New Team Member

It has been a great week of weather this week as it brought us some nice bright sunshine and some highs in the 60's and 70's. Also this week we had a new team member join us. We are very fortunate to have Sean Berger become a part our team as Assistant Golf Course Superintendent. Sean got his Golf Course Management degree from Kansas State University and has spent the last two years at The National Golf Links on Long Island, New York working as an assistant superintendent before moving back to accept the position here at Wolf Creek. Sean is originally from Leawood, Kansas so he is excited for the opportunity to move back home and be able to work at a great facility like Wolf Creek. We are extremely excited to have Sean as a part of our staff and he will be a very valuable addition to the Wolf Creek team so please take time to introduce yourself to him if you get the chance when you are out playing over the next couple of weeks.
As the great weather continues we have been able to get some winter projects completed finally. The irrigation installation between #6 and #7 is finally complete. This is going to make a huge difference in this area by helping the turf to be more consistent during the hot summer months. Also we are just about complete with installing stone along some of our cart path edges. There are just a few more areas that we might try to complete before the season really gets started. Another project we completed was getting all the tee signs and post installed around the golf course. The signs really turned out nice and look awesome with the new paint job. We also were able to mow greens for the first time on Monday and are mowing them again this morning as they have started to wake up and grow a little bit. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the great weather and great basketball that is going on. This is a great time of the year to enjoy awesome weather by playing golf and then being able to sit down and watch some great basketball!!
