Week of April 23rd Update

It looks like we will have a slight warm up as we start the week with a chance of showers in the middle of the week.  We will be applying our first fungicide application to fairways and tees on Monday as a disease called dollar spot is starting to show up.  Dollar spot becomes active as the soil starts to warm up and moisture increases.  We received about .8" of rain on Friday and Saturday which jump started the fungus.  Monday we also will be verticutting and topdressing the greens.  Tuesday we will be topdressing the lower driving range tees.  We hope to stay on the top driving range tee until the first week of May.  It will then be closed and seeded.  We will be applying our second application of herbicide for weed control, basically going after the dandelions and clover.  Thursday is opening Ladies day.  Friday is scheduled for applying a fungicide and growth regulator to the greens.  Get out and enjoy the course!!
