Superintendent’s Corner
As we head into our summer season, here’s some things to keep in mind, to help keep your course happy and healthy.
– Please apply bug spray and sunscreen while standing on paths or paved surfaces only. Both bug spray and sunblock sprays kill turf grass. Do not
apply while standing on any turf areas.
– Often times you will see us watering during play. For the most part, it’s to cool down the surface temperature of the turf. High surface temperature damage turf, and if not cooled down can cause turf damage or turf death. Deeper and more intense irrigation is done late at night and very early in the A.M.
– Please place bunker rakes in the bunkers after you have raked the bunkers.
– Please repair ball marks. Not only are ball marks unsightly and bumpy, they also create turf stress and damage which can promote turf disease.
– Please pick up your broken tees after you have hit your tee shot. Broken tees cause damage to our tee mower reels, when we mow the tee areas. At the very least, throw your broken tees into the rough. Do not leave them on the tee surface. Our rough mower blade will mulch and break down the tees. They are designed to take a beaten, unlike the finely tuned reels of the tee mower. The broken tees will harmless be broken down into the rough soil, and will be unnoticeable in no time.
Your help in these matters will help us in maintaining your golf course, and we greatly appreciate it!
Thank you.
