Project Work

The weather continues to take us on a roller coaster ride. High temperatures were in the 50's to 60's over the weekend and the first of the week and then we are now experiencing temperatures in the 30's with the forecast later in the week for temps to once again warm up into the upper 50's to 60's. Also over the last weekend we received some much needed rainfall. All sites around the golf course showed we got about 1" of rain which was very well received by the turf and trees. On Monday we were able to get out in the morning and mow the greens. We actually removed quite a bit of leaf tissue which really helped clean them up and make them play a little better. If the weather pattern holds true our plan is to try and put the small roller on them on Friday to try and get the footprints rolled out after they have softened up from all the freeze/thaw cycles we have been having. Also on Monday we started our bunker renovation work on #5. We are going to be installing the same liner and sand in the bunkers that we used on #12,13,and 18 a year and half ago. This will help these bunkers play more consistently in the future and will keep the white sand nice and clean and not allow it to get contaminated with the silt and debris that our old bunkers do. I have attached a picture below of one of the bunkers after we have pulled all the old sand out and we are getting ready to start installing the new liner. We are still waiting final approval from the State of Kansas to begin our project on #5. I will continue to keep everyone updated as I hear any new information. We are also continuing to work on the removal of the dead trees in various spots around the golf course that we identified at the end of the season. Getting these trees removed has really helped clean up some of these areas making them more appealing to the eye and helping us with getting some more air and sunlight down to the turf. I hope everyone has a great week and I hope to see all of you soon!
