Our focus for this week is to mow all the golf course in preparation of the Fall Classic this Friday and Saturday. The greens mowing height for the sodded areas has been lowered to .155 for Tuesday's mowing. The mowing height for the established areas of the greens will go to .130 on Wednesday with a double mowing that day. The mowing height will be lowered on Thursday to .145 over sod and .125 for the rest of the greens.
Roughs have been seeded on #15, 17 and the chipping green areas. Ropes and stakes will protect these areas from equipment and golf cart traffic through these areas for the next two weeks. Seeding is planned for street crossings and holes #3 & 4 during mid-week.
Nutgrass on #13, 14, 15, 16 has been boom sprayed with a herbicide this week.
Greens will be sprayed on Wednesday with fertilizer and fungicide. Some of the new sod has a fungal disease called Yellow Tuft. The disease is normally not life threatening but it does turn the leaf blades bright yellow and stunts the plant. Usually the disease is present in the Spring and Fall when alot of moisture is present.
A Grounds and Green Committee Meeting is scheduled for Thursday evening at 5:30 pm.
Have a great day!
Scott Johnson, CGCS
