In times like this, I am so grateful the Club made the investment in a new irrigation system in recent years! Despite the severe drought, the golf course is just fine and Hap is more than relaxed than ever about the situation.
If you follow my blog, you'll know how much time and effort we spend over the winter months cleaning out overgrowth and weed growth in and around the golf course. Below are a few photos showing the work that's been completed over this past winter. One of my major professional goals for this year, is to better control the regrowth of those weeds in these areas. Without proper management and treatment, we'll be back in these areas, doing the exact same thing a year from now. To combat that, I am experimenting with a few different herbicides at different rates to see what is most effective at selectively removing the briar and weed growth while it's young and just now starting to emerge after a long winter. I'm certain that we'll find the most effective solution at controlling these aggressive weeds that overtake natural areas on the golf course. In the next month, I will talk about the results of these various trials and let you know what kind of success we are having. Stay tuned!
