Monday, August 30, 2010. Today 8/30, we will begin prepping the areas for sodding. The collars to have some sodding completed on them are 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14. There are some collars that have areas of wear, but are healing and we don't want to disturb this. It is far better to not sod and let the grass fill in, by doing so we are creating LESS maintenance. Late today the sod will be arriving and beginning tomorrow morning, we will begin relaying. Saturday, August 28, 2010. William Brown, CGCS. TiPb&#...

Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Despite our best efforts thus far, the geese just don't want to leave! Someone needs to push for a change, these are not migratory! Last year when the geese issue became a problem, I went to my local nursery and asked for a solution. They pointed me to some reflective tap. Reflective tape? I thought no way would this work. I was wrong! Yesterday, I finally was able to return to the nursery to pick up some additional tape and we have surrounded our 6th hole (Picture below). Willia...

Friday, August 28, 2009. Our greens continue to heal at a good pace. Immediately following the aerification we made an application of fertilizer and a vitamin pack. Three days following the aerification we made the same application. Yesterday's forecast for rain today and through the weekend prompted us to apply a granular application of fertilizer. This application should begin showing signs of release this weekend. I am anticipating the greens being back 100% by next weekend. Wednesday, August 19, 2009.
