Course Update

Today we decided to take advantage of the warm temperatures and spiked (vented the greens) and mowed them this morning. The greens growth have really slowed down over the last week or so due to the colder weather. We have started to cut down our mowing practices and are down to mowing the greens two or three times a week depending on the weather and growth. The venting process is done to help keep the surface area open so the green will take in moisture and water. Sometimes with foot traffic and equipment traffic greens surfaces tend to seal off and not allow the green to absorb any moisture or water as good as they normally do. So we open the surfaces up in several ways with one of them being the venting practice. Also the work has started on the #11 creek bank project! Jack and his crews got here sooner then they thought so they are taking advantage of the nice weather as well! Have a great weekend! I know this last comment is going to get me in trouble with a lot of you but GO BRONCOS!!
