We are good at making a mess!

On a golf course, to make things better you have to make a mess in the process. The last month has been very busy prepping the golf course for the Hickory Stick and the Fourth of July weekend. The week of July4th, the course was closed on Tuesday, Wednesday and half a day on Thursday for aerification of greens, tees, aprons and fairways. The crew worked two 10 hour days to get everything completed with some clean-up remaining for Thursday and Friday.

 #16 green surround aerified and fairway almost complete


#11 green zoysia apron aerified

                                          The soil cores are pulled and pulverized fairly quickly.


Now we are ready for the Dog Days of Summer. The crew will focus efforts caring for the greens and fixing irrigation issues as they arise.
