GOLF COURSE UPDATE 5/13/20

• GREENS - Mowed at .125" 4 times per week rolled 3 times, TEES/COLLARS/APPROACHES Mowed at .325" 2 times per week, FWYS Mowed at .375" 2 times per week, ROUGH Mowed at 2.5" 1 time.
• As of now, setup will be 2 times per week on greens and all accessories will remain off the course until further notice. Please note that we have installed rings to prevent the ball from resting at the bottom of the cup and ask all not to remove the flagstick.
• Things to expect - a dialed-in golf course inside the box, green speeds from 10 to 11 ft, the removal of our step-cut around greens and fairways, bunkers raked as time permits, and a rougher appearance and playability around our bunkers.
• Plant protectant, growth regulator applications, and weekly to bi-weekly fertility application programs are in full rotation to provide healthy playing surfaces.
• Weeding, mulching, and pre-emergent applications made to landscape beds and will continue until completion.
• Friday, May 15, 2020 our Driving Range and Tennis Facilities will be open.
• Current Staff - 4 Union Full-Time on the golf course, 2 H2-B Full-Time for Tennis and Clubhouse Grounds, 1 Assistant, Mechanic.
•  Needle-tine aeration to greens bi-weekly. As a reminder, we did not hollow core aerate any playing surfaces this spring so this practice will help aid in the benefits of core aerification until this fall.
• Staff protection is at the top of our priority list with all employees being provided masks, gloves, and disinfecting materials. Our staff area sanitation practices are ongoing and continuos within our shop ensuring safe work areas and equipment. For example, every employee disinfects the break room/restroom after use and at the end of every day along with all equipment and community areas.
