Monterey Pines Golf Club: May 2013
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Friday, May 10, 2013. Rounding up some projects. If you've been out on our course lately you most likely have seen some really green turf like you see in the picture below (right of #1 tee). Along with the area on #1, here's another area between #8 green and #9 tee that we sprayed. Along with the turf being killed, two sprinkler were adjusted to water less area and one sprinkler was removed. Posted by Austin Daniells, Golf Course Superintendent. Posted by Austin Daniells. Lots o...

Monterey Pines Golf Club: June 2013
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Today was most likely the last time we will use this Jacobsen Greens King IV. After 27 years of service and probably an engine rebuild or two, it is finally time to retire "Ol' Trusty". Recently we were able to pick up a couple used Toro 3250-D's and so we now have no use for this old machine. Goodbye and farewell to our 1986 Jacobsen G.K. IV!

Monterey Pines Golf Club: September 2012
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Trees Planted @ #1 Tee. Posted by Austin Daniells, Golf Course Superintendent. Posted by Austin Daniells. Monday, September 17, 2012. Our fingers are crossed! We will be transplanting three more trees to the right of the white tee on #1 in the next couple of days. The title of this post is "Our fingers our crossed" because all of these trees have been in a 24" boxes for way too long. Hopefully they will enjoy their new environments! It was a very bus...

Monterey Pines Golf Club: May 2012
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Saturday, May 12, 2012. We went ahead and added some new seed after the holes were almost filled. We didn't really need to as we have a pretty good stand of bentgrass but we wanted to see what would happen as the seed started to grow and if it would have any affect on playability. Posted by Austin Daniells, Golf Course Superintendent. Posted by Austin Daniells. Friday, May 11, 2012. If you haven't noticed the new look to our tee signs take another look!

Monterey Pines Golf Club: And.....Away They Go
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2014/03/andaway-they-go.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Thursday, March 20, 2014. After some hard work by my staff and an outrageous amount of paperwork, we were finally able to get rid of a bunch of old equipment that had been kicking around for years. Most of the equipment was more than 20 years old. Some of the old equipment included old golf carts, greens mowers, a fairway mower, an aerifier and a 3-wheeled E-Z-GO utility vehicle to name a few.

Monterey Pines Golf Club: Springtime fun on the course
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2013/03/springtime-fun-on-course.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Springtime fun on the course. All areas were aerified with 5/8" coring tines except for green banks which were punched with 5/8" solid times. For the fairways, the cores were dragged with a metal drag to break up the plugs and then blown off with our turbine blower. The plugs from the tees and collars were picked up with our core harvester. Posted by Austin Daniells, Golf Course Superintendent. Posted by Austin Daniells. There was an error in this gadget.

Monterey Pines Golf Club: A little vertical trim
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-little-vertical-trim.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Tuesday, April 2, 2013. A little vertical trim. The first process we started out with is what we call a deep verti-cut. We use our carbide tipped verti-cutters that are mounted on one of our greens mowers. Here's an up close picture of the blades. Following the verti-cutter is our turbine blower that is used to disperse the clippings and try to blow them off the greens. Following the blower is our greensmower to mow the greens and pick up any left over debris. One of the last of...

Monterey Pines Golf Club: April 2013
http://montereypinesmaintenance.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monterey Pines Golf Club. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. In my last post I stated that we were starting to wind down on our projects but this past week we kept moving along with a few more in our "spring scramble.". The big question then became where would we lay this sod? We chose to prep an area to the left of #3 green. Once the old turf was removed we came in and core aerified the entire area and then put down a generous amount of gypsum and starter fertilizer. Next we laid the new sod in its new home a...
