It has been a couple of weeks since I've posted thinking that the next thing to talk about was going to be the progress made getting the courses ready. Well, that has not happened. The same 3 foot snow level 2 weeks ago is what we have today, and the next 10 days have a chance of snow every day. No progress. I have be...

The 2011 Meltdown Has Begun. We have been in the doldrums of late winter weather the last 3 frustrating weeks. But, alas things seem to be improving, and we are removing snow from the courses. Minus - damage from the blowers and cold night time temperatures. The snow is an insulator from cold night time temps.

Still snow on 4th hole on opening day, May 13th, 2011. The grass is growing very little so the densities that we need for intensive grooming will not be in place until June. I have always observed that grass top growth occurs when the aspen trees leaf out. We are still not there. Kevin P Breen CGCS. Keep up with Kevin.

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club: June 2014
http://cinnabarhills.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. To begin to address the problem, I need to knock down the sodium. I have taken the steps of applying both gypsum and potassium sulfate to the fairways. The gypsum will help remove some of the sodium in the soil and because potassium is easier for the plant to uptake than the sodium, we should see (we have seen) a positive improvement.

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club: August 2014
http://cinnabarhills.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. Hold The Salt Please. While sampling fairways this week, I pulled some cores that really show me just how bad our salts are this year. I'd venture to guess that retirement communities use less salt annually than I currently have in the fairways. We have just applied calcium in the form of lime and next week we will be spraying a product in combination with wetting agent that should help break down both the salt and high bicarbonates. The winter rains can't come soon enough.

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club: September 2014
http://cinnabarhills.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. It's Been a While. April 25th of 2014 was the last time we saw rain this year. until today! While I wouldn't qualify it a rain event per se, it is nonetheless moisture falling from the sky and causing the pavement to smoke in relief. We probably won't get anything measurable from this, but we may be able to turn the sprinklers off for a day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am glad to see and say that of all the bunkers we rebuilt this year; none of them have held any water!

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club: Winter Green on the Range
http://cinnabarhills.blogspot.com/2014/11/winter-green-on-range.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. Winter Green on the Range. As some of you may have seen, the range has taken on a rather odd color compared to the summer; It's green. It's actually green both in color and grass variety. I chose to seed the range to rye grass and dutch white clover with a ratio of 94% to 6% respectively. Why dutch white clover? Range as of 11/20/14. I am glad to see and say that of all the bunkers we rebuilt this year; none of them have held any water! Over the past 4 years I have tried. Monte...

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club: Addition by Subtraction

Thursday, April 2, 2015. The bunker complex can still be enjoyed aesthetically while now being much more player “friendly”. I am glad to see and say that of all the bunkers we rebuilt this year; none of them have held any water! Over the past 4 years I have tried.
