The course aeration is complete aside from the rough which we will be solid tined throughout October and early next season. The back nine greens need a day or two of brushing, blowing and mowing to match the front nine due to the delay we experienced last week. Overall I am very pleased with the results even though the holes and some sand will be present into next spring. Well worth it in order to maintain good putting surfaces for the entire month of September.
The Tee House construction begins this week as Kellerdenali will be on site by Wednesday. Access to the 10th tee will not be affected but caution will be required when travelling on the cart path. A portion of the parking lot will be fenced off for the construction company and their equipment.
At the same time Answer Asphalt will be arriving on the golf course later this week to begin paving the remainder of the back nine paths as well as next to the first tee and around the 9th green. Their trucks, excavators and paving equipment will be present and in operation while we are open so please be mindful of their presence.
Towards the end of the week as the weather improves the first winter fungicide application will go down on greens, tees and approaches. Notification will be posted on both nines. If you would like further information on the product we are using please call me @ 780-203-4211. Fairways will be treated next week and will require 2 or 3 days of fairly decent weather to complete the task.
Finally we will be giving the greens, fairways and rough one more mowing cycle to keep the turf trimmed for remaining play into the last half of October. And of course, leaf cleanup will be ongoing for what seems like forever. Also please excuse the condition of the bunkers as they are not up to our usual standards. Time is running out and we need to concentrate our efforts and remaining staff in other areas.
