Aerifying

Aerifying is one of the single most important things that we can do to help maintain and improve the quality of the turf.  On Monday, October 7th, we will be aerifying our greens.  There is never an ideal time, but the process and products we use makes for an easier clean up process and promote faster healing.

• Use solid tines which penetrates the ground and DOES NOT remove a core
•  Top dress with quality dried sand
• Daily maintenance of rolling, mowing, watering and fertilize

The USGA recently came out with, “The ins and outs of aeration” which provides more details and benefits.

Pace Of Play Tips For Your Next Round

Pick one of these

1. Keep moving: Proceed quickly the next tee after putting out, and to your ball between shots.

2. Be ready to hit: When it’s your turn to play, take 45 seconds, maximum, to hit your shot.

3. See it, read it, hole it: While others are putting, read your putt and be ready when you’re up.

4. Always be prepared: Start the round with tees, markers, balls and a ball-mark repair tool in your pocket. Replace head covers as you walk or while waiting for others to hit. Write down scores on the next tee, not at the green while the next group waits to play.

5. Be cart smart: Drop off your partner and drive to your ball, or vice versa. When you leave the cart, take three clubs, not one. Park behind greens, not in front, whenever possible.

6. Watch your partners: When someone in your group hits an errant shot, watch it closely to pinpoint its location. Help others search for balls when it’s convenient – close to your ball, for instance – and move on when it’s not.

Rain, rain go away

It has been an interesting week with The Legacy receiving rainfall every day since last Sunday.  Thus far, we have received nearly 3.5″ of rain.  Therefore, golf carts will be restricted to the paths for at least the next couple of days and we hope to have the driving range open on Saturday.  There was a recent article in Golf Course Industry and written by Tim Moraghan.  He discussed a variety of topics that a superintendent has to deal with daily.

AFTER RAIN – If the sign says to keep your cart on the path, do so.  Even if the sun is out.  After heavy rain, the turf will be soft and the cart can damage it and maybe get stuck.  Which is bad for the course and the cart.  And it could cause an injury to you, too.  It doesn’t matter that the course down the street is letting carts leave the path.  No two courses are exactly alike even if they’re next-door neighbors.

You’ve heard the expression “sh*t flows downhill?” The really is true on a golf course. Silt, soil, grass clippings and other debris will head downhill when dislodged by heavy rain, and seek the lowest areas collecting there.  Drainage and evaporation will be slow, so those areas should be avoided.

I heard of a club member who complained to the green chairman that ” I noticed the fairway was really wet as I drove across it.  When are we going to get the superintendent to fix this?”.  We’re good at our jobs, but we leave the weather to a higher power.  By Tim Moraghan

Course Update Wednesday, September 11th

Mother Nature is trying to make it difficult on us, but we keep fighting back.  The course received almost 3″ of rain yesterday.  Therefore, golf carts will be restricted to the paths only for the foreseeable future and the driving range is not open.  We are hoping that we miss the rain on Thursday and can enjoy some sunshine and drying conditions.
