This week we will be mini-tining or "venting" the greens. We are using a 1/4" tine that will punch through the surface of the green to a depth of 5". The venting allows oxygen and water to move through the profile which is very important to the health of the greens. It will cause minimal disruption to the surface and the greens will be back in great shape by the middle of the week.
We are applying our second application of wetting agent to the fairways on Monday. The wetting agent will help move the water through the profile and off the surface. We will be watering it in immediately following the application. We are also due to apply a fungicide, growth regulator and ferrous sulfate to the greens. The plan is to spray the greens on Wednesday.
All the flowers have been planted around the clubhouse, so now it is time to move to the course. We have about two weeks of planting. We plant about 13000 annuals around the clubhouse and on the course.
The weather looks great this week so get out and enjoy the course.
