Spring Aerification and Rainnnnnn

Aloha, it's everyone's favorite time of year again. Aeration ! I know everyone is just as excited as last year :)  It will be a short painful process again.  Please review the aerification post from May 2016 on the right hand side to learn/recall why we are performing a core aeration this coming Wednesday.

This spring has been a wet one.  And along with a lot of rain we've also had limited sunshine.  Saturated ground and weather that is non conducive to drying is a bad combination for trying to dry out a golf course.

I understand the cart path only rule is frustrating for several reasons - but we appreciate your co-operation and hopefully we can get the golf course dried out and back to some more appropriate summer weather. 

If anyone is going to do any praying in regards to the weather....0.25" of rain every 5 days throughout the summer would be great - preferably at night.  Thanks!

Happy National Golf Day

Easy Game

Happy Spring

This past Monday signified the first day of Spring.  And as of today, the forecast for next week looks like Spring weather is coming.   We hope to get out on the golf course with an army soon to get the place tidied up after the winter.  A lot of tree debris has littered the course – including a few trees down in their entirety.  Not much snow in the latter half of the winter and a lot of strong winds attributed to the excessive debris. 

The golf course wintered spectacular.  The greens, tees and fairways all look great – just as we left them in the fall.  Here’s a couple photos of the golf course from last week.

 

Here’s a photo of a putting green and the aeration holes that remain from last fall.  Once the soil temperatures start to rise and we are able to get a roller on them, the holes will fill in quickly.  More sand will be applied to the putting greens in the spring to top up any empty aeration holes.  Hopefully we will be grooming our putting greens for success shortly and if this promise of good weather stands true hopefully we will be golfing soon too!  See everyone soon.
