times when the nightly irrigation is so light.  Additionally, we are still experimenting with different rake styles to find the one that is right for us and our bunker sand in the mornings.  Since the team is working so hard to try to even our the bunkers there will be times that they will be caught in the mornings by play ... especially by twosomes.
