Today we started the aerification of the greens, fairways & tees. The greens are progressing quickly thanks to a trailer that we bought last year to haul the aerifiers from green to green. Thanks to this one piece of equipment we were able to complete three more greens than we have ever done in the years before ... and with less staff. One day we will purchase a sand hauler and we will shorten the time even further.
We started the aerification of the fairways and tees as well, however, we noticed too late the the range had over 200 balls on it (most were yellow) even though it was cleaned picked. Most likely this means that someone had golf balls stockpiled at home and used them after the range had closed. The sad part is that all those golf balls are destroyed now and the Club suffers a loss in money.
If everything goes right tomorrow we will be done with the greens and Wednesday will be used for clean up, finishing fairways & tees, and several applications including grub and fairy ring control as well as fertilization. Whatever, is left will be finished Thursday morning before the first tee time at 9:00 am.
We are still on hold for the use of the well on 6 and hopefully will have it back operational soon.
