In preparation for the warmer weather of the summer... do we have summer here? We have re-written the hydraulic tree on our central control computer. This computer operates the irrigation system in the most efficient way possible, as long as it is programmed properly.
If you would like to read more about the irrigation system you can visit www.turfhugger.com for a four part series called system check. I wrote this series a while back to help explain the importance of the irrigation system and the procedures that can be taken in the spring to ensure there will be no suprises come summer.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

This last weekend we had some heavy rain. The spring has stayed cool which has given us some disease pressure.
This is a picture of Snow Mold, a disease that is common on Poa in cooler wet weather.
If you have any questions or comments about turf disease or the course in general please contact me.

Topdressing the greens is an important and necessary practice on a golf course. The frequent incorporation of sand ensures that the putting surface remains true and healthy. Sand continually applied to the green also keeps thatch manageable.
If you have any questions about topdressing or any other questions regarding maintenance feel free to contact me.

Mowing the greens is an important practice that takes place on a daily basis. We mow greens regularly to ensure consistent ball roll and to improve density of the turf stand. We combine this practice with rolling to increase ball roll and in most cases protect plant health. Rolling and mowing at a higher height can make our jobs easier without compromising plant health.
