LO. Maintenance Monday.

 Here are a couple of pictures from today Greens venting….

This has minimal disruption but does worlds of good for our greens. It helps the low cut greens reduce compaction, helps water move in the profile, and lets the soil profile breathe.  We are glad that the time change hit this weekend— this helps us get more sun to the greens that are in the shade most of the morning in the winter months (examples #1, #2, #11). These greens are getting extra care such as added granular fertilizer and topdressing. The longer hours of sun and sand will also help with the algae formation. Once we get consistent warm temperatures it will help the areas fill in and the extra fertilizer will get them moving. 

Thanks for everyone getting out and supporting the associations. We have had great turn outs on each groups play days and it is a great way for everyone to meet new members of the club.

Greens Maintenance

 This coming Monday we are going to vent greens at Live Oak. Now that weather is warming up and the amount of play we have had lately at Live Oak- we need to relieve the greens of the extra compaction they have received.  The holes will be minimal and they will be lightly sanded and rolled for couple days after the process. We will take a few before and after pictures on Monday when we are done. 

Thank you for the cooperation and keep coming out and having fun playing golf with us.
