Preparing the Greens


Getting the golf course ready for play is an exciting time of the year. Pictured here are Chris and Steve who are emptying baskets full of thatch and plant material out of the greens from scarifying.
Following this we aerified with solid tines. The solid tines leave no clean up, but allow gas exchange and avenues for topdressing sand into the soil profile.
With the recent snow fall, we are forced to delay sand applications. Moving sand is most effective under dry conditions. This weekend looks like warmer and drier weather will arrive in the valley. Keep your fingers crossed so we can begin getting more and more of this course open for play.
