... cold. Pay attention to the weather if you are planning to play this week. Not a great week to aerify fairways and we are postponing today's plan to punch 10 and 18 fairway. With the wet conditions we will be unable to achieve the goal of aerification. We will monitor the weather on a day-to-day basis and make decisions accordingly on aerification.
Instead, today we'll focus on tree trimming and native grass mowing. Mowing the natives is the second step to a better maintained native stand of plantings. In time, with the reduction of over-spray from irrigation, these areas will begin to thin out and actually be left to their natural environment. In the spring these cut plants will grow back stronger and be more competitive against weeds. Pesticide applications will be made to rid any unwanted or noxious weeds surrounding the golf course.
Not only will these areas look more aesthetically pleasing, they will become player friendly. Thinner grassy areas will make it easier to find golf balls, and you may even get a bit of roll out of them.
