April Showers Bring May Flowers....

Finally, we're witnessing some normal temperatures and favorable weather for both golf and growing conditions.  We have been monitoring our root systems very closely over the last 3 weeks.  This is important as we head into the summer stretch.  I am VERY pleased with the progress we've made in our root depth and health.  Last October, we only had 2 inches of roots.  Not anymore!  We are now about 8 inches of healthy, vibrant white roots.  Greens are now being rolled Friday, Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.  As plant health and weather continues, rolling will increase.  Pictures below illustrate our great roots.  Also, we our introducing a new warm-up putting area on #1 black tee.  We'll continue to mow and lower the height followed by routine light topdressing.  This area will be ready in 2 weeks.  This upcoming week, we are planning to begin our bunker maintenance program.   A light haircut followed by a nutrition insecticide application.  See you on the course!
