Hollow Brook Golf Club Maintenance Blog: Come On Spring......

Truly, this has been one of the most challenging startups for the upcoming golf season. Gathering up any kind of momentum is difficult, but we continue to press forward. Colder temperatures and snow this past week have really put a pause on any turf growth. Fortunately, we still have some projects on the old bucket list to complete which has kept the maintenance crew busy. It appears the temperatures will change for the better towards the middle of next week. Lets hope. Below are pictures of the projects completed this week including a lot of clearing and seeding. Each of these areas were seeded with fine fescue with a mulch material applied to secure seed and promote quick germination. We also installed new steps at the 5th tee complex. This area has become eroded over the years, so the steps should be a big help. Please be careful walking on the new steps. We ordered non slip pads for each step scheduled for installation next week. Also, please avoid walking on the new sod around the new steps. Thank you! See you on the course. Chris
