Perennials on the course

In an effort to conserve resources the golf maintenance staff is in the process of planting more perennials and native plants throughout the property.
Here are a few pictures of some new plantings.

greens Maintenance

Today we are verticutting and topdressing the greens.  Verticutting will remove excess thatch,  promote healthy turf and reduce  the possibilty of disease.

This is just one of the many maintenance practices we are doing to keep your greens healthy prior to the stressful summer months.

Herbicide burn

This picture shows herbicide tip burn from tire traffic.  As unsightly  as this is, it will not kill the turf.   It is tip burn and the bermudagrass will grow out of it.

Bermuda grass soding

This week we will be soding weak berudagrass areas around the greens  like the ones pictured

#11 understory

Here are some before and after pictures of clean up of the understory  on the left side of hole number 11

We have added 5 new blue bird houses to the bluebird trail this year!
Here's some pictures of the new bluebird houses with blue birds taking residence on number 7

Muskrats

We have muskrats eroding our pond banks on holes number 12 and 14.
These are some pictures of Abby sniffing out the muskrats  in helping us locate the dens.
