Happy Holidays

Pre emerge

Finishing pre emerge application after taking a pause due to an early cold spell. Native areas are next.

Zoysia walkpaths

Zoysia walkpaths have been installed on holes #2, 5, 14, and 15. This will be a big improvement for our walkers. The zoysia will work well in these areas due to it's traffic tolerance.

Fall Aeration

  Fall aeration of greens and tees is in full swing. Rain has delayed the process, but we were able to continue when the weather cleared. Benefits include reduced thatch and increased firmness, and better oxygen and water efficiency. Allow 7-10 days for the holes to heal.

Midwest Classic

Nice gallery for the last day of the 2014 Midwest Classic. Congratulations to winner Zack Sucher who finished -19 under par.

Wildflowers

Wildflowers looking great right now.

Springtime aerification

March hail storm

Had a round of hail this afternoon. Looks like it snowed.

Spraying pre emergent

Beautiful weather allowing us to get pre emergent sprayed on fairways.

Winter Wonderland

Winter activities at the maintenance facility

 

Winter rebuild is in full swing at the maintenance facility. I always receive alot of questions pertaining to what we do in the winter months. The main thing we try to accomplish is to address equipment maintenance that we do not have time to do in summer. Nick Kray, one of our assistant superintendent's is seen adjusting reels after grinding the reel in the top picture and Todd Cody, our irrigation technician, is refurbishing trash receptacles and ballwashers in the lower picture.
