Maintenance Monday

 Finally some good weather to get some maintenance done to the greens and fairways. At Live Oak we sprayed Iron and pigment on the fairways. This should help with definition between fairways and roughs.  On the greens we ran the viper tines with the aerifiers.  This will help get some well needed oxygen in the soils.  We will finish with the venting of greens tomorrow in front of play —followed with a speed roller to smooth the surface.  Here are a few pics from today’s work…..

Jaws

 We were able to get some work done on Jaws this week. Think it should be a big difference for the up tee players.          

     Before and after from tee….

PreEmerge Yaupon

 This week we were able to get out the first pre emerge application. This application is to help prevent weeds this coming season.  Derick Hashimoto, the new superintendent at Yaupon, has hit the ground running- so when you see him around the course say Hello.
