More Divot Chat And Notes For The Week

I have been asked to put sand/seed containers on some par 4's when the tees are moved up. Iron use in these situations results in more divots. Fine with me. My staff will fill these divots with the correct sand/seed mix the next morning. Everyday, every morning. Those of you that play in the mornings can attest to this fact. One of my "obsessions" if you will is a clean tee surface devoid of broken tees and ALL divots filled. A goal that is usually met.
 I have noticed that some tee divots are filled with sand/seed from the golf carts. Please save that for the fairways and rough divots. It is not suitable for our tees. You help us look after the fairways and we will look after the tee surfaces (on par 3's everyone can help out as the containers have the correct mix). Fair enough?

On The Course This Week:

• Fertilizing greens, aprons and fairways.
• Continued weed control on holes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
• Preventative fungicide application on greens and tees (early fall, cool season disease potential).
• Dewatering of ponds beginning late Monday.

Note:

• It is soon approaching the time of season when double cutting ends and we begin to raise mowing heights on the greens. My next blog will go into more detail as to when and why.

All for now,
Wade
