Finally, the weather has started to warm up and over the last two days we are seeing the fairways starting to grow back in with bermudagrass. Another couple weeks and we will be filled mostly back in on the fairways,; however, this same warmer weather is going to take out the ryegrass that we did not chemically treat. These areas to will be going through transition and will be uglier at first until the bermudagrass without competition fills those areas. These areas include the greens and approaches as well as areas under the trees.
This upcoming week we are limited of staff due to the holiday and we will also be trimming the oleanders along El Dorado which will take the staff off the course. The week after that we will be starting the aerification of the rough to relieve the compaction from all of the cart traffic. There will be plugs left behind but remember according to the rules of golf you get free relief.
Be patient through these times of aerifications and transition, and just enjoy your round of golf. These are necessary evils that we too do not enjoy but will make the golf course so much better in the long run. As you can tell by the seasons getting better and better these processes make the golf course more enjoyable especially during the season.
