Course Update

Calabasas Country Club
Course Update

It has been 97 days since the last rain; hand watering, drainage repairs and irrigation maintenance has and continues to be one of the major focal points on the course. Another important factor is the continued monitoring of the putting greens salinity, nitrate, and moisture levels along with a preventative disease and insect program.

A few activities planned for this week include:
o    Leaching the greens
o    Fungicide application
o    Dead tree removal
o    Planting new trees
o    Edging cart paths
o    Needle aerating high traffic areas on greens
o    Aerating high traffic areas in fairways and roughs
o    Spraying fairways with a growth regulator and wetting agent
