It's Just Grass


You may have noticed some different mow lines around the course. Many of the lines on the course were determined by the irrigation system. Some areas due to lack of coverage would suffer at fairway height so they were turned into rough areas to have a better chance of surviving. Now that our coverage is at its best and stress periods are starting to subside, we are exploring different mow patterns around the course. Some may stay, some may go.
Kevin Atkinson will visit next week and we will go through many of these areas. There are many factors that need to be looked at when changing mow patterns throughout the course. Plant health and playability are the most important, followed by labor and equipment needs.
