Like we do every year, we rent a heavy asphalt roller and roll all putting greens, two directions. After a winter of various forms of aerification combined with the natural freeze/thaw action that occurs in sand based root zones, this heavy roller helps get us to the point where we want to be before regular scheduled mowings commence. We could use our own lightweight rollers, but it would take quite a few times to get to where this puts us after one rolling. We will also be rolling the croquet lawns tomorrow following their aerification.
There is a lot happening today. All bunkers are being depth tested and being topped off with sand where needed. All of the bunkers are also being raked to start bringing them up to Highlands CC standards. Below, you can see tees are being mowed for the first time this season. We are mowing intermediate rough today as well as knocking out an extensive practice facility list. It's going to be a great year at Highlands CC!
