Over the past two weeks the maintenance department has been busy aerating the greens, tees, fairways & driving range tee. During this process we also seeded & fertilized; all this is a vital process to maintain healthy turf during the summer months.
The Greens where aerated using 10'' long 1/2'' diameter hollow tines as well as 4'' long 1/2'' diameter hollow tines.
After the greens are aerated they are then cleaned off.
When the greens are clean we then seed, fertilize, top-dress & brush.
The driving range tee was aerated, seeded, verti-cut, top-dressed & fertilized.
Here is what it looks like after the tee was aerated and verticut.
The maintenance crew has a new employee, her name is Nugget. She is an 8 week year old AKC/OFA registered chocolate labrador retriever. She is here to help scare off some of the Canadian Geese and Coots that have been creating damage to the turf and making a mess on #9, #16 & #18 greens
Her pedigree consists of:
