Another Frosty Day

We started this morning again with a light frost but just when we thought we were going to have a back nine start everything lifted ... thus thanks to late start times and a fantastic crew we were able to give that front nine start like we wanted.

9's Green Cart Path -- Notice the Wear from One Day

The above picture shows one day's traffic and NOT taking the road less travelled.  I can plant the grass seed, grow it and feed it, but driving the same path or not scattering you can kill weeks' worth of work within a day or two ... please scatter.

Today, we foliar fertilized all of the fairways and even finally finished rolling the greens (since the past two days there have been shotguns and frost).  Tomorrow the fertilization efforts will continue with a granular application on the tees and fairways to continue to push the growth.  Additionally, in the afternoon we will be spot seeding the fairways to recover the regions we lost to cart traffic wear.

The reason we have to put so much extra seed compared to some other golf courses is because we do not have wall-to-wall cart paths.  Other courses in the Valley do have cart path restrictions usually until just after Thanksgiving which allows the tender young seedling to "harden" and become able to recover from traffic, where here we don't have that option.
