Much Needed Rain

Officially 2.05" of rain received at the Golf Course over the last few days.  It was a much needed rain, not sure when the last good rain was.  There are some rough areas that have really been beat up by the dry conditions.  As the fall goes on there may be a need to reseed some of these areas, time will tell and we will proceed as needed.


This past week we started our soil compaction relief efforts.  The driving range tee has been solid tined and top dressed with sand.  This should help smooth the tee surface.  Tomorrow we plan on  moving on to the driving range and tee surfaces, the tee surfaces will also get a top dressing of sand.  Next week we will move on to the fairways and any rough areas.  Finally the week of October 9-13 we will be solid tining the greens, collars and approaches.  Again all this to help relief soil compaction, giving the turf the best chance to heal from the long summer of compaction and dry conditions.  If you have any question about our compaction relief program feel free to contact me.

Below are a few pictures of solid tining and top dressing the driving range tee.

Come out for some great fall golf.
