Update!

It's been a couple of busy weeks on the course, so I have a couple of things to update.

Slowly but surely.
  
Last week we aerified all the greens. I have good news and bad news. The good news is, virtually all the holes are full of sand. The bad news is, a week after they still look like we just punched them. The healing process is really slow. A combination of cool night time temps and a seedhead growth retardant has really slowed down growth.  An additional fertilizer application will hopefully wake them up and get them growing.

 
 
We've started testing the irrigation system after it's been shutdown all winter. The system is getting some age to it and needs quite a bit more maintenance to keep it running efficiently. If you come upon sprinklers that are on, please be patient, we are trying to fix a problem and the water will go off shortly.
 
 

 
 
 

The range is finally starting to show some signs of life. With the cold nights and morning frosts, it's taken a bit longer to emerge than I hoped. As I've been saying all along, once the temperatures warm, the grass will grow and we will open the tee for use. Just be patient, it's coming, it's just taking it's sweet time.
