Spraying Primo, Trimming Trees & Main Line

As the golf course slowly drys out and signs of overseed are already here.  Today we will continue the spraying of Primo (a growth regulator) on the tees and fairways.  Given the rate that we apply the chemical the goal is to have the bermudagrasses growth shut down during the overseed.  Other applications this week include a fungicide application on Friday to suppress the fairy ring and prevent (not eliminate) disease pressure in the first couple of weeks of overseeding.
16 Is Slowly Drying
Speaking of overseeding ... to further the enjoyment of our summer members, just like last year we will leave the golf course items such as ball washers, trash cans, markers, etc. on the golf course until we shut down for overseed prep.  This action slows down our overseeding prep process but keeps our membership happy which is our number one concern.  So we hope that this will be good news to our members.

The tree trimming will continue today with the goal of finishing by the week's end.  It is a lofty goal but still it is our goal.  Clean up of the small branches that fall out for days after these trimmings will continue until we close.

            - Oct 1 & 2nd - course open -- no crew, play wherever you desire.
            - Oct 3rd -- golf course closed.
