Week 36


Well week 36 sees the start of September and the continuing of the dry weather, We have been Fertilizing the fairways, to keep them healthy and to encourage some growth in the couch, which is up and moving very early this year, which is great as we want the couch (Cynodon dactylon) to be growing at its optimium when we spray the weeds in the fairways as listed in the fairway weed spray program.
you will notice the bridge on the 6th has had some work done to it, we hope this way it will be easier to controll wear over the bridge propper.
The poa in the greens was sprayed several weeks ago and we got an excellent result from that application, and possible next week we will start work on greens to remove thatch (verti-cut) if the night time temps lift a bit.
If we don't get rain soon we will start draining the dams into the creek
well to next week ...........keep swinging   pete
