We have finished the aerification process including the greens and all went well on the golf course. Now we are in the cleanup mode which will hopefully will be done completely over the upcoming week. It will take a bit longer to regain green speed since the sand from the aerification dulls the greens mowers blades quite quickly. During the course closure we additionally had all the palm trees trimmed (first time in three years) and two dying trees removed. Next week we will be addressing the oleanders along El Dorado.
Transition is in full swing and the sprayed ryegrass in the fairways and tees, and in the greens. If you look at the tees you made notice that it seems that there is much more bermudagrass than on the fairways ... there is two major reasons for this look. The first is that the tees do not experience cart traffic thus healthier turf, and second, the main reason, is because the tees are 328 bermudagrass and the fairways are common bermudagrass. Common bermudagrass takes longer the the hybrid bermudagrasses to recover, but they will indeed recover quite nicely. Thanks to aerification the greens will heal quite quickly from transition with needing only minor repairs.
