Spraying Barricade

Spraying 11's Tee
In an effort to control the spring weeds (i.e. crabgrass) and regulate the growth of the turf we have contracted an outside service to spray the entire golf course with fertilizer, Barricade (pre-emergent) and Primo (a growth regulator).  They will have three spray rigs in the field all day, but will spray the tees and fairways first.  This means that the tee markers may spend a majority of the day on the cart path instead of the tee blocks to prevent their potential of getting stained.
Spraying 11's Fairway
This process usually only takes a day and half to complete but can vary depending on the amount of play in the field.  This particular team has been spraying Avondale going on their seventh year and are vary much aware on how to not interfere or at least minimal impact to our members.
The Foam "Balls" are Just Soap Markers
