Off and running!

Good Friday morning! Things are full speed ahead at this point. And we are finally seeing some green up and growth out on the course. 

The greens are healing well from aeration. The cool spring has kept growth to a minimum, which in turn slowed the healing process. This week though we started to make some headway. We switched to the "good" greens mower this morning, which puts a period on the aeration process. 




We've also had some great seed germination in the tees as well as the aerated and seeded fairways. Hopefully we can get some of these areas established and filled in before they become flooded again ( likely tonight unfortunately ). The constant rainfall isn't helping considering 90% of these areas ended up like this because of last years rain. Picture below shows the seed coming up in the aeration holes. This is the low area on #10 that was damaged last summer and fall. 


At this point all of the fresh course accessories are out. We have all new flag sticks, flags, cups, and bunker rakes. The ball washers as well as the fairway and par three tee yardage plates were given a facelift. 

Have a good weekend!
