Ahead of Schedule
04/22/2010
We are finished with our spring cultural practices on the putting greens. The course wintered great and the current weather has allowed us to start a week ahead of schedule. The greens will be in top notch condition the earliest they have been in the four years we have been open.

WINTER WATERING
02/05/2010
The weather has finally cooperated enough this week that we are able to get out and water our turf. What started out being a great winter in early November has become fairly maddening. The cold temperatures have not allowed us to rehydrate the soils on a regular schedule.
Winterize
11/13/2009
As much as I love the smell of fresh cut grass, I admit that I welcome the smell of the first frost just as much. It is a much needed stimulant for all of us as the growing season is beginning to wind down and means its time to start preparing for the winter ahead. Days are getting shorter, our watering cycles cease, and the mowers spend most of their time parked at the shop.
