Calabasas Country Club
Course Update
This week the club has reached the 100 degree mark a few times and the crew is working hard at hand watering, adjusting sprinklers, installing new sprinklers and fixing drains; This is done to stay ahead of the heat and keep the course in great shape. Needle tine aerating on the greens will also be completed this week to aid the greens health through this hot season.
Fact: The needle tines are used because they do not disrupt play like the big hollow tines; they are not quite as effective that is the reason they are used more frequently.
The rough is currently being mowed down to an acceptable level. I ask for your patience during this process as there will be lots of clippings, followed by loud sweepers and blowers picking them up. This process will be completed in one and a half to two weeks.
Also occurring this week is the addition to a cart path on the right side of the eighth green. There are more of these aesthetic enhancing projects planned throughout the fall and winter. I will post pictures of the development of this and other projects on the Course Maintenance Blog.
