Foliar Fertilizing, Spot Seeding, Etc.

This morning we are foliar fertilizing the fairways with potassium nitrate and iron sulfate to improve the tillering and color of the turf.  Our goal is to be completely done long before the membership comes out to play.  With the cooling weather on the horizon this will be one of the last foliar applications in Dec.

Almost Lost Ernie in the Rough

As the weather cools we are finally getting back on top of the roughs since the growth rate is slowing down.  Thus instead of just pushing the turf over we are getting cleaner cuts.  The good news is that by week's end we should be back on top again ... barring any unforeseen issues or equipment problems.

Just Kidding - This Was Around a Tree -- Ernie Was Found

The spot seeding will continue again today in some traffic worn areas and turn areas around the golf course.  We usually continue this touch up seeding until mid January at which point the bermudagrass comes back into play.

Lastly, the framing on the walk way going to 5's bathroom should be removed today and the area will be cleaned up and prepped for the upcoming weekend.
