This morning we finished rolling all greens, mowed them, set new hole locations, and put in the freshly painted flagsticks. Let the season begin!
Greens Open!
A few players took advantage of the nice day today, and it looks like tomorrow should be nice as well, but the forecast for the weekend and early next week looks a little bleak so it's likely we will be recovering the greens soon. It takes a crew of about 8 men, approx. 4-41/2 hours, to put the covers on, so if the forecast stands we'll start recovering early tomorrow afternoon. I mentioned the reasons why we do this in the previous post but in general we don't want to have a decline in the benefits that the covers provide.It was a very busy day today on the grounds at SCC. The photo's below show our activities:
First greens rolling complete
First greens mowing complete
All fairways rolled to prepare for mowing
Aeration of shaded, saturated, ice damaged area on #8 fairway
(fortunately this is only fairway with larger areas of injury)
Controlled burning of native & naturalized grass areas begin
More details on several of these above projects / practices will be forthcoming.
