Pics of Live Oak

Here are some pics from Live Oak.

Update.

Monday and Tuesday Yaupon will be closed for aerification and vertical mowing.  The course is holding up well with the heat and lack of rainfall this summer. This will be the third and fourth closed day of the summer. I would like to thank the GCM staff for all the hard work through the summer so far. Live Oak fairways are coming... still fertilizing weekly along with mowing. We have laid a couple of trucks of sod with one more load scheduled for Tuesday. I began rolling the fairways this week in hopes to smooth them out as much as possible. Looking forward to opening Live Oak in September to Cart Path Only.

Course update.

This week we sodded a few areas at Live Oak. It was mainly some approaches that were a little thin. Yaupon collars are finally starting to transition from the winter ryegrass-leaving some thin areas on the collars. We are closed 8/12-8/13 for aerification at Yaupon and we will make sure to aerify those collars. Her are a few pictures from athe sod work at Live Oak...

First mowing

Today we started mowing the front 9 fairways. Looking to get them mowed and then apply another round of fertilizer this weekend.

Fertilization

Today the time has come to start pushing the fairways with a fertilizer application. The front nine will receive fertilizer and a dose of water this afternoon. We are about at the 3 week point for the front nine and 2 week point on the back nine - Since planting the sprigs.

Wet Conditions

Live Oak fairways are wet. Some wetter than others but after the rains of almost 1” this weekend along with the new sprig watering we have to stay off of them.
We had another evening ride into 11 fairway. It was after the 5:00 hour. So please if you are out around the course or live on the course please stay on the cart path.

Thanks,
The GCM Staff

Please Stay off

Please stay off the fairways at Live Oak.  Once the sprigs go down we water extensively causing saturated soils. This is what happens when you drive out into a fairway with a cart......
