Today we had our annual Golf Marathon. This tournament is a beat down. How many holes of golf can you play in a day? Next year sign up so you can find out. We had a few things we are trying to accomplish today on the course. We put down a granular fertilizer this morning before everyone hit the course. We also topdressed all the tees with sand (photo on left) and caught up on a few other task after the rainy weekend. We recieved a much needed .75 inches yesterday.
The picture above is of our cartpaths. You may ask yourself why the cartpath edges are brown? Last week we sprayed out all of the cracks in the cartpaths with Round-up. This browning look on some of the egdges was overspray. Grass grows in the seems and cracks of the paths overtime. Sometimes I scratch my head and think how can we grow grass on concrete but sometimes not on good soil? And even on asphalt? The oversprayed grass should recover just fine and I am sure in the future we will have to spray out the seems again. We have two full weeks to get ready for our Black and White Member-Guest. With the cooperation from mother nature we are hoping to have the course in great shape for one of our biggest tournaments of the year. Get out and enjoy the cooler weather. Thank you for your continued support of the club, and I hope to see you on the course!
