Spraying Fairways & Needle-Tining Greens

It is the day of the ladies Valentine Day tournament and the "honey do" list for maintenance continues to grow.  To relieve the water retention issue that is effecting several greens we will be needle-tining greens 1 - 3, and 8 this morning before they are mowed.  Other than holes in the greens (see picture from previous post) the playability will not be affected too much.  With the Championship this weekend we needed to complete this task as soon as possible to increase the potential to be able to roll the greens.

In addition, today we will be spraying the tees and fairways with a foliar application of fertilizer.  This application along with the granular application we are doing Thursday will aid in the recovery of divots and wear from cart traffic.

We are suspending the bunker edging and weed eating today to allow the ladies to enjoy the golf course without us being in their way ... but tomorrow we will be back in full swing on the bunkers.
