Verticutting Yaupon

We double verticut the greens at Yaupon today and mowed behind that. We are going to continue to remove material on the greens before we aerify in a few weeks. We also got fertilizer out on 2,4,5,6, 11,12, and 14 fairways. We are going to fertilize tees and collars tomorrow.  Then it would be nice to get some of this so called rain they are calling for.

Sod at Live Oak.

Sod is down on tees #3, #12, #13, and #4 Yaupon.

New Equipment

We received on new toro workman with the topdresser attachment last week. We were able to verticut greens today at Yaupon and then topdress with the new piece. It worked great. We also fertilized fairways at Yaupon.

Sod Prep at Live Oak

Today we started prepping areas for sod. We are going to start sodding a few tee boxes at Live Oak. The tees getting some sod are #3 blue, #3 white, #12 gold, #12 back of white tee, and #13 back of red/white tee. The 419 sod will be installed next Thursday.  We would also like to thank some of the Hills GCM team for there help with the prep work.

Yaupon Update

Today we verticut the greens two directions and mowed them after. We also fertilized the fairways, tees, and collars. Now we hope we get a little rain today- looks like the last chance for a while. We will continue spraying the goosegrass this week. I started last week spot spraying the tee tops and the collars (#16 - #4 are done).

Work at Live Oak

Today we got a lot of good work done at Live Oak. We verticut all the greens 3 directions and mowed them after.  We were also able to get all the goosegrass sprayed around the greens, tee boxes, and roughs. The verticutting will continue on Thursday's closed day going forward.
