Thursday


Divot recovery on the practice tee has been very encouraging after implementing changes last season.  We can see the old divots filled within  6 days.
 

Below, golf has been minimal this month but there are no scares on the tee after being on grass all month.
 


Above, along with flymowing, the staff is tamping the bunker sand again, edging and raking bunkers.  We will do this until we get the appropriate, desired firmness out of our bunkers.
 
Below, we are double rolling all of our greens with a 1 ton asphalt roller.  The greens are healing nicely from aerification.
 

 

Every spring we have a small amount of greens plugging to do. We use sod from our nursery behind the 5th green. 


On the 14th hole, there is a white pine we recently discovered that uprooted and fell into another tree. In the coming days, we will remove it.
