While our focus is primarily on the golf course, we can't forget about the amount of time and care spent on the various landscapes around the campus. Above, Nathan is busy giving the boxwoods at the courtyard a haircut. Nathan and Rita are often times given additional help from the golf course to have the grounds looking good by the time the club opens. Edging beds, pruning shrubs and installing new mulch are projects that require a lot of time and resources. Also this year, we are making some minor changes to the landscape around the clubhouse. The courtyard will have a fresh new look, while in other areas, overgrown trees and shrubbery has been removed and will be replaced with more appropriate plant material.
Below, two members of our team are putting out fertilizers on the putting greens. One is a Magnesium amendment and the other is a Potassium amendment. Spring is the best time of year to 'feed the soil' to get ready for the season. A neutral to slightly acidic soil pH along with balanced nutrition is a key way to ensure healthy turf over the course of the summer. Maintaining Bentgrass/Poa annua greens through the summer is like a marathon and there is no better way to ensure we finish the race, than to start with healthy turf that has a dense and deep root system.
