Aeration Update Part 3 and LREP Progress

Aeration:

The greens aeration will start on Wednesday evening (practice greens and a few on the front 9) so that we can get finished quickly on Thursday morning. It will also help us if there is frost to contend with. No more delays assuming it doesn't rain that is. Please be prepared for less than "ideal" putting conditions. The fairways will be solid deep tine aerated this week. Specialty Turf will begin either Wednesday or Thursday and be finished by Friday. We will begin topdressing the fairways immediately after the weekend. As we move into October fungicide applications will begin as well. I will post notification for what, when and where we are spraying. We can usually treat greens and tees without seeing golfers. Fairways on the other hand take several days and we have to be out there when conditions permit so please keep that in mind when you see the sprayer. Thanks.

LREP:
  • Pond liner on #18 is being installed this week.
  • Sand will be installed into any bunkers that are ready beginning today.
  • Greens 17, 16, 15, 14 and 13 will have the new irrigation upgrades completed by Friday. That leaves greens 10, 11 and 12 for upgrades and major work on #10 in the next few weeks. 18 green was completed in 2010.
  • Sod will be laid down around the 15th greenside bunkers on Tuesday.
  • Cartpath prep work has begun on holes 15/16/17.
