- Seasonal Height of Cut - GRNS .110" and double rolled every WED/FRI/SAT/SUN, TEES .350, Approaches .350, FWYS .375", All Rough(bunker edges included) 2.25" cut twice a week to give a 2.5" rough for weekend play.
- All flowers, planters, and mulching complete.
- Bunker sand detail work will continue with depth checking and additional quartzite added for firmer faces and less plugging.
- Mower line detail around Tees (red lines) and Collars (red dots) this gives mowers guidance.
- New fairway extensions on #3 and #4 fairways seeded and topdressed.
- New areas to be cut down at step cut height include the left side of #17 greenside bunker and between #14 green to #10 fairway.
- Tournament season greens conditioning started with weekly grooming, topdressing, and aggressive rolling.
- Property detail and moving towards maintenance mode for tournament golf.
- Bi-weekly greens venting to begin 6/16/18 this practice is largely unnoticeable to golfers and has been performed each of the last few seasons for plant performance during summer stress.
The unofficial start of the summer is here and with it brings more inconsistency in our forecast. We have seen four Noreasters in March, a cold dry April and a wet May with temperatures fluctuating from 60's to 90's challenging our patience to play and condition the course. But finally this week welcomed more golfers to enjoy a course starting to pop with color, quicker more consistent greens, and rough with teeth to penalize players missing fairways. Over the next few weeks we will be working to wrap up any open projects and turn all our attention to maintenance and plant health leading into the summer.
