Education and Demonstration Day at Golfcrest Country Club




My staff and I held an education and demonstration day on the putting green. We looked at some of our golf course equipment and talked a little bit about how they are used and why. This is the first education day we have had and it was attended by some of our newer members and other members of the Senior Staff.

The take home message of this meeting was every tool and practice we use on the golf course is for a reason. We have goals and plans for the entire year and we try our best to stick to these plans. The weather dictates our timing and without the correct timing and weather circumstances we can be hindered. We obviously want the best playing conditions possible everyday for our members and their guests, but sometimes we have to bite the bullet and do whats best from an agronomic standpoint. When we stick to our plans and look at the big picture we will always come out successful, even if we have set backs along the way. Thank you all for coming. I plan on having another event like this in the future.

First Blog

We mark the beginning of the Golfcrest Country Club Agronomy Blog. This is a tool I use to better communicate what is happening on the golf course to our membership. I am confident this will help answer many of your questions of, "how and why"? Please check back with us shortly as we continue to post.
